En este episodio de #MotoGP 2026 repasamos Mugello y Hungría, la remontada de Marc Márquez, el papel de Aprilia y Bezzecchi y los cambios que empiezan a perfilarse con Liberty Media y la MSMA, con tiempo también para un cierre anecdótico que nos lleva de Kenny Roberts a Valentino Rossi.
Pipe Dreams Podcast returns with a special episode featuring one of the most influential figures in motorcycle racing history, Kenny Roberts. From his roots in American flat track to becoming the first American to win a 500cc World Championship, Kenny helped reshape Grand Prix racing and opened the door for generations of American riders.In this episode, Kenny reflects on his rise through the brutal flat track scene, bringing a dirt-track-inspired riding style to Europe, and changing the way riders approached racing at the highest level. He discusses winning three consecutive 500cc World Championships, battling the world's best, and representing a new wave of American racers overseas.Beyond his success on track, Kenny also shares insight into his fight for rider safety, better treatment for competitors, and the modernization of Grand Prix racing. From redefining race craft to building a lasting legacy, this conversation offers a closer look at the mindset and impact of a true pioneer of the sport. This is “King” Kenny Roberts.Follow @pipedreams_pod on social media!____________________________________________________________________________________Please support our partners: Yuasa Battery: Setting the standard for powersports batteries since 1979.

Kenny Roberts ha giudicato 'noiosa' la Sprint di Austin, ma è stata la migliore da lungo tempo. Bagnaia è andato in fuga, Marquez ha sbagliato subito, portando con sé nella caduta l'incolpevole Di Giannantonio, ma poco dopo c'è stato anche il solitario errore di Bezzecchi.Due risultati buttati dei quali ha approfittato con maestria Jorge Martin tornato alla vittoria dal trionfo in Malesia del 2024. E' passato tanto tempo, incidenti, dolori...così Jorge - l'unico ad essere partito con gomma media - ha raggiunto e superato Bagnaia in fuga dal primo giro ed è andato a vincere. Per poi cadere dopo aver tagliato il traguardo con una lunga impennata che non è stato capace di controllare.Terzo sul podio Acosta, penalizzato poi di 8 secondi per pressione irregolare, cosa che ha riportato in posizioni che gli competono, finalmente, Enea Bastianini.Una live decisamente scoppiettante fra Pernat ed il Decano con i saggi interventi di 'Carenato' che li hanno richiamati all'ordine.
“Veni, vidi, vici”. Llegué, vi y vencí. Esta famosa frase de Julio César resume a la perfección lo que Kenny Roberts y Marc Márquez lograron en el Mundial de Motociclismo. Lo normal en este deporte es necesitar años de aprendizaje. Incluso un fuera de serie como Valentino Rossi mantuvo siempre su máxima de "un año para aprender y otro para ganar". Sin embargo, en la historia de la categoría reina, existen excepciones que rompieron toda lógica técnica y estadística. El Club de los Elegidos Ganar el mundial siendo rookie es una hazaña casi inexistente. Si obviamos a Leslie Graham, que ganó el primer certamen de la historia en 1949 cuando todos eran técnicamente debutantes, la lista se reduce a nombres legendarios. Umberto Masetti lo logró en 1950, pero el campeonato estaba aún en pañales. Los dos verdaderos terremotos que cambiaron el paradigma del motociclismo moderno fueron Kenny Roberts en 1978 y Marc Márquez en 2013. ¿Por qué es tan difícil? Porque el salto a la categoría reina (ya fuera de las 250cc a las 500cc de dos tiempos o de Moto2 a MotoGP) implica un cambio de paradigma. No es solo más potencia; es entender neumáticos críticos, electrónica compleja y una inercia que intenta descabalgarte en cada aceleración. 