BARCELONA-CATALONIA RACETRACK
How are you?
In pain.
- On the left or right?
- On the right.
When I tilt my head.
When I turn it, it's okay.
It's when I tilt my head.
That hurts.
- On the left side?
- Yes.
- What are you doing?
- I'm pressing.
- You almost dislocated it.
- I felt that.
I had a hard time at Montmeló.
I struggled all weekend.
I didn't have the right pace.
I couldn't do it.
I was convinced
that Márquez would come back,
perform really well and win everything.
But I was wrong.
When you take risks, you can fall.
I've learned to live with doubts
about my shoulder and my arm.
That's all they talk about.
"Arm, arm, arm."
In the box,
they know they mustn't talk about it
unless I mention it.
Some people spare themselves.
Others bury their head in the sand.
I was struggling a lot to get the grip.
One more.
Alright, but I can't lift my arm.
I know, but you get me.
Do you think I'm Superman?
As it happens, Marc knows
that he hasn't recovered completely.
But his goal is to win.
- How's it going?
- Good, I'm a bit tired.
I'd like to look after
my scar
and also...
- Get you ready for Sachsenring.
- Yes.
That's what I thought. Right.
- Legs, quadriceps and hamstrings?
- Yes.
In Sachsenring,
will you ride with or without a suit?
Very funny!
If you want, you can get
on the back and give me a massage.
My god...
At Sachsenring, it's this arm
that will be impacted the most.
It's 30 laps.
This is where I'll see
whether I'm really fast,
whether I haven't lost it all on a bike.
Because I'm only restricted
in right turns.
And there are only three on this circuit.
So my arm shouldn't be an obstacle.
- How are you?
- Better, much better.
We don't have any bikes here.
I left mine at home!
Does that hurt?
Some people think they are babies.
No, not at all.
They know how to fall.
They can adapt.
They control their body very well.
Another important thing:
they can handle fear.
I’d make all of them World Champions
and the last Moto3 rider.
You're surprising.
Us, two-legged human beings,
when we break a finger,
it takes three months to heal.
And you,
you're back on track after a week.
Our passion is full on.
He's coming up, but that's not enough.
Sunday, Marc will win. You'll see.
The outsiders of the championship:
Rins and Márquez.
You're the only one
to hold that time at that pace.
Some hold it for one lap.
Quartararo, who fell,
changed his front and back tyres.
At the front, he had soft and then medium.
Miller did the same thing.
Those who started with soft
changed to medium.
Be careful.
- Maverick will do two laps.
- Yes.
Well, unless we are late.
It's a funny story
between Maverick Viñales and Yamaha.
History repeats itself.
A few years ago, Maverick had been
excellent at the start of the season
before having more and more problems.
And suddenly, he struggled to make points.
Without any obvious reason.
Maverick has been under pressure
since the arrival of Fabio
who has performed really well.
Maverick is very disappointed
with his position on the starting grid.
Obviously. If I don't aim for the top,
what do I aim for?
I'm here to win.
I would like a gnocco.
Pecco wants to taste a gnocco.
What's that? A bite?
A gnocco.
It's so good!
It's just
that I find this track complicated.
I don't like it much.
Every time I start on this circuit,
I have to find...
Find your pace.
Absolutely.
Go on, Aleix! Go!
He will try to follow somebody.
This is too much.
Why aren't they penalising?
Stopping there is dangerous!
- Nonsense!
- It's a disgrace.
sh*t. The yellow flag is up.
What a pain.
This time it's Oliveira.
On the first lap, it was Nagakami.
On the second, Oliveira.
What ball-breakers.
They really break our ba*ls!
f*cking Oliveira!
Well done, mate.
- How far was I from pole?
- 22 hundredths.
I wasn't that far.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks very much.
You're all dressed up!
Smart trousers, shoes...
Even the watch!
There are different things on the bike.
I did a few laps at Montmeló
and it feels different.
It's neither new nor old,
it's just different.
The concept has changed and it helps me.
Can you tell me more about those changes
or is it confidential?
I can't give any details.
No worries, don't say anything.
I couldn't say anything.
To say what? There's nothing to say.
To say that we're behind.
No way to tell the difference.
- Hey, José?
- A beer!
We didn't get the first line.
- The second line is like a pole.
- No, it's not great.
Tomorrow, I'll be on the podium
and you'll be in the top 10.
Can you imagine that?
It was supposed to rain this afternoon.
Look...
Forget it, we'll see about that tomorrow.
What did you want to tell me?
In turn 9 or 10,
didn't you take it too wide?
