The year 2021, which made our hearts ache without knowing what would happen to Marc Márquez, gave us a big surprise, not horror like the birth of a new star named Pedro Acosta, but shocking in its impact. Mazarrón’s shark’ and confirmation of Valentino Rossi’s retirement at 42 (now 43 years old and already a father) after spending 12 years chasing his 10th title and accusing everyone, especially Márquez, of taking it unfairly from him.
Coming fully into 2022, we find ourselves in a pleasant surprise hand in hand with the publishing world. Richard Rodrigo, the touching and wonderful owner of RBA and Planeta, more specifically geoPlaneta, publishes two incredible stories because of how different they are from each other, the way they are written differently, and the personalities of their authors. The stories are about the great young man and the great old man, the most irreverent champion and the most influential veteran in MotoGP… until Marc Márquez Alentá arrives.
Two very different lives
Both stories are worth reading not only because they talk passionately about the racing world and the material from which its heroes are made, but also because they are stories connected with the youngest champion (‘shark’, he was just 16/17 years old). the hero) and the eldest (‘The Doctor’, who was left at 42 after having lived a few years when no one expected to see him in the lead) are stories written by two completely different hands and minds, and of course, two people. very different lives and of course trajectories, yes, connected with motorcycles, racing, but very different.
This may be the only place to be told: The veteran’s story Jaime Alguersuari, 72, did not concern Planeta about Pedro Acosta’s ‘explosion’. And here it can be said: You must be a friend, a student, a colleague, an accomplice, and above all, a member of the ‘Last of the Philippines’ club headed by ‘El Loco’ (his friends are like that). call him), believing in his projects and daring to put black and white the crazy things he dreams about on a daily basis.
I’ll tell you more: we are, and the world of two and four wheels knows it, in front of the man who at his home was the beautiful and curious Ossa 250 Monocoque, handcrafted in 1968, and piloted no less legendary. Santiago Herrero and where Acosta climbed for the cover of the book. We are facing the enlightened man who designed and created the Solo Moto Criterium, the Solo Moto magazine, from which all modern Spanish world champions and the Bultaco Streaker Cup come.
“A star is born!”
But when you read Acosta’s ‘The Story Never Told’ you will see that this is not a text to be used, it is not an ordinary book, it is a journey in the life of someone like Jaime Alguersuari who has decided to stop being a human being. professional pilot the day he was beaten angel grandson In a race in the Basque Country “because even though I beat him, this guy is 117 times better than me and I have to dedicate myself to something else”. And that’s how he became the main inspiration and entrepreneur (he coined the word) to put hope and means in a world of high competition.
‘El Loco’, who once described himself as a “duty monomaniac” and whose slogan every time he opened a competition was “Follow me if you want to be a figure”, was Pedro Acosta’s first training session in Qatar-2021 and was tweeted “Gentlemen” on Twitter. , a star is born!” I swear it was the first training. I own that wash. From there she fell in love with the boy and invented this book, which is neither a book nor anything else, a tale of a passion for racing and a commitment to a doll on wheels.
The famous kick to Márquez
book Nadia Tronchini this is something else. Even though it ends in that loving caste (I think) it doesn’t come from the heart, yes. “It was me,” says Oriol Puigdemont, his friend and colleague at El País and one of the best motorists. My clinical eye was shown to be in disastrous condition: in a short time, Nadia became one of the references of the World Cup, and not only that, but for several weeks she was my boss at the newspaper El Pais » .
Tronchoni worked very, very hard in the preparation of ‘The Thousand Faces of Rossi’ because he talked to many people from the ‘paddock’ to get a vision of ‘The Doctor’s life and surroundings that would surprise them. .
He says he was inspired by the idea that Pulitzer Prize winner JR Moehringer presented in America’s hard-hitting biography ‘Open’. Andrew Agassi and ‘Rafa, my story’ John CarlinTronchoni chooses Rossi’s famous hit that Márquez gave to Márquez in 2015 as marrow, spine, common thread and places the pieces of the puzzle for the reader to make his own interpretation of who he is and how he is. The legend of Tavullia, now a happy father, behaves this way and why does he do so.
I repeat: two books, two heroes, two stories, two authors, two completely different, original styles, one more heart than head, one less scientific than the other, but two exciting stories. A lot this summer, believe me.
