How to approach the Grand Prix of the Americas in Texas without mentioning Kevin schwantz ?
Everyone remembers the fantastic fights that the man born in Houston in 1964 had on the handlebars of his #34 Suzuki with his great friend Wayne Rainey which has Kenny Roberts, Wayne Gardner, Michael Doohan, Eddy Lawson et Randy Mamola, in a golden era for American pilots…
What we know a little less is that the 1993 500cc World Champion also participated in the development of the fantastic Circuit of the Americas, and that he follows the Grands Prix with as much passion and enthusiasm as ever. SKILLS.
This is why we wanted to ask him the following 3 questions, to which he was quick to answer with the greatest kindness and simplicity: certainly the characteristic of a very great person!
- What was your involvement in the layout of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin?
- What are your favorites for this weekend's races?
- In what state of mind will you go to the Sunday Ride Classic the weekend of May 11 and 12?
A very big thank you to Mr. Kevin Schwantz!
