Few days are as special in the World Cup as back to school. Many are those who dream a few hours after the start of the championship with reaching podiums, victories and, in some cases, even the title. The day has been as usual on the first day of Qatar, with the briefing coach of each category and family photos on the finish line. Camaraderie has been seen between the teammates on the grid before the battle, but also who gets along more with whom…
More alone than one o’clock was the newcomer Darryn Binder, whose disputed direct jump from Moto3 to MotoGP has not yet generated relationships, beyond the very cordial one he has with his brother Brad, the one from KTM. The South Africans are not the only brothers on the grill, because the Espargaró continue one more year sharing category. Pol listened to Aleix in an interview before commenting with AS on some of the latest statements that came to light, aware that supposedly in the Repsol-Honda He is one of the most coveted, if not the most, in the interesting transfer market this year. Meanwhile, he reaffirms what he said in his recent interview with this newspaper: “Whoever wants my bike will have to run in front of me, or at least that’s how it should be.”
It has been entertaining to watch the football chat held between Joan Mir and Maverick Vinales sitting on the wall, before taking the family photo. They interrupted her for a moment when he came over to greet them Carmelo Ezpeleta, who thanked them for spending another year contributing to this great show that is MotoGP. Both Suzuki and Aprilia showed their admiration for Cristiano and Messi, whom they continue to consider a danger to any rival.
Another interesting detail has been seeing how well the MotoGP suit suits Jorge Martín. Last year he already showed that he was not just any debutant and it shows in the confidence that he transmits that this year he is going for a note. The one who also looked very relaxed was Álex Márquez, always close to his brother Marc, who sat alone for a while with his back against the wall. He chatted informally with AS at that time, and when it was time to get up he held out his hand and asked us to pull him. He has done it by extending his right arm and, after helping him up, we have joked about how good that arm seems to be, because we have happily pulled it, something unthinkable last year, when that right arm was untouchable.
Raul Fernandez It has been released on the edge of the queen class already Alex Rins It seems that fatherhood has been wonderful for him, because he looks very serene and self-confident. All this on a day back to school in which he was not present for the first time Valentino Rossi, who is already retired and is currently training in Misano on the four wheels of his competition Audi. The #46 will be missed, but MotoGP continues on.
