The most seasoned MotoGP rider.
Where is the line that separates determination of sporting ambition from excessive aggressiveness when battling a rival on the track? Ugh, this is a difficult issue that not only viscerally divides fans, but also creates tension and confrontations between drivers. Especially in the safety commissions held every Friday afternoon of the GP, which in MotoGP is equivalent to the locker room in football. That’s where the pilots say ‘their stuff’ to each other’s faces. But who is considered the bravest of them?…Well, we went to ask them. We first had to explain ‘hardcore’ to most of them, and when they understood the term, they smiled and shrugged…”Well, besides him, who else?”… And so the list of pilots of MotoGP ‘tough. blow’. It was led by Marc Márquez, of course, and also included Franco Morbidelli, Brad Binder and Marco Bezzecchi. Joan Mir is on the line…”Let’s just say that Joan is a fighter,” one of her colleagues told us after thinking about it for a while.
PS: meaning of ‘warrior’: 1. adj. Exercised in war. • 2. adj. Experienced in any competitive activity.• 3. adj. Bold or aggressive.
“Let’s say I’m ‘a little’ worried,” Massimo Rivola.
The shock wave generated by Ducati’s decision to include Marc Márquez in the Ducati factory team has completely reached Aprilia, both for good and not so good. On the positive side is the arrival at the Noale factory of Jorge Martín and Marco Bezzecchi, second and third in the World Cup last year. On the other side of the scale is the mass exodus of a good part of the structure that led Aprilia to become the most credible alternative to the brutal dominance that Ducati exercises in MotoGP. And that, given the all-or-nothing bet for 2025, doesn’t seem like the best fit. For the next year, Aprilia lost three of the four riders now racing their motorcycles. And not only that, but three will go to the competition: Aleix Espargaró as a test driver at Honda; Maverick Viñales on KTM; and Miguel Oliveira will go to Yamaha. And in addition, the technicians of the first two will accompany their pilots. That is, a lot of experience comes out, when Rivola in 2025 will bet his prestige on a card, Jorge Martín. “No, it’s not the ideal situation, but I’m not too worried; Let’s just say I’m a bit worried,” the former Ferrari sports manager in F1 told us.
Attention! The Japanese have woken up from their narcolepsy!
25 people, 10 of them from Japan, along with 6 engineers from the European headquarters, including Andrea Dovizioso, were present at the Yamaha test conducted just a few days before the start of the United Kingdom GP. A display showing that the COVID syndrome that anesthetized Japanese manufacturers for five years is behind us; and now they decide to go on the attack, And that’s not good news for the builders of Europe. Because Ducati, or Aprilia, or KTM don’t manage the financial resources that Yamaha and Honda put on the table. Resources that today serve as clones of the work processes that gave the Europeans an advantage. This does not mean that their current situation will change in two days, but the Japanese have woken up from their narcolepsy… The Europeans had better start digging trenches.
