The Superprestigio dirt track event in Barcelona will be held tomorrow (you can see live streaming coverage on www.fanschoice.tv beginning at 9:00 a.m. Pacific time). This is now an annual, world class event revived last year by inviting stars from different disciplines to race 450 cc single-cylinder bikes on the extremely tight 200 meter Barcelona track. If you don’t think this event is star-studded, take a look at the entry lists for the two main classes below. How about Marc Marquez, every current GP champ and Troy Bayliss, for starters, battling in the Superprestigio class with the top four headed to the main event? The main event will also receive the top four finishers from the Open class, which includes the last two AMA Grand National champions, Brad Baker (who won the Superprestigo Main last year) and Jared Mees, along with tiny Shayna Texter (as always, the only female competing). Other Open class participants include the current Supermoto World champion, as well as a multi-time Enduro World Champ.

The first video below includes highlights of last year’s event, followed by a video taken just yesterday featuring practice for tomorrow’s event.
