hello

Hello to you too!

Dani 😍😍😍😍😍

Thanks for sending pictures of what is supposed to be my first crush (?) according to my family, (he was not, but that is a story for another time).

Fun fact: Dani never wears shoes when he is at the sim. I Think I read somewhere it's to get more feeling with the pedals.

I also read somewhere that Dani did struggle with racing cars. With bikes is all instincts and he does not have them for the cars. Racing is racing and even if he doesn't have the instincts for it, I think he finished P3 in the Pro-Am category on his debut.

Hear my improbable-but-not-completely-improbable scenario for a 2024 when VR46 switches to Yamaha:

- Bez gets a seat in Ducati Pramac for 2024 (replacing Zarco)

- Luca gets a seat in Ducati Gresini for 2024 (replacing Diggia) = Lucalex racing team

- Franco gets the Yamaha VR46 seat with a factory bike (because Yamaha will find a way to send him away from the factory team)

- Celestino gets the other Yamaha VR46 seat

Will I might agree with this. I do not like it.

For starters, I never knew if Luca's seat in Avitia was sue to his ties with Vale and the VR46 Academy or because Vale bought the seat. Yes Luca is super talented and he deserved the spot and yes he is doing great in the Ducati, but I feel that Ducati is not very fond of him. So this year will be a do it break it.

I definitely can See Bezz or maybe even Álex moving to the Pramac seat, in the same way that I feel Franky's spot is not Yamaha. I feel Morbidelli will suit the Ducati and I can't explain why.

I definitly see Cele succeeding with the Yamaha I can't explain why, but I do know, so Icounter propose you to put Canet as his teammate. It will be chaos.

Now Luca, I would like to see him in the pnly bike he will never be allowed to be or at least according to Spanish media. Until now aggressive riders have gone to that bike, I would like someone as analytical as Luca try the Honda. Maybe is what they need, after all, the last rider to challenge Marc in a Honda was Dani and he was technical and smart

While I might agree with this. I do not like it so this is my alternative/ramblings about it

For starters, I never knew if Luca's seat in Avitia was sure to his ties with Vale and the VR46 Academy or because Vale bought the seat. Yes, Luca is super talented, and he deserved the spot and yes, he is doing great in the Ducati, but I feel that Ducati is not very fond of him. So this year will be a make it or break it for him. Or he gets the results or he is booted.

I definitely can See Bezz or maybe even Álex moving to the Pramac seat, it would be interesting who come on top. Or maybe both as Jorge moves to a factory team seat.

I feel Franky's spot is not Yamaha. I feel Morbidelli will suit the Ducati and I can't explain why, so what about Álex and Franky as teammates again? I can definitely see Cele succeeding with the Yamaha I can't explain why, but I do know, so I counter propose you to put Canet as his teammate. It will be chaos, and if Pablo Nieto is still managing this team, this will send him straight to madness.

Now Luca, I would like to see him in the only bike he will never be allowed to be or at least according to Spanish media. Until now, aggressive riders have gone to that bike, I would like someone as analytical as Luca, try the Honda. Maybe it's what they need, after all, the last rider to challenge Marc in a Honda was Dani, and he was technical and smart. But I do know this will never happen, so my only option to see him in an aggressive bike will be KTM, and I'm not sure if I ever want to see him with them, not even if it's in Tech3. Okay, maybe the only way I can accept it, it's if Vale switches from Ducati to KTM and Pablo is still the team manager to assure rider's safety.

I only trust 2 team managers in the paddock, Davide Brivio and Pablo Nieto, and one is not there, and I'm blaming him going to F1 for Suzuki's downfall.

[waru-chan8]

Hear my wildest theory for the future: Gresini and VR46 melt into a single team with 2 bikes, one for Álex Márquez and the other for Luca Marini. Lucalex racing team

I know it was not your intention, but this made me laugh so hard!

I want this to happen so badly, but I know this won't happen. Okay, I know this is not the most improbable things in the world, as I know that: 1) Luca will never drive for Honda 2) Luca and Marc will never be on the same team 3) Luca and Álex M. will never be in the same team.

