Have to say, that’s one of the best behind the scenes BSB video I’ve seen on You tube. The majority of people watching the racing probably don’t realise just how much time and effort and money all the teams put in. Not all teams are awash with cash. I hope a good company or individual comes along and helps an up and coming team and rider like yours. All the best with his recovery.
Thanks Dave & the Rapid Honda Team for your continued energy & commitment to help Franco bring his abilities to the fore! Gutted for Franco to sustain injuries & hope he recovers quickly! You are a superstar Dave bringing the real & raw experience of runnings of a team wanting to achieve greatness. Wishing the team all the very best, to Franco, a rapid recovery & Matt a leader of fantastic people!
That first race was incredible. I see why Dean Harrison was at Dao so long now. 😂 Hope Franco is ok. I've got to say you are having no luck at all this season particularly as there's been so many moments where it's looked like a cracking result could be on only for some form of bad luck to come along or a crash to scupper everything. Onwards and upwards!
Outstanding as always thank you. Sorry it was an awful outcome but some huge positives before the accident. Good luck for Cadwell and speedy recovery Franco
Great stuff as usual Dave. You guys are a great team. Wish Franco all the best recovering. Hopefully it will all come together for you guys. Best of luck.
The stat about the rear tyre was good ! Hope Franco gets sorted soon, And onwards & upwards at cadwell with tom, Fingers crossed the bike comes back in one piece so you dont have to raid the piggy bank again,
Unlucky weekend for the team and Franco. Informative and honest these vlogs show the real struggles in BSB that you don't see on Eurosport. God it was a fast one! Speedy recovery to Franco, and good luck to the team at Cadwell with Tom.
Damage to bike: 5 figure sum. Dave's explanation of trail: priceless!! Not on social media but from comments I presume Franco is not fit and Tom (Ward?) is riding at Cadwell. Good luck to all and speedy recovery to Franco.
@@obsession_engineering consider being Marc Márquez's team .. unless you're racing to win.. you're practicing .. to win .. every off is data in the bank .. that run off avoiding a rash is excellent practice .. it happens to eeeveryone but not everyone rides on from it .. he's got a good head that lad 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿nz 💕💕
Thanks for the vlog Dave. Gutted that the weekend ended like it did for the team. Hope Franco's recovery goes well & he will be back for Oulton. I'm sure Tom will do a decent job for the team at Cadwell. He is a under rated rider who likes to get in the mix. All the best 👍🏻
Thanks for your honesty as always, really hope Franco is ok. Hope you can keep going as these videos give amazing insight. You really deserve a break and with the attitude and dedication in your team it will happen. Cant wait to see the smiles when it does.
Evening Dave ….great to see you and say hi on Saturday evening in the MGP paddock, you looked knackered already, don’t overdo it…Just have a great week, and I hope the guys you are helping have a safe one….👍🇮🇲👌 ps , sad news about Franco missing Cadwell , but let’s see what Tom can do…and take things forward from that.😉👌🇮🇲
heavy stuff, just gutted .. the crash at the end .. ooff i cry when i snapped bolt on a track day a few years back, -awesome team -work ethic 100000% -bsb running hard -techstuff 1000% like -get some promo lady's hehehe ;)
Lets hope he recovers well! Am curious as to will u get the latest specc fireblade next season from homda or 1 season older? I think he will be very impressive on the latest specc.
At the point where the Saturday race was obviously lost with the trip on the grass, would Franco have been better to have put an absolute flyer in then bring it home to get a better position in race 2?
for franco's "bio.." not bad ! 1000cc munich-made only some peanuts anyway ... 👏👏👏 and a 1000cc ducati or ~1,2liter ducati behind away honda cost nearly the same like ducati tiere "game" is mental , nobody can drive/ride a other brand like the first equipment if customer's / followers buy a new motorbike ➡️ stupid marketing !!! how does a "slick" feel without gloves and heat , is it so much more like "glue" at the skin? or can people bring the same result with road-legal tieres ??? - good luck for this season
The difference between BSB and Moto America is EMBARRASSING 🫣!! For you guys, it looks like WSBK and for us it's like mediocre club racing at best. Not to mention our tracks are rubbish with a couple exceptions. Ugh.
This is the best behind the scenes video documentary in any form of racing.
Thanks, that's a great bit of feedback for us 🙂
Here Here! damn right it is!
Agreed, serious content producer and top man overall.

