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 ….👍👍🇮🇲💪
Well done Dave and team Marvel youve done Franco proud yourselves proud and i think i can speak on behalf of all of us youve made us proud BLOODY WELL DONE X
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!
Awesome! I have never felt so involved as a spectator to this unfolding story, felt nervous excitement just like the team, great work all the best for everybody involved.
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!
Think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say we bloody love you lot at Obsession, great content, even greater folk. ‘As long as he don’t hoop it or out’ classic Pete ✊🏍💨
Such incredible news for both MarvelHCL team & Franco! What an experience & exposure that Franco will get & that he continues his starring progress ⭐️ Well done to you Dave for being part of it throughout 💪💪🤙
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 🏁🏁🏁
The only surprise is how quick hes been given the chance! He gets mentioned on MotoGP podcasts as the rising star in the British Paddock and I really believe he should be snapped up and put on a Moto2 bike asap.
Really enjoying the videos, thanks for sharing and good luck Franco! 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.
Great news read about it in MCN and it's well deserved you boys should be well proud so Dave you don't fancy a run on the Stocker 🤔 will be watching at Snett good luck Franco! 🍀
What a great opportunity for him. Will the Marvel team run another young rider in the interim and give them a chance on the bike or save some money and wait until he's back once Andy Irwin is fit again?
I'm 30 seconds in. Well chuffed for you 👍. Hope you keep the ride or get it next year mate. Andrew not being there is safer for everyone I'm (not) afraid to say!? 🤡
You've helped develop that lad in double quick time ! He's certainly a proper talent and seems a nice young un too.....will you still be doing the odd vlog on him ?
Yes yes yes brilliant news Franco shall i sell my house and bet on you taking a podium some time very soon. Could see you was like a kid in a sweet shop wishing you all the best.
6,000 usd Ohlins forks right there. 3,500 usd Nova trans 5,000 usd Ohlins shock and for the cherry on top 10,000 usd Suter swingarm according to what I paid for my bike. A little upgrade from a superstock Honda lol Edit: also 3,500 usd radiator and no telling how much for the Nisin brake configuration

Well done Franco 👏 this kid really deserves to get a go on the factory team ✊💪
You must be very proud parents 🤩 Congratulations to Franco and team.
Awesome! I have never felt so involved as a spectator to this unfolding story, felt nervous excitement just like the team, great work all the best for everybody involved.
Bloody brilliant. The lad fully deserves a ride out on the superbike. Credit to him and the team for doing such a cracking job.
Outstanding and well deserved. ENJOY the ride.

Well deserved. Great to see Honda giving young Franco a shot at it. Take note McAMS!
Well done to all who got him there, great to see him in practice today at snetterton.
I think Wade is wearing the same race suit he had back in the late eighties at the TT !! What a legend
Fantastic. Great lad who really deserves a top ride. Well done also to all those involved with Franco.
Absolutely brilliant result glad to see your still involved stay safe & enjoy
Man hugs to Marvel! What a great job .
Go Franco that lad from Crook with the bestest gran 😊
Avril is a darling!

Thanks Nick. He's a good guy and as you say, calm and collected which definitely helps on and off the bike
Well done Franco , great to see you getting a break after all the work you , dave and Pete have put in .
Great job by all at Marvel
I was brought up just a few miles from where Franco is from its great to see him now a Honda uk works rider 😊
Brilliant job guys. Congrats Franco and good luck. Steep learning curve but you’ve proved on the stocker your up for the challenge.👍🙌🙌
Thank you for this behind the scenes insight
So good to see! Had you in mind for the McAms ride. Great to see Honda developing their talent.
Brilliant insight this Dave to a BSB HRC UK bike that it is. Loved the detailed review of the things they have on these bikes. All the best to FB54!
Think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say we bloody love you lot at Obsession, great content, even greater folk. ‘As long as he don’t hoop it or out’ classic Pete ✊🏍💨
Pete says what we all think 😂
All credit to the three of you (and the boy). You should be very proud of yourselves!
Well done to the whole team , we all look forward to the future Franco ✊🏁🍾
Great work lads , he is a credit to you all
Such incredible news for both MarvelHCL team & Franco! What an experience & exposure that Franco will get & that he continues his starring progress ⭐️ Well done to you Dave for being part of it throughout 💪💪🤙
Fair play to Honda letting you film and get close. Top lads
Great job Dave 👌🏼🏁
Well done Franco, best of luck and well deserved.
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.

