Sylvain Guintoli - can I catch the Moto GP test rider?

After replacing the broken engine on my BMW race bike, I took it to a track day at Donington Park for a shakedown - and who should I bump into, but my old mate Sylvain Guintoli!
The Suzuki Moto GP test rider and World Superbike Champion was there testing a special Hayabusa which has been released celebrating his efforts winning the 2021 World Endurance Championship for Suzuki, so when he took it for some hot laps, I thought I'd see if I could catch him.

    He did well on a stock Busa on road tires TBF it's a heavy bike 260kg. Don't think it would be that close on similar bikes but he is a hell of a rider

    If he was on his GSXR he would have destroyed me! He isn’t a Moto GP test rider because of his accent! Lol To do 1:39’s on a 260kg Busa with Road tyres is crazy! I can do 35’s on my bike….he would be 32/33’s!

    Every time I see footage of Donington, all I can think of is Schwantz passing Rainey into The Old Hairpin and then absolutely doing him on the brakes at Melbourne.......seriously, it looked like he was passing me, not a 3x. Don't know if they both happened at same race. The Melbourne sexual assault was 91 though.