1978: El "Marciano" que humilló a Europa Para entender lo que hizo Kenny Roberts, hay que recordar cómo se corría antes de su llegada. El estilo europeo era fino y técnico, con Barry Sheene como el rey absoluto. Roberts llegó a circuitos que no conocía —sin cámaras on-board ni simuladores— y se enfrentó a una jauría de lobos que lo miraban con escepticismo. Roberts trajo en su maleta la revolución del Dirt Track. En los óvalos de tierra de EE.UU., si no derrapabas, no girabas. Cuando apareció con su Yamaha YZR500 amarilla y negra, los europeos quedaron atónitos. Kenny entraba pasado, tiraba la moto al ápice y abría gas a tope mientras aún estaba inclinado. La moto escupía humo azul y se retorcía, pero Roberts usaba ese derrape para orientar la máquina hacia la salida. No solo ganó el título a la primera; instaló el "estilo americano" que dominaría el mundial durante los siguientes 15 años. 2013: El Huracán Márquez y los "Aliens" 35 años después, Marc Márquez aterrizó en MotoGP tras una polémica decisión de la FIM que eliminó la "regla antirrookie", permitiéndole entrar directamente al equipo oficial Repsol Honda. Se enfrentó a la que probablemente sea la parrilla más talentosa de la historia: un Jorge Lorenzo en estado místico, un Dani Pedrosa en su mejor momento y un Valentino Rossi que regresaba a Yamaha con hambre de gloria. Si Roberts trajo el derrape, Márquez trajo el descolgamiento extremo. Introdujo el codo no solo como sensor, sino como un tercer punto de apoyo para ejecutar "salvadas" imposibles. Su estilo agresivo no respetaba jerarquías ni protocolos. Momentos como el adelantamiento a Lorenzo en la última curva de Jerez dejaron claro que no había venido a aprender, sino a heredar el trono de inmediato. Con solo 20 años, gestionó la presión de la última carrera en Valencia para proclamarse campeón del mundo. Paralelismos y Diferencias: La Genética del Éxito Aunque les separan décadas, Roberts y Márquez comparten un ADN competitivo idéntico: La Falta de Respeto Técnica: Ninguno aceptó que debía "esperar su turno". Ambos obligaron al resto de la parrilla a cambiar su forma de pilotar para poder seguirles el ritmo. El Origen en el Barro: La base de ambos no fue el asfalto, sino el Dirt Track y el Motocross. Esa sensibilidad para sentir la moto cuando pierde adherencia es lo que les permitió ir un paso más allá. Sin embargo, hay matices que hacen sus hazañas únicas. Roberts tuvo el mérito de correr "a ciegas" en circuitos desconocidos y con una mecánica de dos tiempos mucho más caprichosa. Márquez, por su parte, tuvo el mérito de la precocidad absoluta y de derrotar a una generación de pilotos que rozaban la perfección técnica. El Legado del Debutante No podemos olvidar a Jarno Saarinen, el finlandés que en 1973 estuvo a punto de lograrlo antes de que la tragedia se cruzara en su camino en Monza. Roberts y Márquez son los herederos de ese espíritu transgresor. Ganar en el debut no es solo cuestión de velocidad; es llegar en el momento justo en que la técnica de conducción da un salto evolutivo y ser tú quien lidera ese cambio. Desde 2013, muchos talentos han asombrado en sus primeros años, pero el título mundial son palabras mayores. Requiere una consistencia mental y una madurez que, normalmente, solo dan los años. Roberts y Márquez, simplemente, nacieron con ella de serie.