The only way I know this is possible, it's if Nadia and Vale reach an agreement because of the lack of funding. And at the same time Nadia sells her seat to Marc, so Marc and Vale are the proud co-owners of a team, and they decide to put their brothers in it. It will be chaos and madness.

To top it all, Jorge needs to be the one coordinating the world thing with Dani

[waru-chan8]

hi, I send you an ask about this because there is more space than the text chat. I find interesting what you said about Alonso and people from Madrid being posh, and I want to ask you what you think in general about spanish riders and their origin. I explain myself: italian riders, of every class and championship, don't usually come from wealthy families. For example Vale, Dovi, Sic, Corsi, Paso, Petrucci, Iannone, Pirro, Morbidelli, but also the younger like Bassani, Nelli, Mig, Fenati, Enea, they come from 'normal' middle class or working class families, and they usually got into this sport because they come from Emilia Romagna (where it's basically the traditional sport, more popular than football), or because they have relatives that were racing riders or mechanics or had some contact with the racing world (for example Petrucci's father was a truck driver who drove trucks for some motogp teams). We don't have many who clearly come from wealthy families (of course when I talk about wealthy families I don't mean anything remotely close to f1 drivers families), but the problem now (well, in the last 10 years or more) is that it's so difficult for young riders to find a sponsor to support their careers (wssp and civ riders often point that out, and even in wsbk there are riders who hardly find some help despite their talent, like Bassani, who's son of a construction worker). Then the fact that a rider is more or less arrogant or one to brag is not particularly related to their origin, but it's probably more related to how they were educated by their families (for example, despite not being particularly rich, Iannone has always been a spoiled child, according to Pernat). I don't want to go into the political topic (if they are conservative or not etc) because usually they are private about their personal opinions, but also I suspect some of them just live in their own world (in general, especially in the past, motorcycle riders are known to be just crazyheads and out of the ordinary). So I wanted to ask you about Spanish riders, and if it's a similar situation or not. I always had the impression it's a similar situation, considering that we are the closest countries when it comes to motorcycling.

When I meant Alonso being posh, I meant in the way he dresses himself, and he talks in Spanish. Also, it's about Madrid in general being a much more expensive area/city than other part of Spain.

So if we talk about traditional areas of the sport, then it's the Mediterranean area (Catalonia, Valencia, and Balearic Islands and more recently Murcia too). Catalonia is/was because of the motorcycling industry was set in Barcelona (Derbi and Bultaco for example) and at the beginning riders either come from Barcelona or moved there. (An example Ángel Nieto, who was living in Madrid when he discovered motorcycling, moved to Barcelona because he knew it was his only way to race).

I'm not sure about how Valencia and Balearic Islands come to play, but I imagine Valencia is due to Ricardo Tormo (2 times 50cc world champion) and because small villages allowed kids to race in between villages on their fest (according to Aspar). Apart from that, Cuna de Campeones, which is a no profit and public riding school, is doing wonders (started in 1999 and it's still going). It's a public riding school where they allow kids from anywhere in the world and different backgrounds, to learn how to ride a bike. They train the kid to be the best on the track, but also outside of racing just in case hey don't make it. Some of the riders from the school: Joan Mir, Jorge Martín, Raúl Fernández and Franco Morbidelli. Same with the Balearic Islands, not sure, how it started, but having Jorge Lorenzo, Augusto Fernández and Izan Guevara is doing wonders for them.

And now how did they get into racing? Some of them because they parents were into bikes. Dani's dad had a motocross bike and Dani's first bike was a motocross one, but he did not start competing until later on a mini/pocket bike. Pol, Aleix, and Jorge Lorenzo's first bike were done by their parents, and apparently Jorge's mom was a rider too (not sure). I think Joan's dad own a rental shop in Palma de Mallorca where he had surf related stuff and bikes, but he also had a cousin who was into bikes. Pablo and Gelete were born into a family of racing. So for most of them, racing started because they had someone close to them who was into racing. Maybe some of them got into it due to the Lorenzo-Pedrosa fight or Marc's tittle because it made TV focus on motorcycling.

