Wonder what the back story to this is? Such a shame.

the coorperation between Michael and the team got worse by demands from him the team could not do.
the team did everything Michael whised and kept themselfs at the contract.
the team thinks Michael's actions where based to get of the team so he can ride at another team.

Beursfoon Rockstar Suzuki team will stop immediately the cooperation with Michael Leib!
The Beursfoon Rockstar Suzuki Team has decided to immediately terminate the cooperation with Michael Leib.
In November 2012 Michael Leib was guest driver for the team during some supercross races and has a number of tests done on the engines of the team. This pleased him so well that the plan was hatched to the Grand Prix and Dutch Championship to ride in 2013. After all, his contract with Kawasaki CLS was broken and he was looking for a new team. We wanted to help him, as he is a talented rider and certainly was an asset to the team.
In the winter he raced some supercross races in America for the team of his father and then he broke his arm. Michael was back riding too fast which caused his arm partially broke again, which meant that he had to miss the first few races of the Dutch Championship and the Grand Prix of Valkenswaard. There was contact with Michael weekly but unfortunately did his arm healed poorly.
End of May then there was finaly the moment that Michael came to the Netherlands. Despite reports that in America he was training every day, he could no longer ride here in the Netherlands, 15 to 20 minutes. The team contacted a specialist in the Netherlands to study his medical condition.
The collaboration with the team, however, worsened by the fact that Michael Leib increasingly asked for unrealistic demands. The team has fulfilled all his wishes and the contract agreements. The team always does everything the rider wants to enable them to perform well. Possibly his actions were intended to force an arguement so that he could accept an offer from another team.
The above reasons is why The Beursfoon Rockstar Suzuki Team has decided to break the cooperation with Michael Leib with immediate effect.
We are sorry that we have to take this decision, especially for all loyal sponsors / business partners who have been waiting long for the arrival of Leib.
For over 15 years we are in the motocross-industry and have never experienced anything like this. We will consider us about our future plans.
