IIn a series of interviews with successful GP riders, we start with a very big name from the motocross world: Sylvain Geboers. He was very close to a world title in the 250cc several times and afterwards a successful team manager.
Geboers is a phenomenon and a jack of all trades. He and his colleagues travelled across the big pond to teach the Americans how to motocross and won several world titles as a team manager after his active career. In the three-part interview with him, you get a very accurate picture of his career as a motocross rider, as a team owner, as a friend of Joël Robert and as a brother of the late Eric. We are therefore very proud to be able to get one of our childhood heroes in front of the camera.
This final episode covers mufflers, the financial difficulties of privateers in MXGP, our current talents in the Motocross World Championship, the broken front fork of 1969, electric motorcycles and the great collaboration with the Japanese in Hamamatsu.