Sam Moses worked for Sports Illustrated for 18 years, the majority of which as its motorsports writer, covering events like the Indy 500, the Daytona 500 and the Long Beach Grand Prix back when it was a round of the Formula One World Championship. But his first love was motorcycles, and motorcycle racing, so Moses pitched those stories to Sports Illustrated and, with the help of his SI editor Bob Brown, he was able to write stories that no one else was writing. Those stories included his first motorcycle racing feature on a young, dirt-tracking Kenny Roberts in 1974. But he didn't stop there. He kept pitching those stories, bringing motorcycle racing to a new audience with more feature stories, including Roberts during his World Championship years, and the three-time 500cc World Champion's challenger, a young Freddie Spencer. We got the chance to chat with Moses from his island home of Lombok in Indonesia to chat about all that and more.Support the show

A special first show from the Grand Prix of the Americas with Mat Oxley joining Adam and Neil to talk USGPs, Kenny Roberts and more and we also interview double AMA SX/MX champion Hunter Lawrence (currently coming back from a shoulder injury) about his appreciation of the asphalt.
The statement "needs no introduction" is somewhat overused. But in the case of this week's guest on Off Track With Carruthers And Bice, it's accurate. Three-time AMA Grand National Champion and three-time 500cc GP World Champion Kenny Roberts truly needs no introduction. We were fortunate enough to catch up with Roberts at Circuit of The Americas with the legend in Texas for MotoGP and, more importantly, the road-racing debut of his Team Roberts' protégé Kody Kopp in MotoAmerica's new Parts Unlimited Talent Cup By Motul series. Roberts is all-in on the new class that is designed to find the next American MotoGP racer, and we chatted with the "King" about that and so much more.Support the show

Per conquistare il titolo mondiale Pecco deve vincere e sperare che altri piloti si piazzino davanti a Martin. Mission impossible o quasi… Nel finale più appassionante della nostra storia, Imola 1983, Roberts vinse la gara ma perse il titolo per due punti: Lawson doveva precedere Spencer e invece...
Bob Starr considers himself “lucky,” having spent his entire career in the motorcycle industry, including more than 32 years at Yamaha in marketing and, currently, corporate communications. “I turned a passion of mine at a very early age into a lifelong career,” he says with the enthusiasm of a teenager, “and I have really, really enjoyed it. I hope I've made a difference in the industry and, certainly, to Yamaha.”As the New Hampshire native relates, motorcycles made an early impression. Playing in the front yard of his childhood home, he vividly recalls hearing a bike pass by. “It was a Triumph, and it happened to belong to a local volunteer fire-department member. I would always wave, and he would always wave back. He had pipes on it, and it made a lot of noise. It was very influential to me.”Some of the behind-the-scenes highlights that Starr relates to Mark Long, host of the “Driven to Ride” podcast, are almost too good to be true. Like the time Wayne Rainey proposed that fellow three-time 500cc World Champion and mentor Kenny Roberts ride a two-stroke TZ750 flat-tracker at the 2009 Indianapolis Mile in exchange for Yamaha sponsorship at a celebrity pro-am golf tournament.

In our second segment I chat with motorcycle racing royalty, 3-time 500cc World Champion ‘King' Kenny Roberts. Both Kenny and his son's world championship winning motorcycles—as well as one of Team KR's Proton MotoGP racebikes and all their memorabilia—is now all a permanent part of the Barber Motorsports Museum Collection. I sat down with Kenny at the recent Barber Vintage Festival, and he talks to me in his frank and funny style about almost everything. Why the bike now on display (his 1980 Grand Prix race-winning Yamaha YZR500) is his favorite race bike; what drove him to such extraordinary achievements; and what it was like to ride—and win—on the fearsome Yamaha TZ750 2-stroke dirt tracker that one time at the Indy Mile. Kenny candidly tells me what's different about the modern era race bikes compared to his era; why he wouldn't hire legend Max Biaggi to ride his KR MotoGP bike; what he thought of his fearsome rival Barry Sheene, and of course, with a twinkle in his eye—why he likes English women. It's a fascinating insight into one of the truly greatest motorcycle racers of all time. So, without further ado, from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we really think you're going to enjoy this episode! We love your feedback!

