Josh Hill racing on the Alta. Very cool! Interested to see how he does. Don't think it will be a Henry/Vegas '97 situation, but first legitimate pro race I know of for the bike. Straight Rhythm doesn't really count.
Geneva should be very interesting overall with important side shows such as Josh Hill on the Alta (who has posted 10th time in qualifying practice in the 250 SX2 class) and Ricky Carmichael who will probably be involved in some sort of side-by-side 1-lap deals.
Wouldn't it actually be cool to see them face each other in this sort of match, two guys from the past but one of them is on an electric bike ? (and not named Ronnie Mac!)
Track is quite smaller than it was in Paris and seems to deteriorate more into ruts which makes it more technical and tricky, Musquin said (with a big smile as he likes these conditions).
He got the pole in the 34's (10s less than in Paris) while two weeks ago, Seely and Wilson were the fastest on the US-style track.
Brayton and Anderson do not seem to be as dangerous for Marvin as Cole and Deano were but this is only practice.
First start of an electric bike against 250F's (and a couple of Junior 2str.) will be an historical moment.
That race, as Paris, is part of the French Championship and we got approval from the French Federation to allow for this bike to gate along with the 250F's (the FFM is very opened to electric bikes, an electrical bike has been gotten a French Trials National Championship against regular bikes) .
But the bike Alta wanted to race in Paris could not be put on a plane and the plan went south.
The bike Josh is riding comes from a French customer who actually rode some enduro with it last summer and accepted to let Josh race it for this occasion.
It's been refreshed and brought by Bud Racing to Geneva, I'm sure Josh brought his suspension and a couple of parts but this is really the Alta that's on the market, not a one-off of any sort and it has hours on it.
So it is really a meaningful test for that product.
The guys Josh is racing are the guys Bowers raced two weeks ago and he could not beat them right away so it would'nt be realistic to expect Josh to beat them (he is 3 full seconds back from the pole).
But see how it goes off the start etc will be a big first.
