'We are focused on giving the talented Indian children an opportunity'
Bike India|September 2022
The FIM MiniGP championship is the best way for children to get a ticket to race in the premier classes of motorcycle racing. By providing evenly matched Ohvale motorcycles to race on, Marco Rosetto's vision is probably just what Indian motorcycle racing needs at the moment. Excerpts from an interview Interviewed
 Joshua Varghese 
'We are focused on giving the talented Indian children an opportunity'

Why did you choose India for the MiniGP project?

→For 10 years I have been coming to India and I firmly believe that there is a lot of talent here. This opportunity did not exist before, so it was a beautiful window to enter. I personally want to give something back to India.

How has the response been so far to the MiniGP championship?

→The response has been amazing and I did not expect this in the short time that we started this. We may have started in November 2021, but there are three years of work behind it. The turnout was great. There were more than 50 kids, of whom we have chosen 15 who will be the most adequate for this championship.

Floats Like a Butterfly, Stings Like a Hornet

We usually begin a test report of new motorcycle with a summary of its exciting technical updates and innovations, but the outstanding revelation in respect of the all-new Honda CB1000 Hornet SP is not its stunning, sweetly re-tuned 2017 Fireblade engine or its sumptuous TTX36 Öhlins shock or even its Brembo Stylema stoppers. No, it is its price