Backgrow. Most of them come from working class too, and basically being in the right place in the right moment. For example, Dani was out of racing even before he started because his parents could not afford to get a 125cc bike, and he owns his career to Puig. Chicho did not have the funding so he contacted with everyone he could and send tons of letters and video until Jorge got admitted to Montlau. Montlau is another racing school, but they also train mechanics (Rins also started there). Joan for example, he said he could not choose his path, he went from promotion cup to promotion cup because they did not have the money and if did not win, it could have been the end of his career. Jorge Martín had said his dad had to ask money from members of his family because they were living out of 600 euros, I'm guessing it was out of the state support money, and that he is so greatful for Aleix aids. Augusto did not follow the normal path due to the lack of money, he comes from European Stock 600. So yep middle or middle-lower class.

The one I know who did not have that problem was Tito. His family is the owner of a jewellery chain store where they sell expensive brands and custom-made jewellery. In fact, their parents did put money into the Avintia team with the sponsorship deal so Tito could race.

I was not into Alonso López until this year, but 'La Caja de DAZN' was pretty revealing. Apparently he is from the upper-middle class, as his parents had 2 residencies, both in Madrid. He was born in the Madrid city, but the rider in him was born in 'Los Molinos' where his parents had a second residency. He got into expensive sports as a hobby, golfing and ski/snowboarding and according to him, he was good, so he spends a lot of time and money. In 2021, his dad had to sponsor him for the last couple (not sure if only the last 2 or some more) races of the European Moto2 championship, but he also was sent to live in Valencia due to his erratic behaviour. Alonso did not have to worry about the money, nor is he worrying now as he could choose to say 'no' to do a second year in the European Moto2 and wait for Fenati's results. So let's say he is not wealthy, but he is in a comfortable position.

I agree that getting sponsors, is a struggling thing here too because let's remember that Tito's parents had to put money for him to stay in the championship, despite him being a Moto2 World Champion or that Alonso was kicked out of Moto3 due to the lack of funding, and he could not go into endurance for the same thing.

Feliz día de Reyes! 👑✨👑✨👑✨

Auguri Buona Epifania!

I hope you behaved and Befana brought you presents yesterday/Today!

[waru-chan8]

They definitely put Dani on a box to make him look that tall! (I know it's not a real picture but that's the first thing I thought 😂)

Oh they definitely did put Dani in a box. And he was in front of Jorge. Look where the 5x World Champions eyes are looking, they are looking down and that can only be at one place 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Thanks to bring this to me. Now I’m disappointed and I won’t get mad when ‘Cuatro Tiempos’ is realized.They have erased my favourite himbo! Where’s Checa? I need Checa!

Seriously, from the 3 current commentator, Checa is my favourite by far, he is just like us and I need him in my life . He went 1 day early to the airport for the Indonesian GP. While commenting Chantra’s great season, he invented he won a race in the wet, and when corrected he kept saying it was a wet race. Once he was in the pitlane, heard the Moto3 bikes and went ‘Oh I need to be in the commentary area’ and then procede to keep talking with Aspar or with Sito or someone else. He arribe 10 minutes late, told the story and he was proud of it.

After this mini ranting, this is just what I expected, DAZN talking about the MotoGP/500cc history with some of the Spain most important riders. But it makes me mad because Checa was in the promo. And when it was presented (in Valencia post race programme), Checa said he didn’t know he was supposed to be doing it. (Izaskun made fun of him because of that) DAZN what have you done to my himbo?

[waru-chan8]

Speaking of carbon copies

Luca Marini = his mother Stefania Palma

Luca looks a lot like his mum, so it's undoubtable to whom he is related.

Might I note, that he looked more like here when she was younger? I was also a cute and those blue eyes shone a lot more when he was a kid.

Thanks for sending m those adorable photos
