Friday arrival for them is sort of bad timing. The world's attention will be on the press conf that day.

The following week? That'd be better.

They are going there on January 2nd and trying to make press day on Friday. They might spin some laps on SX track, I suppose.

well passengers needs to be a lot more fit than racer. If passsenger does his job very good than racer feels alomst like riding solo bike. so for him its much easier to ride and also can go faster.
If passeger is bad than crazier is racer, who trusts him and is big possibility to crash.

I guess sidecar racing in europe is much more popular than in US isnt it? Every year were going to a couple of those races, pretty incredible what they can do!

I was fortunate enough to see some European side hacks race back in the late 70’s at a track in Ohio. They are worth going to check out. Unreal what they do. I am sure with the suspension technology we have today it is even crazier. Wish I could be there!

LOL, it is even better to watch it in person but the RAW edit is already giving the right impression.

I always liked to watch side cars like that, monsters that change the rear tyre as often as refueling the beast !

It must be impressive for people who are not used to this, particularly because the track is fully cleaned afterwards !

Watched my old man race sidecars as a youngster here in Aus, he was the passenger, crazy shit.

The guy who owned the bike's brother John Robinson was one of the best side car racers in the world back in the day.
