Hugo van den Berg - Too big for toys


When you're taller than 1,70 meters in 125cc racing, you're already one of the giants among dwarfs. But when you're 1,86 m (6'1'') like Dutchman Hugo van den Berg, you tower above pretty much everyone in the MotoGP paddock and on a tiny toy like the 125cc bikes, this is not exactly a good thing. Therefore Hugo will probably ride in the FIM Superstock class this season where the bigger machinery should hopefully fit his height much better. And we do hope we can still see him race as it would be a shame to miss this tasty tidbit. Because sometimes bigger IS actually better.