What do Evel Knievel, Captain America, Kenny Roberts and the Terminator have in common? In 2018 Emma, Michael and myself scored an interview with Gary Davis, the coolest guy you've probably never heard of. Gary was inducted into the AMA hall of fame for his career as a racer, daredevil and stuntman. In 1969 he raced alongside greats like Kenny Roberts and Gary Scott. In 1972 he beat Evil Knievel's record by jumping 21 cars. But it wasn't an ordinary jump. He did it with a a partner, both at the same time and passing each other in mid air only feet apart. He then became a stuntman in the movies and TV, doing all of Evel's stunts in Viva Knievel and countless other spots. Next he became a stunt coordinator and 2nd Unit director on films like Terminator 2, Predator 2, Starsky and Hutch, and Torque. And in 2018 he was inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame. He is still in the business today, as well as being a collector, a bike builder and all around cool guy. So take a listen and enjoy getting to know about Gary Davis and his amazing life. www.vintagerides.travel www.adifferentagenda.com/ www.leodescapes.com/ Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

Desde los comienzos de los GG.PP., donde la moto apenas se tumbaba y a nadie se le ocurrió arrastrar la rodilla, hasta ahora, que las motos inclinan cerca de 70 grados y los pilotos arrastran hasta el codo… ¡y el hombro! ¡Cómo hemos cambiado! Cómo, por qué y quienes lo hicieron posible es lo que vamos a ver en este vídeo. Adivina adivinanza: ¿Qué es lo que más ha cambiado en las motos, más las ha hecho cambiar y más ha hecho cambiar el estilo de conducción de los pilotos? Esta la habéis adivinado todos: Los neumáticos: Ni el motor ni los chasis ni los frenos ni la aerodinámica ahora tan en boga, ha cambiado tanto la moto y su conducción como los neumáticos. Voy más lejos: Otras cosas han cambiado precisamente para adaptarse a las ruedas. Por ejemplo, la enorme adherencia de las gomas requiere chasis más rígidos y permite frenos y motores más potentes. Al mismo tiempo ha hecho de la conducción de las motos de G.P. algo mucho más físico: Los pilotos de ahora son verdaderos atletas. El Mundial de motociclismo arrancó en 1949, un año antes que la F1. Las primeras motos de GP eran largas, el peso muy atrás y eran difíciles de meter en curva. Los neumáticos casi de calle y con dibujo no permitían las tumbadas de ahora. Se trataba de mantener la velocidad de las motos en la curva, utilizar sobre todo la inercia y los pilotos, en las motos más potentes, iban muy atrás, para tener motricidad. Por supuesto se inclinaban, pero no se descolgaban. Los pilotos usaban la puntera de las botas como referencias… Luego llegaron los slick y los pilotos se pudieron inclinar más e incluso encogían las piernas para proteger sus rodillas y no arrastrarlas por el suelo… Hasta que en 1969 llegó un genio… ¡y lo cambió todo! Además de por su novia, que era modelo y se paseaba en bikini para despistar a los rivales, Jarno Saarinen se hizo famoso por su estilo, arrastrando la rodilla. ¿Para qué arrastrar las rodillas? Eso pensaban muchos. Pues básicamente por tres motivos. Uno, porque se inclinaba mucho y no le quedaba otra. Dos, porque desplazaba el cuerpo hacia el interior y para eso tenía que flexionar la rodilla… y acercarla al suelo. Y tres, pásmate, porque así la moto tenía tres puntos de apoyo: Las dos ruedas y la rodilla. En el caso de un derrape, era más fácil recuperar la moto si tenías un punto de apoyo extra. Y es que en las carreras sobre hielo que se hacían en Finlandia era frecuente usar la rodilla como punto de apoyo. Al principio muchos o todos los ingenieros y muchos pilotos dijeron que estaba loco… hasta que comenzó a ganar carreras, una tras otra, consiguiendo dos subcampeonatos de 350 en el 71 y 72 y el título Mundial de 250 en 1972... iba a ser el gran rival de Giacomo Agostini. Y solo un grave y desafortunado accidente impidió que así