Even if we occasionally spotlight this or that Rookie, Paddock-GP, as its name suggests, primarily deals with Grands Prix.
Also, when our only representative in MotoGP and our only representative in Moto2 decide to go to an event whose contours are still quite obscure to us, we are sufficiently intrigued to ask its organizer to describe to us the Sunday Ride Classic in one minute flat.
Jean-Pierre Bonato: “the Sunday Ride Classic is an event that brings together all expressions of motorcycling across all ages. So we might as well come across
Agostini with the 700 TZ with which he won Daytona in 1974, that John Zarco who will ride a 500 2-stroke factory Suzuki from 1998.
There are 11 races, from the Historic Grand Prix through to the Classic European Endurance, but beyond these riders on the track, there is a show with 14 manufacturers present with several fleets of current motorcycles on test , signing sessions to meet your favorite riders, the Moto2 Tech 3 presented by Guy Coulon, and an exhibition on the most beautiful French Grand Prix motorcycles all under the theme of French Grand Prix riders, Tournadre (first French rider World Champion in 1982) until Zarco and Baz, passing by Laconi and Christian Sarron. There are also collectors and all this makes for a very full, very dense weekend, in the magnificent setting of the Paul Ricard circuit and, we hope, under the beautiful sun of Provence.”
Stop! Don't throw any more away; we'll be there…
