Legendary four-time World...
Legendary four-time World 500cc Grand Prix champion Eddie Lawson rarely grants interviews, so this creative promotional video series by Yamaha Motor Corp USA is definitely a treat.
Yamaha Motor Corporation USA once again gets creative in bringing two superstar Yamaha champions from different eras together for the first time on video. Reigning World Superbike Champion (and now MotoGP rising star) Ben Spies and legendary four-time World 500cc Grand Prix champion Eddie Lawson meet for the first time and talk about various topics including racing technology, training, bike setup, team/manufacturer support, racing in general, and most importantly, what it takes to be a world champion.
This fairly insightful video provides an interesting glimpse into the psyche and thinking of a legend, and one whom many consider to be a legend in the making. As you’d expect, the video ends up showing many similarities between Spies and Lawson in their approach to what it takes to consistently win and be a champion on the world championship stage. As usual with Yamaha, however, there’s also touches of humor along the way to lighten things up.
