What they say
Kenny Foray, ERC-BMW Motorrad Endurance rider
It’s a fresh challenge, and I’m proud to be part of this new MotoGP-linked series. We will be the pioneers, all using the same bike and the same tyres.

It’s an innovative project. I know all the people on the Marc VDS team, and I know they’ll be as fired up as I am about taking on this new challenge.