fuese. Saarinen, tristemente, desapareció. Pero, afortunadamente, llegó desde Marte un extraterrestre que lo cambió todo. Honestamente, confieso que estoy convencido que Kenny Roberts es un extraterrestre venido a la tierra. Lo que no tengo claro es si vino desde Marte o desde un planeta más lejano. Y, honestamente, creo que no soy el único que lo cree… ¿verdad? Partamos de una base: Un vehículo de ruedas y motor si subvira, o sea, desliza de adelante y abre la curva, será lento. Esto era algo endémico en las motos de G.P. En cambio si sobrevira, es decir, se va de atrás y “cierra” la curva, será rápido. Esto se hacía en coche casi desde siempre, pero muchos pensaban: “Es que las motos de G.P. no derrapan y si derrapas, te caes”. Ya. Pues se ve que nadie se lo dijo a un tal Kenneth Leroy Roberts, sin duda nacido en otro planeta pero con la tapadera de haber nacido en California, en un pueblo, no te lo pierdas, llamado “Modesto”… esto parece de broma.. Kenny llegaba de correr el Campeonato americano AMA de Dirt Track que mayoritariamente se disputaba en ovales de tierra o ceniza. Ganaría en el 73 y el 74. Y en los óvalos, para girar, hay que derrapar. No hay otra forma de girar que no sea dando gas. Kenny vio a Saarinen en las 200 Millas de Daytona y quedó impresionado por su estilo. Así que cuando vino a Europa y le dieron una moto de MotoGP y vio que no conseguía “meterla” en la curva, ¿qué es lo que hizo? Usar su propia técnica de derrapar y la que vio a Jarno de arrastrar la rodilla. Tanto si vais en moto como si no, ya imagináis que esto no es fácil. Y menos con una moto ligerísima de dos tiempos con una banda de potencia endiablada. Pero Kenny, que insisto en que vino de otro planeta, sí pudo. Y para esa técnica arrastrar la rodilla era aún más útil. Kenny Roberts cambió el estilo de conducir una moto de G.P. a base de “empujar” la rueda delantera y de derrapar. Tuvo el mismo problema que Jarno: Primero se protegía el mono con cinta americana y luego ya empezó a utilizar una rozadera de nylon más o menos como las que usamos ahora. El agarre de los neumáticos no paraba de mejorar pero parecía imposible que una moto se pudiese inclinar más. Cierto, la moto no, pero el piloto sí. El descaro de un novato puede ser muy irritante… Seguramente es lo que hubiese visto en 2013 si le preguntas a Jorge Lorenzo segundo en el Mundial ese año, a Dani Pedrosa, tercero o a Valentino Rossi, cuarto, los “reyes” de la categoría máxima vencidos por el debutante Marc Márquez. ¿Qué hacía Marc que no hiciesen los demás? Pues seguramente muchas cosas, pero una de ellas es descolgarse más que nadie en la moto y arrastrar la rodilla, los codos y casi el manillar. Lo mismo que ahora hacen todos… Esto era en parte la causa de las famosas “salvadas” porque como decía un amigo mío: “No sé cae porque ya está por el suelo”… os invito a verlas. Conclusión. Hay pilotos que han destacado por su eficacia, como Agostini o Spencer. Otros por su estrategia, como Nieto. Otros por su genialidad, como Schwantz o Stoner… pero solo unos pocos por haber sido capaces de influir en la técnica de pilotaje de todos los que han venido detrás. Tengo especial debilidad por pilotos como Saarinen y Roberts sin olvidar a Márquez.
This week we give a royal welcome to our guest, the legendary Kenny Robers. ‘King Kenny' not only won the world title three times, but he also changed the face of MotoGP forever through his legendary battle with the FIM over riders' rights, than started his own world titles winning raceteam and even became a racebike manufacturer. And that's not even getting in to some of his other (in)famous exploits…So join Mat and Peter as Kenny takes them on a wild ride through history, from heated battles on the track to the case of a missing testicle, and discover that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Let's go!With big thanks as always to Brad Baloo from The Next Men and Gentleman's Dub Club, who wrote our theme song. Check out The Nextmen for more great music!
