What are the main players in the motorcycle world doing during the lockdown linked to the Covid-19 pandemic? Marc Troussard, motorcycle road rally driver and ten times French champion, spoke to Journal moto du Net.

MNC: Where are you confined ?

Marc Troussard : At home with my partner Nathalie, my two cats and my dog ​​and my sheep. Here it is the countryside, in addition to the Landes, and one of the most important things that keep us going is mutual aid between neighbors: suddenly I’ll go shopping and I’ll bring you back what you want. need, suddenly it’s you who does the shopping for two "households". I also salute the perseverance of the small producers in the area, who take orders over the internet and deliver the food to you at various "relay points" near you. We will survive !

MNC: How are your days going? ?

Mr. T. : Slow motion … I get up around 9 am, 9:30 am and I feed my menagerie, the sheep first so that they stop yelling because they want their dose of alfalfa pellets. Then have breakfast in front of the computer and the TV for a good hour, then walk around the garage by making a quick inventory of all the work I have to do on my motorcycle, my kid’s 50 or other work . Then comes the time for the midday meal (rather around 1 p.m., 1:30 p.m.). Then crisis of laziness, again in front of the computer and the TV until after 3 p.m., another little tour in the garage for a light DIY or an outing (with derogatory certificate) to go shopping for basic necessities (aperitif, cigarettes and some food) every two or three days. At 7 p.m .: aperitif then meal and TV (sometimes with a DVD of old films) until 11 p.m. or midnight then sleep.

MNC: What do you miss the most ?

Mr. T. : What I miss most is going for a walk with my son, preferably on a motorcycle. The least is to go to work. I love him and I’m proud of him, but I don’t miss him.

MNC: Are you afraid ?

Mr. T. : Yes I’m scared, scared of getting tough and staying limp as I have become with this irreversible confinement…

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

Mr. T. : A book, "Your second life begins when you understand that you only have one", a novel by Raphaelle Giordano that would make any suicidal person want to live again who thinks they have nothing more to hope for. A movie, the last DVD that I watched and that I really liked: "In enemy territory", with Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman. I like modern war movies (but only war movies!) Or else there is also "American sniper", a giant this one! No series, but a record: an old heavy metal 33 rpm vinyl like Iron Maiden, ACDC, etc. Excellent whatever the disc !

MNC: Your Favorite Motorcycle Video ?

Mr. T. : The, or a .

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

Mr. T. : I will take my son in my arms (I have not seen him since the start of the confinement) and we will leave directly on the small roads and paths of the Landes, him on his 50 Derbi that I am preparing as a racing beast and me on my 750 Super Tenere! Take a look at the front brake that I adapted on his Derbi instead of the single piston with its lousy 2 cm2 pads: a Nissin double piston caliper of 426 YZ from 2001 !
