Chapter IV: vamos en españa!

2021... Was a year where I trained like 4 times in the year, with my 100% race SV 650...

It was not the year I expected having one crash due to someone ramming into me while braking.

A lot of pressure from the military as well at that time, I could only make one race in September & I couldn't do anything at all, I was runing a stock bike, and haven't trained at all.

I finally ended this year with a horific road crash that almost took my life & saw me broke my qrist very badly...

With a year of Disappointment & bad choices because i listened to my friends and not to what I wanted, I decided to put an end to all of this "fake" show...

In 2022 I left the army to go to Spain, with one goal...get into professional racing (yeah, I know...at 27 it sounds completly insane right?)

But I am a crazy person so that kinda makes up for it. So that's it I guess

May 2022, Marseille Airport, France

The start of 2022 wasn't that smooth at all. I really forgot my point when I arrived in Barcelona & started "enjoying" the nightlife & basically doing stupid stuffs that a young student would do, thanks to that I met some amazing people, some other people disappointed me, I lost some friends as well...but this is part of life.

The thing that most impacted me was that I also lost my job at MotoGP, I had to chose between Racing & working as a Social Media guy at Dorna. The choice was pretty easy...after all the mistakes I have done arriving in Spain I got back on track, found an amazing job that actually let's me do my racing "career" as I wish.

In the process I had to make some sacrifices but that was not new to me. So I stopped drinking alcohol & going out, I had to cut some friends that were not following me anymore, some left because they couldn't bare my choices.

Some great people came into my life because I chosed to invest myself 100% into racing, being part of this racing School "Riders Formation"... taught me a lot & still teaches me amazing stuffs, not only in racing but it helps me open myself again...but as my real self.

November 2022, Circuito de Juneda, España

Escuela de moto Riders Formation

everything was not according to the original plan but somehow better than I would have ever imagined, The lesson I learned from my accident was that from darkness...light rises & that is a necessity, Experiencing dead that close made me realize that I have lived enough for othe people & it was time to live my life as i want it & actually living my dream & not just dreaming it.

So here I am...The real story starts now in 2023