What an achievement! All the best to Franco and well done to Dave and the team! Can't wait for Snett now! 👍
Well done Franco and the team. What a great bunch....he'll go far and fast
Pleased for Franco and well done for everyone involved, an all round fantastic effort,
Well done Dave, Franco and team
Wow, another new twist for the chanel, bring it on.
Excellent Franci😁well deserved opportunity 👍 Harvs a clever man 😜😜😁
Ps Mammy Franco is proud as punch 😁😁
Awesome video yet again. Congratulations to all involved and Franco obviously 👏
Brilliant job boys, well done. 👏
I'm looking forward to seeing the next few races. 😊
Great stuff, thanks
Fantastic Dave, will be cheering him on this wkend, maybe a wild card on the stocker for you? 😉
The only surprise is how quick hes been given the chance!
He gets mentioned on MotoGP podcasts as the rising star in the British Paddock and I really believe he should be snapped up and put on a Moto2 bike asap.
Well deserved real up and comer
Great work from the team as well
Team work makes the dream work! Huge well done.
This is so cool. Loving the journey!
Fantastic
Really enjoying the videos, thanks for sharing and good luck Franco!

Great news read about it in MCN and it's well deserved you boys should be well proud so Dave you don't fancy a run on the Stocker 🤔 will be watching at Snett good luck Franco! 🍀
I'll leave the stocker ready for Franco,, it's more suited to his talent
This is just amazing,
Well done to all of you 👊🏻
Congrats Dave. Good fortune to you
Well done Franco!!
Awesome. Good luck FB!!!!!
Great news!
Awesome.
Great job to marvel
Good to see Dave and Boasty pulling the strings to get Franco where he belongs!
Great job.
What a great opportunity for him. Will the Marvel team run another young rider in the interim and give them a chance on the bike or save some money and wait until he's back once Andy Irwin is fit again?
We're keeping it ready for Franco, and we'll be in background if he needs us while on the super
Testament to you guys !!!!
Well done Franco
I'm 30 seconds in. Well chuffed for you 👍. Hope you keep the ride or get it next year mate. Andrew not being there is safer for everyone I'm (not) afraid to say!? 🤡
Lovely video. What are Obesession's racing plans now you don't have Franco to look after?
We'll be in the background, and helping out around the paddock
Brilliant Franco just keep it together for Snetterton and enjoy your time on the Honda
Well done that lad! 🙂
WOW The boy has talent.
Excellent news. Hopefully he can keep Irwin out of that seat permanently
Nice.
Well done everyone 👌💪🤙
So, you'll be riding the stocker at Snett then Dave ???
Not this time!
Sick! 👌🏼
You've helped develop that lad in double quick time ! He's certainly a proper talent and seems a nice young un too.....will you still be doing the odd vlog on him ?
A little but not as in depth as usual
A bit off topic, but Dave have you seen the photo of you airborne at the TT on Tracy’s Pictures? It’s impressive 👍
I'll go check it out!
Wow that's awesome. So will he still be riding the superstock as well as the Superbike?
Just the super, he'll need to concentrate on that for now
Are you doing anymore video’s following Franco in BSB?
Yes. But had a laptop issue with the Snetterton footage unfortunately
What are the main challenges in getting the superbike competitive Dave?
If Franco gels with it, they'll be competitive, the honda was 2nd in last year's championship so it's capable
Is Marvel giving anyone a seat on the stocker? You could hop on Dave 😄
At the moment we're keeping the stocker ready for Franco
So has he stopped stock and moved to BSB for rest of the season? What happens with the Marvel gig?
No stocker for now, we will be supporting him in the background
Who’s pedalling the Marvel bike at Snett?
We're keeping it ready for Franco!
So how does this work out money wise for your team then?
We don't worry about the money, getting Franco spotted was always priority
Gddd luck and enjoy
Pleased for you all
Yes yes yes brilliant news Franco shall i sell my house and bet on you taking a podium some time very soon. Could see you was like a kid in a sweet shop wishing you all the best.

The swing arm is a bit more as its the billet not pressed option 😬😂
@@obsession_engineering oh just add another 15,000 usd🤯
Get in Franco 😂🎉
Obvious question....
Why not Mr Hewson to British Superstock?
Costs too much 😂
Does he come back to you once Andy Irwin is back ?
That's the plan
@@obsession_engineering that’s great have you promoted someone to cover Franco in the superstock ?
👍👌
Well deserved franco
Top Banana
Take the bull by the horns franco som
Well done team, Franco wouldn’t have been noticed if he was riding a peace of crap!
So I guess the old fireblade is redundant now?
I'll give you £5k for it?😂
🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
What a fairy tale. From rags(superstock) to riches(superbike) 😂
Awesome.
