He might not have the international name recognition of John McGuinness, Michael Dunlop, or Peter Hickman, but this onboard footage with Swiss road racer Lukas Maurer is more than enough to make your hair (all of it, everywhere) stand on end. To make matters even better, the sound is also top-notch; you can really hear the bike screaming full-throatedly as he tears around the Macau Grand Prix's infamous street circuit in 2025.
You could, at first, be forgiven for thinking you're looking at a video game, except you aren't. You're watching an extremely talented real-life racer flow his way through, for the entirety of the 29 minutes and 59.032 seconds that it took him to complete all 12 laps of this year's race.
Where did Maurer finish? After qualifying and starting the race in ninth place, Maurer successfully managed to climb his way forward to eventually finish in fifth place. That's an especially impressive feat, given the narrowness of this circuit, the talent of the competitors who participate each year, and of course how difficult those two things make it to pass them.
