While many took advantage of this long period of rest separating the last meeting at Assen from the next at the Sachsenring to relax, communicate operations or train with family, the Doctor did not stop his consultations. His dispensary is his ranch and he receives all generations there. From Asian young shoots to the most hardened Australian retiree.

We know it, Asia came to Tavullia to present its best hopes to train. A global recognition with the unfailing support of Yamaha which it will be interesting to explore a little more when the VR46 brand knocks on the door of MotoGP. Moreover, the members of the academy Red were asked to supervise Peerapong Loiboonpeng 21 years old from Thailand, Galang Hendra Pratama, 17 years old and Indonesian, Soichiro Minamimoto, 16 years old Japanese, Kasma Daniel Bin Kasmayudin 16 years old, from Malaysia and Imanuel Putra Pratna 19 years old from Indonesia.

After biting the dust of the ranch track, they were transported to the Misano layout for three hours of intensive practice on YZF-R3s. The trip ended with a minibike race once back at the ranch.

The 37-year-old Yamaha official and nine-time winner definitely never stops. And he even manages, between all these activities, to get a tan.
