No worries!

ANYONE who was concerned that the bikes would not be back from America in time for this weekend's French GP need not have worried the crates were waiting for the teams when they arrived at St Jean D'Angely on Thursday.
Past experience of inter-continental freight transfer has been stressful, but even with the short week' California is nine-hours behind mainland Europe and means that a day is effectively lost on the return flight presented no problem for Youthstream's agents, Sport Events Logistics, who collected the crates, packed by 8pm on race day, from Glen Helen and delivered them safe and sound to the track near the French Atlantic coast by Thursday morning.
In the vast majority of cases the bikes were only used as the spare, mechanics giving them a quick refurbish. The race bikes for round seven of the series had been prepped before departure for the USA last week and were already sitting in the race transporters.
