After being introduced to motorcycling via a school visit by the immortal John Cooper in the 60s and being a keen follower of racing over the years I've found my interest rekindled watching your and the talented Franco's stories over the last year or two. No lack of competition but so different from the Premier Class with Marques trying to kill himself and anyone else in the way...

These are awesome. You just feel the excitement of it all and learn a huge amount through the snippets and comments. Rapid do properly useful training for mortals too. Thanks!

Great video Dave, absolutely love these BSB weekend vlogs. 👍 Playing a blinder in your Roving Mechanic/Data Tech/Rider coach/reporter role! I think it just shows how important knowing the rider is because the Marvel debrief clearly made a difference to Sunday's race.

As usual Dave loved it. Something tv does not show often, the fighting going on further down the grid. Never the less exiting to see these young riders progress as they push hard. I’ve raced and know how hard it is to get anywhere near the front, let alone a win. You showed it as it is. These young guys inc Franco will be the stars of the future.

Thank you for posting this. Greatly appreciate all the work that you must have to put in to produce these videos. May have to buy some merch if you keep this up! Excellent to see a broad spread of the goings on in pitlane at BSB. And I was worried I wouldn't be able to follow Franco's progress now.

Really enjoying the behind the scenes and paddock banter. Boy those 4 stroke really get expansive when they crash, my RS250 Honda usually was only a foot peg / handle bar and maybe an exhaust (we never counted bodywork) . You must be exhausted helping all those riders over the weekend but I guess it helps keep your thin so you can have as much cake as you want. Great job by Franco (don't tell him) and I hope he get past Tito next race ;-)

Another great video Dave, really interesting stuff. What happens with regard to Honda 'stealing' Franco. Does the team get any sort of compensation, as he's not riding your bike, and sponsor's have to be kept happy.

@obsession_engineering Жыл бұрын

He went with our blessings. It's all a little in limbo with sponsors at the moment, but that's really matt's problem as he's the money man. Luckily I think everyone shares our views that it's more for franco's progress and only a little for the exposure

@stevencorcoran5620 Жыл бұрын

@obsession_engineering Even missing these rounds, I think Franco will still finish high up in the standings, and a lot of it will be down to the teams hard work and guidance. I came across your site via your videos on the gen 2 Tuono, and have watched every one since. I'm looking forward to future vlogs, especially regarding the team and Franco, and the fountain of knowledge, Pete Boast. You have a star in Franco, and he can only get better with people that are in the team nurturing him and guiding him to what will hopefully be a brilliant future. All the very best to all the team Dave.

Great racin, thanks for the vid, and one question, what effect is it on the tires with the heat cycle , you have all those tires ready and then not use them , they go cold till the next race. cold ,hot . how does that mess with the tire? Cheers

@obsession_engineering Жыл бұрын

I'm told they only hear cycle above 70 degrees, so they are kept just below and boosted up a little before they're needed. And some are just hanging around in there!
