Dunlop Announces Humble Heroes
Project
D
unlop wants to honor
Humble Heroes by allowing
you to nominate a healthcare
worker or first responder who
went above and beyond during
the pandemic and will reward
one individual with a new 2020
Harley-Davidson XL1200 Sport-
ster Roadster.
"Nobody has seen a crisis
with the global effects of Co-
vid-19 before, and hopefully no-
body ever will again," said Mike
Buckley, Senior VP, Sales and Marketing,
Dunlop Motorcycle Tires. "Hard to imagine
how much worse this could have been
without the health care heroes and first
responders on the front lines every day and
night. The Humble Heroes Project is
our way of giving a little back and say-
ing thanks for all you have done."

"The Island Of Peter Pan"
T
he VR46 Academy provides training facilities, bikes to ride
on, and dietary advice. Its professional arm extends to lan-
guage lessons, track days at Grand Prix venues, and sit downs
with a nine-time world champion. "Pecco" Bagnaia once de-
scribed it as "the island of Peter Pan."
The benefits of the VR46 Academy couldn't have been any
clearer on Sunday, September 13, at the Misano MotoGP with
Academy riders filling the top two spots in MotoGP and Moto2.
So, what makes it work? "The key has been that the greatest rider
ever decided to make an environment to make youngsters grow up.
This is the reason why we are seeing so many young, strong riders;
almost all of them come from the academy," said Misano winner
Franco Morbidelli. "[Rossi] has many facilities to live in, to work in,
in order to be a good rider, in order to be a good professional and a
good athlete. He just basically has put his know-how and his facili-
ties at our service. So, it's a really noble act from him."