Yes, too wide.
You should have gone
more on the inside, tighter.
Whenever we can, we give each other tips.
"You didn't put enough angle in the turn,
but you came out well."
"You lost time as you tackled the turn
or when you came out..."
We're very close.
It's nothing new.
When we were kids, every weekend,
the two of us were on circuits,
with my parents,
the caravan and the trailer.
We had races every weekend.
Sure enough,
currently,
we have different goals in sight.
His level is higher than mine.
We get on really well.
We understand each other.
If we're irritated or not,
if we say something stupid or whatever...
In the end, we each do our job.
He has his team, I have mine.
We each focus on our goals.
Entry turn 8 and 9
was somewhere we can gain in performance.
Is it raining or am I dreaming?
Have fun.
If it rains a lot during warm-up,
they'll probably stop the race.
It's not raining.
It's not raining enough to stop it.
If the start is complicated, never mind.
What counts is to get to the end.
You know how it is.
Manage the throttle and...
Don't give up before the end.
Sometimes,
physical problems affect the mind.
It's not the case here.
What I mean is...
He's an excellent rider
who has a lot of experience.
He has had many victories.
Carry on, come on!
Hold on!
- Good.
- He widens the gap.
We've got the pace.
Beginning of the race, easy.
Important, last 10 laps.
The worry is the shoulder.
He'll make a move.
Aleix will retaliate in the 12th turn.
Aleix takes the lead.
What's going on, Marc? This Aleix!
Marc is on his heels in turn 13.
The other one is too pumped!
It's crazy, as soon as we're in the lead,
Márquez decides to wake up.
That's perfect for Márquez.
Now, come on!
Come on!
It's unbelievable.
That's how we lose.
It's always the same thing.
Have you noticed the rain?
We can't help it.
We're plagued by bad luck.
Every time, something comes up.
I can't believe he's last.
I think he won't finish the race.
- Who?
- Viñales.
We lost everything in that f*cking T3.
He's catching up on us.
- Oliveira...
- Yes, he is fast.
Well done, my boy.
You can do it.
Go on, go on.
Here is Marc Márquez who,
at only 10 years old,
is already Cataluña speed champion
in 50 cc.
I dreamed of the world championship.
Now, I want to make
my second dream come true:
be world champion.
That's it, he wins!
Marc Márquez wins the race.
He's won, 581 days later!
Eleventh victory
on the Sachsenring circuit!
It's absolutely fabulous
to find the eight-time world champion!
Thanks, Alberto. Thank you.
We all feel that...
he hasn't forgotten.
And this little motorbike?
I asked the Three Wise Men for it.
Are you happy that they gave it to you?
- Yes.
- What did you think?
That the Three Wise Men really exist.
My head was spinning.
I didn't know where I was.
I made a mistake. I missed a lap.
I give my maximum, sorry...
That's the problem.
I was frustrated and annoyed because...
I didn't know what to do as a rider.
That's what got me worked up today.
I'm irritated.
Even if I wasn't doing too badly,
I didn't know...
You didn't know what to do.
I knew what to do, but not how.
I'm very tough on myself.
Instead of being satisfied
and pleased with myself,
I have a way of viewing life
and viewing my job
that don't allow me
to make the most of this season.
I always want more.
I'm gutted that I didn't make it
on my first podium.
I'll come with you.
Are you going home or staying?
No, we're going straight to Assen.
Viñales chose the front medium for...
Why?
- Who?
- Viñales.
I have no idea.
I think they try a bit of everything
at the moment.
But, it's weird because...
On this circuit, we struggled,
but not this much,
not enough to be last.
Perhaps ten.
But not this far back.
A disaster.
I almost went back to the box.
Honestly, it was a disgrace.
You mention a disaster, disgrace...
What lesson will you learn?
Who do you think is responsible?
I don't know. We'll see.
When I'm behind the others,
I know their level.
So...
We'll see.
I'm not sure.
What did you say to Yamaha?
Have you spoken to them? Not yet?
I repeat this every day: the bike
has had this problem for three years.
I hope it will soon be solved.
Watch out.
I'm right here.
I had hoped to be on the podium,
to get that feeling back
and share it with my close ones,
with my team, in the paddock.
I didn't imagine I'd win.
Three zeros in a row
affect your self-confidence.
You can't fall again.
I tried to stay focused,
to forget what had happened
and simply make the most of it.
We could do with some music.
Why don't you sing? You know this tune.
It's "dumbass".
No, it's "dumb" in the original version.
No, "dumbass".
