Monster Energy put together retired F1 driver Michael Schumacher, Prodigy’s frontman Keith Flint (and avid rider and sometimes racer), TT legend John McGuinness, and retired GP rider Randy Mamola, and Moto2 rider Pol Espargaró at the Paul Ricard circuit, filming a promotional video for the energy drink company, that hopefully we’ll see very soon.
This odd quintet lapped the French circuit, with the F1 champion on a Ducati Panigale, Espargarò on his Pons Kalex machine, McGuinness on his Honda, Mamola on a Yamaha Superbike and Flint on a Suzuki.
Schumacher took up bike racing as a hobby and even took part in the KTM Super Duke Trophy in Italy, the 8 hour endurance race at Oschersleben, and also rode in 3 IDM Superbike races before crashing at Cartegana during a test which left him with a neck injury said, “Coming here today I felt so proud to be able to turn my hand at riding a bike with guys I really admire.
I can’t begin to explain how much fun it was to ride the track with the likes of John, Randy, Keith and watching Pol Espargaro’s huge talent.
” While 19-time TT winner McGuinness said, “Riding with Michael was so good.
What he’s achieved on four wheels makes him the Godfather of motorsport.
I wasn’t expecting him to be anything less, but he’s fast! You can see his enthusiasm for motorcycles and it was a massive pleasure to spend the day with him.
” “Today I was truly able to use the word ‘legend’ to describe the company I was keeping; both from four and two wheels.
As I pulled out of the pit lane I mentally pinched myself as I followed out Randy Mamola, Michael Schumacher and a true gladiator in John McGuinness.
That Espargaro kid is a bit of a handful too isn’t he?” said Flint about his illustrious track mates.