Com a chegada da Trackhouse para substituir a barrada RNF, a MotoGP começou a falar em uma segunda corrida nos Estados Unidos, já que quer conquistar o que considera ser um “mercado importante”. O Mundial de Motovelocidade, porém, vive um período de entressafra, já que não tem pilotos nativos dos Estados Unidos como titulares na classe rainha desde a aposentadoria de Ben Spies. O país comandado por Joe Biden, todavia, tem um passado glorioso no esporte, com campeões como Eddie Lawson, Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey, Freddie Spencer, Kenny Roberts, Kenny Roberts Jr. e Nicky Hayden. Bom ressaltar, também, que em um passado não muito distante, a MotoGP corria três vezes no país, o que mudou com a saída de Laguna Seca e Indianápolis. Desde 2016, o GP das Américas, em Austin, é o único na programação.
The Throstle Club is a programme produced by Black Country Radio Xtra and presented by Norman Bartlam and Bob Downing. It is a monthly programme which looks back on the long and proud history of West Bromwich Albion featuring interviews with former players and reminiscences from supporters of the club. The studio guest is well known Baggies man John Homer. The key interview is with former Albion player Lyndon Hughes. He talks about his early playing days as a lad in Smethwick and about his astonishing recovery from having a kidney removed - which could have ended his career in the early 1970s. Following the recent Malta v England game, we have a feature on Albion players who also played for clubs in Malta, including a look at a Floriana, a club that won the Maltese League under the inspired leadership of former Baggies man George Shaw. Special thanks go to Kenny Roberts of the Floriana media team and Maltese Albion fan Conrad Chircop of Look Back in Albion facebook page. Comradeship amongst lifelong Albion fans is a common thing, and this is exemplified by a dedicated group who have been to Fuengirola in Spain in memory of former Albion supporters; Richie Brentnall and Geoff Waters. This hour-long programme was first broadcast on Black Country Radio and is also available on the Black Country Xtra On Demand service.

Cory West has been around the racing block a few times. He's raced an EBR in AMA Superbike. He's raced in a Honda 600 in Spain for a guy named Kenny Roberts with current MotoAmerica Supersport points leader Xavi Fores as a teammate. He's raced flat track, two-stroke 250cc GP bikes back when that was a class in AMA racing and even the Pikes Peak Hillclimb. And the ever-smiling racer from Eureka Springs, Arkansas is still at it. Only now it's Mission King Of The Baggers on a Harley-Davidson Road Glide and the Mission Super Hooligan National Championship on a Harley-Davidson Pan America.

Welcome to Motos and Friends, Ultimate Motorcycling's weekly Podcast brought to you by the spectacular Yamaha R7 – a new generation of supersport machine. MV Agusta is one of the truly storied names in motorcycling, and the heritage of the Italian brand is evident in every one of its spectacular machines. Recently I had the opportunity to ride the Brutale 1000RR in Italy, and I was able to chat with Teejay Adams about the machine. As it happens, she is the owner of an MV Agusta herself. Her ride is a 2019 Brutale 800 RC. That's the Limited Edition super-sporting version of the Brutale 800 that comes with an SC Project full titanium pipe and separate ECU. These incredible machines are billed by MV Agusta as ‘Motorcycle Art”. Teejay and I pass our thoughts on and whether we agree with that sentiment. 00h:17m:07s Associate Editor Neil Wyenn brings us our Snippet this week. Lately he's been trying out the Sena Impulse modular helmet with the built-in comms system, and he gives us his thoughts on that. 00h:27m:15s In our second feature segment, Editor-at-Large Neale Bayly chats with legendary moto-journalist Mat Oxley. Mat's incredible MotoGP reporting resume is made even more credible by own seriously accomplished racing pedigree. He's won at the Club and Endurance levels, and he's competed and won at the Isle of Man TT as well. During his long journalism career, he's got to know the legends incredibly well. Guys like Mick Doohan, Kenny Roberts, Valentino Rossi, and even older riders like Gary Nixon, have all been written about by Mat. So if you're interested in what it's like to be a moto-journalist and a career MotoGP guy, the Mat will fill in the blanks. For those of you with a sensitive disposition, I should warn you that there's some salty language in this chat. So from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling—we hope you enjoy this episode! We love your feedback! Please comment or suggest: @ultimatemotorcycling @UltimateMotoMag @UltimateMotorcycling producer@ultimatemotorcycling.com
Hoy os traigo la breve pero interesante historia de las motos fabricados por el marciano, tanto con la colaboracion de Modenas como de Proton. Una aventura un tanto extraña que muchos tacharon de loca, puede ser que lo fuese, pero desde luego tambie fue muy valiente. Conozcamosla.
