Haslam released from Alstare contract
In agreement with Leon therefore, Francis Batta has now decided sportingly to let him decide his own future.
"We all wish Leon all the best for the season 2011," said team Alstare. "We are disappointed to lose such a talented rider in whom we had put all of our hopes. Obviously our main partner did not share our opinion."
Haslam added: "This year has been incredible, my best. I'm disappointed not to fulfill my World Superbike title aspirations with Team Alstare, as we planned one year ago. However, I am extremely grateful that they afforded me the opportunity in 2010 and then, graciously, have allowed me to depart in this courteous and gentlemanly manner."
Leon Haslam will be released from his obligations with Team Alstare on Sunday night after the last race in Magny-Cours in order for him to test with his new team.
