Road racing is the most beautiful of all kind of motorsport!
At least that is what we at ACM think, and the same is probably true of most people who are hooked on this great sport that is performed at high speed on paved courses. The rider shall not only handle the engine forces and the friction of the tires against the asphalt, equally important are the abilities for balance, physical strength and endurance, and not least the ability to handle the sum of all this with the same softness as a cat.