Born in Southern California, Wayne Rainey started his dirt racing career in 1977, when clinched the AMA Superbike Championship (Kawasaki) in 1983 after a fierce battle with Kenny Roberts and Freddie Spencer. Rainey was introduced to GP racing by Roberts who had only recently retired at the time, and began competing full-time in World GP from the 1984 season (250cc). Rainey then returned to the AMA Superbike and won the series again in 1987 (on a Honda). He then got a regular seat in the GP500 with Team Roberts. Over the next three years Rainey worked at refining his racing technique with amazing level headedness and a great fighting spirit. A "Rainey Pattern," where he would take the lead and stay ahead all the way to the finish, was established after some intense battles with Suzuki's Kevin Schwantz, who had been Rainey's former rival in his AMA years. From 1990 through 1992 he was able to match with Roberts' achievement by winning three consecutive championships in the 500cc class. However, a sudden accident in 1993 with his fourth victory in sight ended his racing career. Thankfully, Rainey's passion for racing did not end there, and he returned as the team manager the following year. This team consisted of Tetsuya Harada, Kenny Roberts Jr. and Norifumi Abe. Wayne was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999.

¡En menudo charco me he metido! ¡Nada menos que elegir el mejor piloto de motos de todos los tiempos!… a ver cómo salgo de este lio. ¿Me ayudáis? Ya os adelanto que no he tenido valor para elegir uno solo, así que he elegido 6. Son los 6 pilotos que bajo un cierto punto de vista pueden considerarse como los mejores de todos los tiempos, no son mis favoritos. No están Mike Hailwood, Eddie Lawson, Jorge Lorenzo, Wayne Rainey, Kevin Schwantz, Casey Stoner o muchos otros super pilotos… Espero vuestros comentarios para ampliar esta lista pero insisto: No me valen nombres, sino un nombre y un argumento. Y si hay muchas y buenas respuestas, ¡habrá que hacer un segundo vídeo! -Por polivalencia: John Surtees. ¡Cómo no va a estar John Surtees en esta elección! Por polivalencia, es el único ser humano de la historia en ser el más rápido en dos y cuatro ruedas, 7 veces campeón del Mundo de motociclismos, 4 en 500, y una vez Campeón del Mundo de F1… y luego subcampeón y Campeón de la serie Can-Am, los únicos coches que ha sido capaces de ser más rápidos que los F1… si te interesa el tema hicimos un vídeo en Garaje Hermético titulado “Can-AM, más rápido que los F1”. -Por títulos. Giacomo Agostini. La elección de Giacomo Agostini requiere pocas explicaciones: Simplemente es el que más títulos tiene… ¡nada menos que 15! De ellos 8 en 500 y 7 en 350. Y 122 victorias. Habrá quien diga que esa cantidad de títulos viene dada por la superioridad de sus MV Agusta frente a la competencia, fruto de la “trampa” del Conde Agusta. Pues lo que decís eso tenéis toda la razón, en muchos de esos campeonatos su único rival era su compañero de equipo.Y acabó acumulando títulos. MV Agusta, ¡por Dios que nadie diga “augusta”! y por supuesto, el amigo Giacomo, al que tengo la fortuna de conocer en persona. -Por maestría: Ángel Nieto. Lo siento. Y considero que no es por ser español. La