Chapter V: This is it

So! Here we are...one month & a half away from my first race.
So much happened within this first week of March. I picked up my Official KTM Bike on the 2nd.

2 March 2023, Valencia, Picking up the bike

It was a nostalgic moment as I had a nice trip with Sergio's Father, Jorge, & I actually talked very well in Spanish, speaking about the fact that I was already 27 & I was still chasing this dream of racing.

I was telling about how it's my second chance & lasy chance to live my dream, I mean Having a cool job in Tech, racing motorcycle. This is all superb! Sure I have to work double in everything, My job, my sport, my physical training...but this is maintain a professional environment.

Very few people understand it & say we are degenerate, kid or selfish people...But When Jorge was telling that we was a hell lot happy to drive young talents to get there bike, see them train, help them.

Sure, Every over old man just talks about politics in bars & getting drunk & that's just their day...

But being able to explain myself, my dreams, goals & ambitions to people that actually understands...it just makes me feel alive!
It can be 16 or 17 years old Bella who is just a rocket on that R6!
Or young Valentin Crazy drifting on pitbikes & winning races in Pre-moto3 in the Spanish Championship.
Even Alex the ukranian young rookie.

I made an amazing environment there, at this school who really gave me an opportunity of living something extraordinary. Everyday I learn from these kids, or the best coach Ever Sergio & even his father.
I have the support of an amazing mechanic in France & also a great friend who just joined the adventure as a photographer...

All this just gives everything...because they believe in me, they believed in me when I was at my most lowest, vulnerable & sad time. All these people, even some followers that really believe in me, it generates that will, that voice that says: "let's go get it! let's do it! Not just for you but for a far greater cause!"

& Then happened my first date with this KTM

4 March 2023, Circuito de Calafat , RC390 first test

I still have no words to describe the day...It was just going chill discovering the track & the bike, the tyres etc...

Everything felt almost perfect, just a few adjustments to be done & hop. But the bike...I could feel my heart beating again, like I was able to love again after all these years of being heartless & struggling with feelings.

I could end the day with a similar start of what I did in Thailand...which was 10 years ago, without being completely tired, I was so happy that Everything else didn't matter anymore.

& For the first time...I felt it, shortly but i did, that moment when you are one with the bike.
I now believe in Myself again 100% & I have clear goals set ahead! 

Also seeing Bella riding that fast, agressive but at the same time smooth made me feel like, ok I want to be fast like that & I will try everything to get there.

I had the chance to see Sergio ride too, Which also gave me a nice boost!

Now I can sleep relaxed...because I know what my life is about 😌
