MNC: How are your days going? ?

P. A. : I have an office outside our house, which allows me to be really focused on my work. The day always begins with contacts with my colleagues from Europe and France. We work on several themes in working groups and we follow these projects throughout the day. I also keep close contact with the dealers, including in groups as well. In these complicated times when we have little vision for the future, our participatory strategy makes even more sense. On the other hand, I try to reserve a little more time than usual for my family and especially for tidying up! We set out with my partner to tidy up our three garages which are full of 25 years of competitions in jet-ski, quad and motorcycle. It’s a huge job that allows us to experience certain emotions … The pride and the chance to have experienced incredible things around common passions.

MNC: What do you miss the most? The least ?

P. A. : What I miss the most would be a real road trip, but also our many events and particularly our which is an incredible concept and rich in meetings. What I miss the least are unhealthy or self-interested relationships. I find that this crisis puts humanity and sincerity at the heart of everything. Hope it lasts…

MNC: What are you afraid of ?

P. A. : Very sincerely, the one who says not to be afraid is not sincere. We are preparing a leap into the void without mastering the strength of the elastic! Our biggest concern is the ability of our dealers to swallow this crisis and know where the motorcycle market will be in six months … This is why the period is very active, because we are writing all the possible scenarios in order to to be prepared for all situations. Polaris is a very strong group, but it’s not a thunderstorm, it’s a storm and we don’t control the wind speed.

MNC: A book, a film, a series, a record to recommend ?

P. A. : The book will be "Indian Motos" published by E.T.A.I. written by a friend, Pascal Szymezak. It is arguably one of the most comprehensive books on our brand. The film will be "" starring Anthony Hopkins, who tells the incredible story of a 1920’s at over 295 km / h. This is a movie for all motorcycle enthusiasts and it is also an amazing life lesson.

MNC: Your Favorite Motorcycle Video ?

P. A. : I am always so impressed by the videos of the road races and particularly the Isle of Man of course. Such a level of mastery and risk-taking remains a mystery for me … I also love to immerse myself in the US super cross of the 90s, because it was also so new and so telegenic.

MNC: The first thing you will do at the end of the lockdown ?

P. A. : Immediately hear from our network and manage the recovery with them in a responsible manner.