culpa de que considere a Ángel Nieto “EL MAESTRO”, con mayúsculas, que le haya elegido como el mejor por su maestría es culpa únicamente atribuible a una persona: A mi padre. Mi padre era motoristas probablemente más por necesidad que por afición, pero anduvo más de 30 años en moto todos los días y le gustaban las carreras. Pero lo cierto es que veíamos en la tele siempre que podíamos las carreras de “Angelito” y mi madre y yo, que somos de la misma pasta, nos poníamos cardiacos. Pero mi padre no. Mi padre decía: “Tranquilos, en la última curva de la última vuelta pasa a todos”… Y lo hacía. Y lo hacía una y otra vez. He tenido la inmensa fortuna de conocer bastante bien a “el maestro” y os aseguro que contando historias era sino más, al menos tan bueno como pilotando una moto. DEP. -Por innovador: Kenny Roberts. No estaba en la lista, pero al final he incluido a Kenny Roberts por innovador. Revolucionó la conducción de las motos de 500 y por ende de todas las motos potentes, desde su irrupción en el Mundial en 1978. Por cierto, hicimos un vídeo titulado “Las salvajes motos del Mundial de 500” y es que esas motos había que conducirlas. Lo de arrastrar la rodilla por la tierra fue una técnica que comenzó a usar otro piloto que podrían estar aquí: Jarno Saarinen. Pero Kenny Roberts fue más lejos: Hacia girar la moto a base de acelerador y de derrapaje, una técnica que práctico con éxito en el Dirt Track americano. -Por carisma: Valentino Rossi. Sé que elegir a un piloto como el mejor piloto de la historia por su carisma, es muy subjetivo… salvo si hablamos de “Vale”, de “The Doctor” del mítico número 46, del irrepetible Valentino Rossi. Y es que desde sus comienzos Valentino demostró tener un carisma especial. Kenny Roberts cambio la forma de pilotar las salvajes motos de 500, pero Rossi cambió la forma de “entender” el Mundial, de convertirlo en espectáculo con sus contantes bromas, como la paradita a “hacer pipi” en Jerez y otras muchas. ¿Un “payaso”? Sin duda Rossi podría haber pasado a la historia como un simple “payasete” un piloto simpático si no fuese porque sus 9 Mundiales, 7 de ellos en la categoría reina, el único que ha ganado con una 500 y un MotoGP, ha corrido 26 temporadas y ha conseguido 115 victorias. Y lo mejor, ¡está entero! -Por insolencia: Marc Márquez. Los hay con más carisma, con más títulos, pero ¿dime cuántos pilotos han logrado ganar el año de su debut en la categoría reina? Si no lo sabes te lo digo yo: Sólo uno. ¿Adivinas el nombre? Ya sé que la RAE define insolencia como “Persona que habla o actúa con una falta de respeto que resulta ofensiva”, pero cuando elijo a Marc Márquez por su insolencia, lo pongo como valor positivo. Pasa lo mismo que con Rossi: Es simpático y divertido, pero se sube a la moto y era “The Doctor”. Márquez era y es insolente en la pista y sobre la moto, pero cuando se baja de ella es una persona próxima y, como dice una amiga mía seguidora del Mundial, muy “achuchable”… aunque algo de esto cambió en 2015. Conclusión. Un video así debería acabar con la manida frase de: “And the winner is…”. Yo os propongo una cosa: Haced vuestras propuestas, hacemos un segundo vídeo y luego hacemos una encuesta con un buen premio… ¿os parece?
