As an enthusiast, we can only welcome all the initiatives aimed at raising awareness and appreciation of motorcycling in general and motorcycling racing in particular in France.
As such, it is therefore appropriate to welcome the creation of the festival "French Riviera Motorcycle Film Festival".
Comme son nom l’indique,
et à l’image de son grand frère mondialement célèbre, il se
déroulera sur la Côte d’Azur, les 2, 3 et 4 mars à l’Espace Magnan
de Nice.
Olivier Wagner and his team will welcome Freddie spencer, the President of the Jury, to award the following prizes: Best Feature Film, Best Short Film, Audience Award, to the best films concerned among the fifteen titles presented in competition.
For fans of modern speed, we can only recommend you, apart from the teaser of Bernard Fau's film on Johann zarco, Il Mago Mancini, which we talked to you about recently (see here) and which perfectly illustrates the environment in which they were immersed Loris Capirossi, Valentino Rossi, Andrea Dovizioso, Roman Fenati et Franco Morbidelli, and why they are here today!
But we can bet that with the diversity of the works, you will come out with heightened passion and eyes full of new horizons...
