Michelin Thunderdrome is back!
Gardner, Hodgson and Cooper head line-up for the Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show
The celebrity-packed, all-action Thunderdrome makes its comeback at the Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show from February 15-17. The Michelin Thunderdrome is a blur of sliding bikes and star riders battling it out over three days of exciting elbow-to-elbow race action. Inspired by the spectacular allwooden boardtrack race circuits of the early 1900s, the Michelin Thunderdrome features a steep wooden berm enabling riders to slingshot high around the turn and take the bend at breathtaking speed. The opposite end of the course is kept flat, letting the riders back their machines into the turn and then power-slide out, locking their handlebars as they go. The result should be incident-packed racing action.
The 1987 500cc world champion Wayne Gardner heads the star line-up and is joined by 2003 World Superbike champion Neil Hodgson plus BSB rider Richard Cooper who finished this year’s series with a win at the final round at Brands. More BSB riders are lined up to compete in the 2019 Thunderdrome arena; watch this space for more announcements soon.
