“We don’t use usually carry the riders’ gear because the truck will head back to Austria after a race and most of them are based around Belgium. We carry two sets of wheels each – so six – plus the spare bike so each rider has four sets. The bikes are loaded fully built: they leave the factory race-ready, which is very handy because you don’t want to pull them apart to load them up. We fit four race bikes plus our pit bike and the toolboxes go into the corner. “At the moment it has a lot of Jeffrey’s stuff in it! All the spare wheels are racked here. “This is the bike bay or the garage,” Ryan says. Moving out and further along the truck we reach the garage section. The flooring is piled up and fills the workshop space and with back-to-back races with a lot of distance, like Italy to Portugal, then two extra bikes will also squeeze in.” That space will also house all the banners, backdrops and poles for the awning. “There is an upstairs compartment with a rack where we put spare plastics, fuel tanks, sub-frames and around four-five drums of race fuel. ![]() We’ll have three spare ones for the 250 and two for the 450 and that’s enough because you also have the spare bike there ready.” The cupboard on the walls will fit spare silencers and exhausts. “We have drawers for engine tools, specialty tools and spares like sprockets: we basically carry everything to be able to build another bike from the ground up. Normally we are covered but if there is an emergency then we can get something couriered or we jump in the sprinter van and get back to the workshop.” For the 450 we carry two and for the two 250 bikes we carry four which is a lot but when the truck is on the road it is good to have that extra cover. “This is probably the most expensive cupboard! It has all the spare engines. “Each mechanic has a set of tools and we have some special equipment to be basically able to do anything that we need to back at base.” “This is where we store everything we need for a weekend of racing, and we keep it as well-stocked and loaded as possible because it can be on the road for some time and perhaps doesn’t return to HQ in Austria between the races,” Ryan says. “It’s quite new – just three seasons – so it is quite modern and some of the designs that worked well from the previous truck were incorporated into this one,” the Australian says of the setup.įirst we journey into the main artery of the truck: the workshop space at the back. Ryan managed to give us a small tour of what, where and how the factory team do their work at race circuits and on the road.
