I wish I had enough money to have been there. I'm 61 years old and my dream would be to come to an event like that. I have enjoyed road racing since I was a child. Freddie Spencer, Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey were my hero's, so to see those old bikes gets my blood pumping. Thanks, Johnny, for sharing and let's see the prince of Portimão put on a show this weekend.

Same here. I'm a little bit younger than you but I grew up watching since around '85 and have the same heroes, Mamola being my favorite rider of all time. I would have LOVED to have been at an event like this.

Good to see one positive from the move to Yamaha. Best of luck for the rest of the SBK season, there were moments in Portimao where it looked like you might be moving toward the podium. I look forward to seeing you back on top.

We need 2 strokes back, they're the least polluting these days, (and the most fun to ride) awesome content as usual
@captaintoyota31715 ай бұрын
With direct injection and turbo/supercharging they actually dont smoke much at all. Modern ecu's can control thinks fast enougj now to run 500bar fuel.pressure on diesels. So yeah they should. Id bet itd be not much more polluting than the air frieght etc world championships could reduce via scheduling logically. So yeah lets do 2strokes pinnicle prototype racing engines free minus capacity. Keep chassis aero rules in check but let Bmw, honda, yamaha, ducatti, ktm, aprillia race to build the best 2 stroke EVER in mans history. Im down 4 that
