While browsing YouTube, we came across this site, Momo Circus, which, instead of launching into one of the countless debriefings of MotoGP news, adopts a new angle and intends to give pride of place to exotic and often ignored races.
Although perhaps limited in time, the concept is interesting and the format pleasant. “Momo”, alias Morgan Govignon for close friends, thus leads us to The Bañeza which we have already spoken to you about, but also in Cameroon, Senegal, and especially, more recently, in central Mexico for the Cain Road Race, which takes its name from the contraction of "carrera infierno", the race of hell. Appetizing, right?
In a “Meet in an unknown race” format, we discover the 74 kilometers and 538 turns which separate El Palmito, located at an altitude of almost 2000 meters, from La Concordia 1800 meters lower.
Mechanics "on the go", reconnaissance on the open road, and off we go for the race, solo, against the clock!
But here, ultimately, the time doesn't matter, even if the distance record of 37 minutes 57 seconds has belonged to a Colombian since 2020. We are very far from the TT and its hotheads who put their lives in danger for a handful of people. seconds, an attitude certainly incomprehensible but nevertheless respectable. No, here the point is different and just as respectable, simply to have fun.
And fun, the two protagonists of the video obviously took a lot of it, without taking too many risks but giving their all all the same, after putting the cursor in the “I’m coming home in one piece” position. . And finally, we must admit, just for that, we envy them!
So if you feel like it for the 2024 edition of this race born in 2016, which is a bit to motorcycles what the Carrera Panamericana is to cars, click this link.
