Motocross legend Jeremy McGrath tests Jonathan Rea’s Kawasaki!
After the Round at Laguna Seca, the former Motocross and Supercross star experienced the thrill of WorldSBK riders!
There were a lot of stars at the Geico US Round but the fun didn’t end on Sunday afternoon. One of the most successful American riders in motocross and supercross, Jeremy McGrath, was on track at Laguna Seca on Monday with the Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK bike.
After winning the title of “King of Supercorss” with his successes in the 90s, the Californian driver had the honor of becoming the first rookie to win the 250cc AMA Supercross title in 1993, the one that was only the first of seven, he won every year from that moment on, except for 1997, until 2000. McGrath won two FIM SX World Championships but this time he decided to change the tracks with asphalt.
Taking to the track with the bike that is dominating the general classification, the Kawasaki ZX-10RR, McGrath has experienced a new motorcycle experience in the United States.
Speaking of this new adventure, the 47-year-old declared: “Driving this bike was like making a dream come true. I’m a huge fan and a fan of these guys, Jonathan and I have been friends for some time. We’ve been thinking about doing a bike swap since he drove a motocross bike with me for about a couple of years. I tried to learn the track and the bike but it wasn’t easy to learn everything in such a short time, I wanted to spend all day on the track! ”
It was not all that easy given that McGrath slipped into pitlane but fortunately without any consequences. Along with him on the track there was also Ben Spies, world champion of the FIM World Superbike Championship in 2009.
“I drove with Ben Spies and helped me a lot to get references. Now I can check this track off my to-do list. After traveling the Corkscrew I had the feeling of doing motocross, it was really fun! I would have been out even more time and I wanted to try to go even faster, in any case I loved this day! ”
