27 juin 2008 à 16h58 #655935L’avis de Steve sur la question, interrogé par Geoff Meyer, lui-même fort peu objectif (..) à ce sujet…
« Q: Steve, you must have been happy with your form in America. How did those first two Nationals go for you?
Boniface: The first two races at the Nationals was good for me. I got 12th overall in Glen Helen and sixth overall in Hangtown. It was two good races. I switched from the Lite class to the 450cc class and as a private rider it gave me more of a chance to do well. On the 450 it isn’t as hard to make the bike fast as with a 250c 4-stroke. It seems to suit me pretty good.
Q: Why after such good results in America did you decide to come to europe and do the Grand Prix of France?
Boniface: Two months before the 2008 season started I had chosen to do the French Grand Prix. I made a deal with Yves Demaria to ride his bike and stuff. When I was in California those first two rounds of the Nationals were close to my home, so it was easy to get to. The plan was always to do the French GP, and as soon as the second round of the Nationals was done I flew back to France. I started training for the French Grand Prix. It meant I would miss two races in America, but that was okay. I am totally privateer in America, and I went to the races with my pick-up truck. The first two were okay, because they were close to my home, but if I wanted to do more of the Nationals I needed to find some type of support.
Q: At this moment you are doing well in europe. Will you return to America?
Boniface: I don’t know where I will stay. I will see what happens. It is all a question of opportunity. Maybe I can stay in europe and maybe I go back to America. Like I said, my plan at the start of the outdoor season was to just do Glen Helen, Hangtown and the French GP.
Q: Are you surprised by your form this year. What did you expect in France?
Boniface: There is no reason why it wouldn’t go good at the Grands Prix. I know the circuits in europe are different. The French Grand Prix circuit was hard-pack and I am not really used to that. I mean we have a lot of practise at the Grand Prix and plenty of time to get used to the track. I was happy with my times, new bike, new track, new riders. It will take a little while to get used to everything.
Q: You have raced both AMA and FIM events this year, can you give an insight on which riders are quicker, is that possible to tell?
Boniface: I always said it is hard to compare a Grand Prix rider and a AMA National rider. Both are really fast, it is just so different with bikes, tracks, everything. You can’t compare if a ride in America races in europe and visa versa, it is so different. I mean if a US guy comes and does one race in europe, you can’t compare that and the same for a Grand Prix rider to race one race in America, it is really difficult to see from just one or even two races. »

29 juin 2008 à 11h20 #655945Hamblin 7, Collier 8 et Jeff Alessi 10 en 450…
P…, ça se traîne grave en outdoor US!
;-))))))))
Tiens, par ailleurs, juste un autre exercice idiot et arbitraire…
Si on prend le meilleur temps au tour dans la première manche du 1er et du 10e du GP à St Jean (Pourcel et Priem), il y a moins d’une seconde d’écart.
Si on prend les mêmes temps pour Stewart et Jeff Alessi, 1er et 10e à Thunder Valley, il y a…plus de 7 secondes!
Même si St-Jean n’est guère sélectif, on ne prend pas de gros risques en disant que le pack du Mondial est d’un niveau nettement plus homogène… D’où la saison passionnante à laquelle on assiste.
