One of our rival news organisations printed a news item which so far has been unsubstantiated:-

Sun Sport:- 'It will sound strange, but after the excellent JTM launch held recently a rumour has been growing. It�s seems that Matt Maple had some words with Team Owner Juan Tortella. We do not know exactly what is the problem but some source from inside the team told us that he heard this, ?ok, that?s all, I quit? then only silence.'
