TRENT LOWE v JV & Slipstream

TRENT LOWE the Cycle Racer Versus JV & Slipstream


What was a clear case of crossed communications between Employer and Employee caused untold damage when Twitter was used as a form of communication . Why some people resort to discussing legal matters in public defies my imagination .

Essentially Trent Lowe gave notice in August 2010 that he had another team to join in 2011 since his contract was about to expire . That Slipstream chose to not reply was their prerogative and Trent appears to acted as other Team Racers had at the Pegasus Training Camp . JV or his advisors decided to take action against Trent and denied him payments that he felt were his due . In sacking “ Whitey “ , JV caused further problems for ALL Parties to the dispute .

The following link will give a fair overview of what transpired from August 2007 through January 2011 .

Should be an interesting story to follow since there has been a lot of info disclosed about what “ UCI “ policy expects of a team and the riders in relation to their health issues .