- What shall we bet?
- Whatever.
- A wheel in qualifying.
- Alright.
Deal. Find the music.
Can you hear?
He said "dumb".
You're the dumbass!
You're right, he says "dumb",
but in the remix, it's "dumbass".
You know it by heart. That's crazy.
So?
- I'm too clever.
- Yeah, right!
You never remember anything.
No sé què, no sé què, você
That's what he says.
It's stuck in my head now!
Shall we ride our bikes tomorrow?
Why not?
But around 10 am.
Let me sleep a bit.
I'm still half-asleep.
This one here.
This is your nightmare:
loads of right turns.
It's bad for me.
Other than being hard to take,
it's a turn to the right.
You'd prefer to the left.
With the brand new asphalt, you'll see!
What?
The Yamaha will take off.
Has the chicane changed?
No. It was always like that.
And the other turn?
Same, it hasn't changed.
- It was there for the next races.
- Really?
- I think so.
- No, it hasn't changed.
A bicycle and an RSV.
- Will the RSV fit?
- Yes.
We put it in to go to Italy.
But after that, it's full.
- Did you manage to get it in?
- Yes.
- How?
- The hardest is loading it.
But otherwise, there's loads of room.
It's 2.6 m3.
- You have to connect a goods lift.
- No, they'll cut here.
See?
Here and over there.
Then we just press a button.
It'll go down. It's automatic.
- Will you give me their number?
- Sure.
- Will you give it to me?
- Yes, right away.
Here we go.
To be honest,
after Sachsenring,
I wasn't looking forward to coming back.
But this is a circuit
where I'll enjoy myself.
I like riding here.
I have great memories here.
I've worked hard
to try to get back on my feet.
Why didn't you mention this to them?
There was nothing to say.
What's the next step?
- They are a bit hard.
- Yes, that's true.
We've got some new ones if you'd rather.
They're...
They're even a bit dirty.
My man is Pedro Acosta, boys.
Give me five!
- Hard at the rear and medium front.
- For the speed.
Keep a spare tyre for tomorrow,
because it'll be sunny in the morning.
And cool.
We'll put medium and hard tyres on.
Then, we'll adjust that
according to electronics.
The rider
has a thousand things to do
from morning to night.
We try to make his job easier,
to assist him as much as possible
for him to be carefree.
It can be small details, like putting
his suit on and taking it off.
Or checking the box,
making sure everything is in order.
It's important for him
to be supported by someone he can trust.
We grew up together.
He's always been my assistant,
on top of being my best friend
since nursery school.
After school,
he'd come to mine or I'd go to his.
You can imagine. It's been 35 years.
I was the first to do it.
Before, no one had a friend
as an assistant.
At the beginning,
several people helped me out.
Then I thought, "Why not a friend?"
Because, for example,
if I find myself in Japan,
I'd rather be with a friend to chat,
to have news from Tavullia...
I get less bored.
Let's say that I invented a new job.
Isn't that great?
Rossi attacks with excellent braking.
At least, that's the impression he gives.
He's always behind.
Making the most of an opening.
Watch out at the end of the turn.
Rossi takes the lead.
He takes it wide, he has no choice.
On the outside!
On the outside!
He overtook him on the outside!
Watch out braking in the last turn,
because Márquez is in his wheel.
He's going to try to make a move,
that's for sure.
Márquez goes into contact with Rossi.
Rossi has cut the chicane.
And he wins.
How is that possible?
- How fantastic!
- What a wonderful overtaking!
You did some awesome times!
2 and 8. Well done.
Where's Viñales?
Maio, avoid mentioning Viñales.
I only want one opinion on this session.
I'm 100% sure that Yamaha
won't want to say anything anyway.
No need to mention that.
Let's focus on the session.
Viñales tries again.
I'm surprised
how Viñales can just pick it up...
That thing was going to happen on Monday.
- What a shock.
- I know.
f*ck yeah.
- I know.
- It's going to shake up the whole thing.
Everybody will start getting worried
and nervous here... f*ck.
Well done!
Jack!
Jack!
What a shitty lap!
This has come from race direction. Listen.
We have to take the risk, if we see smoke,
we have the riders on track.
During a race some oil
could come on the track, it's normal.
The people of the race officials
have to know that.
The bike is fine.
Go on! Now!
I couldn't overtake him.
It's impossible with this bike.
I felt many things.
I was happy to be on the podium,
because that was my goal.
But I wasn't happy to celebrate this
with this team.
I was disappointed,
because I'd counted on Yamaha a lot.
