Wannabe racers who are a pain on the road need to get on track and discover humility. I went on a track day early in my riding career, and it taught me a lot. 42 years later I am still riding.

[@iTxip]

Basically 10 seconds off wsbk, that is really fast in anything with plates. He was probably passing people with dedicated track bikes who were like "wtf!?!?"

[@watsisbuttndo829]

Dragging that massive rear numberplate around was probably costing him a second!

[@gargarbad6047]

IKR, he even used road tires, I didn't realize until the end when people say standard motorcycle, they usually still change to race tires and remove non essential road parts like plates, signs, and mirrors GG

Such a gent and a truly undersung racer. Had the pleasure of meeting him years ago when he was teammates with Chris Vermeulen and was struck by his humility and general great-blokeyness. Props to you Sylvain!!!

Just for reference the WSB lap record is 1.27. So on a stock bike with road tyres on a cold track - very impressive.

@SDSSMotoChannel You seem to be obsessed with other people riding... Why don't you focus on your own riding and stop mocking other riders that may be slower than you are but just have bought a motorcycle they like and want to enjoy track time? Sure enough there are always people farting upper than their own arses but if so they ridicule themselves already, so what's the point?
