'2007-2008 Winter tests - Sylvain Guintoli
05/08/2008

In one week all the MotoGP actors will be at Le Mans for the fifth round of the '2008 championship, which started at Qatar in March. To get back into the swing of things, you've discovered three black and white strips about the '2007 edition. Here is the making of.

For his first MotoGP season, Sylvain Guintoli impressed fans and racing professionals. Development rider for Dunlop alongsde Makoto Tamada with the Tech 3 team, Sylvain Guintoli had a perfectible equipment. In spite of this, he learnt quickly without mistakes. He had sevral good results : 4th at Motegi, 1st in free practise at Brno. For his fifth Grand Prix in the premier class (except '2002 Brno), Sylvain Guintoli led the race.

On this May, 20th, 2007, the spectators present on the Bugatti circuit could applause the two leading French riders. Even if Randy de Puniet crashed and Sylvain Guintoli finished in 11th position after a highside, that was a wonderful moment. Now, Sylvain Guintoli rides for Luis d'Antin aboard a Ducati, equipped with Bridgestone tyres.

So ends my '2007 winter tests presentation. Those comics works allowed to prepare another project which is close to my heart. But, you'll have to be a liitle bit patient before discovering it on line.
