Of those that stays with you. Even though the weather was unpredictable this year, the sinuous curves of this circuit showed all the qualities to make you love it.\u00a0<strong>It\u2019s true, when you are in love you only see the good sides and for us Jerez will always be like a first love, an old flame that never fades.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For instance, Casey, after many years racing on this circuit finally managed to enjoy himself. He showed that he still has to improve, but also that he has what it takes to do it. Leo, on the other hand, needs to stop being in catch-up mode. Races are not built on Sunday, but from the first Friday session. If you always start behind, sooner or later the bill comes.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the paddock, for the first time, all the teams had a box, no one was in a tent. I can\u2019t tell you whether it was for their logistical needs or not. The point is that, at a time when Moto2 and Moto3 are starting to be annoying and there is a talk of a new era, of a paddock separated from MotoGP, this weekend was good.\u00a0<strong>Good because it reminded the world that, in the history of motorcycles\u2026 we are there too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The race started badly,<\/strong>\u00a0very badly: Leo\u2019s bike got stuck on the grid. It was a technical problem, parts have already been sent back to Honda and we\u2019ll see who will have to take responsibility. When these things happen it\u2019s always disappointing, everyone looks at each other, someone tries to explain, someone to justify\u2026everyone does their own thinking. But the truth is simple: Leo didn\u2019t collect race kilometres. And I\u2019m not talking about results\u2026 I\u2019m talking about being there, in the race, lap after lap.\u00a0<strong>Because racing is experience and the track is the best school there is.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Casey, on his side, has to learn to be tougher,<\/strong>\u00a0he fought throughout the race bouncing between 11th and 12th position\u2026beginners all have the same problem, they don\u2019t understand that the race is long and it is pointless to keep overtaking each other, especially at the beginning. The tyres wear out quickly and the leading group gets away.<\/p>\n<p>We made an important debut:\u00a0<strong>the hospitality with Martina and Lorenzo. This year we will manage it entirely ourselves.\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019m really proud of it, because everything went how it was supposed to.<\/p>\n<p>Right after the race in Jerez, we also had two days of testing. And there it became clear that Leo\u2019s problem during the race was not a coincidence: the new engine did the same thing again. We will now wait for instructions from the factory.<\/p>\n<p>We are only telling this today, a few days later, because of the many commitments, including our\u00a0<strong>traditional and always exciting \u201cMotoincontro del Sic\u201d in Misano, one of those moments you never get used to.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And now, ladies and gentleman, a moment of attention. We have more good news, the kind that goes straight to the heart.<br \/>\n<strong>At Sic58 a new entry is on the way:<\/strong>\u00a0Vanessa, Marco Grana\u2019s girlfriend is expecting a baby boy.<br \/>\nWell, we are already waiting for him. A wrench in one hand and a helmet in the other\u2026the talent, the kind you can\u2019t buy, is already in the house\u2026Grana has always been a fast one, even now that he\u2019s a bit \u201colder\u201d.<br \/>\nWhether he chooses two or four wheels does not change much. We\u2019ll be there. R<strong>eady to be woken up by a roaring engine\u2026or by that smell of braking that fills your nose and reminds you, without any need for explanation, why we are still here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>-PaoloSic58-<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the time Sic made us dream, and it happened twice on this circuit, Jerez has never been a just<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":18775,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
