Riders at Home – Team Suzuki Ecstar

With the world in lockdown due to the ongoing Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, we look at what some of Suzuki’s riders and teams have been getting up to in isolation to stay safe and healthy before global motorcycle #racing gets underway again. Today, Team Suzuki Ecstar…

Team Suzuki Ecstar’s Alex Rins and Joan Mir made history on March 29th by joining MotoGP™ rivals in the first ever live online race, hosted by Dorna and #motogp.com using the latest official #motogp computer game.

This was a breakthrough moment as motorcycle racers and fans are forced to sit out the COVID-19 pandemic, and a welcome and fun programme that was live on the #motogp.com YouTube page: CLICK HERE TO WATCH. And with more than 600,000 views so far has proved popular with more events in the pipeline. So if you missed the 40-minute show, tune in and watch.

Rins has also launched a new colouring #competition on his Facebook page with some exclusive Hawkers Co. x Alex Rins Sunglasses for the winner, but head to his page soon as entries close on April 15th : ALEX RINS FACEBOOK.

Mir, amongst other things, has a video of him and Rins inviting Suzuki fans to send in photos of themselves in their favourite #teamsuzukiecstar merchandise, which you can check out on his page: JOAN MIR FACEBOOK.

And Suzuki #motogp Test Rider Sylvain Guintoli has produced a video from his van in his driveway at home, with his personal GSX-R1000 in the background, explaining all about HOW and WHY riders started using the leg-dangle technique. Well worth a look, along with his other informative videos via his Facebook page: SYLVAIN GUINTOLI FACEBOOK

Other #teamsuzukiecstar members, although wishing to get back on track at the soonest, have been baking bread, keeping fit, fixing their motorcycles, and, in the case of #teamsuzukiecstar Technical Manager Ken Kawauchi, building more Radio Controlled #racing cars.
