Brad Pitt can move aside. There is a 11-member Indian contingent flying out to the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans in France. The Skate Academy, led by coach Ajay Shivlani, will participate in the 24H Rollers competition across the 4.185 km circuit this Saturday. “It is a replica of the MotoGP track, and we will skate round it over 24 hours,” shared Shivlani, who will also be gearing up with the others, who departed yesterday night for France. With the team including members below the age of 18, the seniors will have to take on the night shift. “It is a challenge, but we are the first team from India to participate. It might just be the exposure the sport needs,” Shivlani signed off.