Thanks Paul, always appreciate happy feedback 😁
Franco is maturing right in front of our eyes.
I Hope Franco makes a speedy recovery and good luck with Tom at Cadwell. Great video and really shows us fans what it's really like.
Big crash great to hear he is doing OK
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
Obviously not a good weekend but hopefully Franco's ok so repair it and bring on Cadwell Park.
Thanks Dave & the Rapid Honda Team for your continued energy & commitment to help Franco bring his abilities to the fore!

Get well soon, Franco ……look forward to seeing you in the points

Honest appraisal of a difficult situation. Great vlog as always Dave, speedy recovery for Franco
Damage to bike: 5 figure sum.
Dave's explanation of trail: priceless!!
Not on social media but from comments I presume Franco is not fit and Tom (Ward?) is riding at Cadwell. Good luck to all and speedy recovery to Franco.
Franco is recovering, but we don't want to rush him and risk any damage, so Tom will be riding instead

Ahh! A sad thumbs down from the whole team 😢 I feel sure this will be inverted by Caldwell time 👍 Get well soon Franco🤞🏻🙏🏻
Back on the horse again
Thanks for the vlog Dave. Gutted that the weekend ended like it did for the team. Hope Franco's recovery goes well & he will be back for Oulton. I'm sure Tom will do a decent job for the team at Cadwell. He is a under rated rider who likes to get in the mix. All the best 👍🏻

Great video as ever, not the best of weekends but you are still the best team out there. Keep doing what youare doing, look forward to seeing you soon
Keep going guys, your all doing a fantastic Job 🙏🏻

It's a tough old game Dave. Most importantly I hope 'the boy' is OK. Look forward to seeing you all in hopefully, sunny Lincolnshire next weekend.
Great video 👍
Great video as always. Hope you're luck improves over the rest of the season
Bike racing is a tough game 😮😮😮
Such a shame, hope Franco is ok and a sponsor with a fat wallet appears really soon.
heavy stuff, just gutted .. the crash at the end .. ooff
i cry when i snapped bolt on a track day a few years back,
-awesome team
-work ethic 100000%
-bsb running hard
-techstuff 1000% like
-get some promo lady's hehehe ;)
Lets hope he recovers well! Am curious as to will u get the latest specc fireblade next season from homda or 1 season older? I think he will be very impressive on the latest specc.
There are plans.. But they cost a lot so we're working hard to put all the pieces in place
👍
I would imagine when that rear tyre wear that right hand corners would feel like falling off a cliff!!
Shame its costs so much money $$$ and good luck with that
I have £100 and some well wishes if that helps :/
Funding my own crashing is hard haha
21:20 what size and what Pressure do you use in the tyres for the Race?
We're on the 200/65 rear but the pressure is a closely guarded secret... It's well above the 1.65bar lower limit though!
At the point where the Saturday race was obviously lost with the trip on the grass, would Franco have been better to have put an absolute flyer in then bring it home to get a better position in race 2?
He only got 1 lap before he caught the group in front, a second flier would have been useful
Wallas and grommet... Lol
for franco's "bio.." not bad ! 1000cc munich-made only some peanuts anyway ... 👏👏👏 and a 1000cc ducati or ~1,2liter ducati behind away honda cost nearly the same like ducati
tiere "game" is mental , nobody can drive/ride a other brand like the first equipment if customer's / followers buy a new motorbike ➡️ stupid marketing !!!
how does a "slick" feel without gloves and heat , is it so much more like "glue" at the skin? or can people bring the same result with road-legal tieres ???
- good luck for this season
