    Go Franco….what an opportunity, you deserve it , and well done Dave & Pete you have a done a lot to make this happen with the work you put in at the Marvel HCL team , Matt looks like a proud and nervous dad …..FairPlay to him, his faith in Franco has paid off, like he said, hard to let go, but this was the plan ….👍👍🇮🇲💪

    Natural progress from a great team. A fab opportunity, but let's be honest, chances don't come like this if you don't have the talent and Franco has talent in abundance. Go Franco, we're 100% behind you, can't wait to see you at Snett. Paul & Janine.

    The comment "most fun I've ever had on a motorbike" is a bloody good feeling to have. I had this myself on the track last time I was there. The feeling is like nothing else. Go on Franco! A huge congrats!

    I was at Cadwell that day riding on the Morini Riders club track day. It was already a great day but at lunchtime to see Franco circulating on the the Superbike was such a treat. Well done to Matt, Pete & Dave to put Franco in this time & place. Wishing Andy a speedy & full recovery but meanwhile I hope Franco smashes out of the park.

    I can't quite think of the word that comes to mind , when I hear Franco talk about his bike racing experiences.
    The nearest word that comes close is serene.
    Despite obviously being nervous at riding a Superbike for the first time, Franco seems to have a calm and humbleness about him that is a sign, to me, of someone who is going to great places with their talent.
    I'm pretty sure it's in his inherent character and, the mentoring that you splendid lot have given him in his career thus far.
    What, I guess...I'm trying to say in this waffle is, the Franco future is looking very bright!
    Well done everybody, who is involved in this adventure!

    Well done team to progress Franco up the ladder, I know well the feeling of passing your rider that you’ve nurtured on to another team in the next class, you’ve done magic with him over the years, we raced along side him for a few years in the BTC, we wish him all the best running under Havier who is a fantastic lad.
    All the best from Stiggymotorsport 🏁🏁🏁

    Dave, a fan request. I find track day suspension adjustments are a complete enigma. As in, I’ve got a base setting but what should I change if I’m drifting out wide, the rear tyre is ripping or switching to wets. Any content on a simple approach to this and an explanation of what’s happening would be amazing.
