Joining the most successful team in the history of MotoGP is a dream for every rider, as Luca Marini acknowledges. The 26-year-old Italian arrives at the Repsol Honda Team motivated to take the manufacturer to the top of the podium once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When did your passion for motorbikes start?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to say this is something that was building inside of me year by year when I was a child. Just scooters, to try new things, and then I jumped on a pocket bike at four years old and it was like a game at the beginning. But then, I started to enjoy it a lot, even more, and then the bikes became bigger and bigger tracks and more speed. So, my passion also was growing a lot through the years. Arriving at to the World Championship was a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your first memory on a bike?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don’t have a lot of memories of my past, but I remember one time, one of the first times on the pocket bike, that I had like three wheels on the back. The first day balancing with my father we said, \u2018okay today we try to put them away\u2019 and it was a big day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell us more about the photos of you in Repsol Honda leathers as a child?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is something incredible, something made from destiny, I don’t know. I don’t remember very well why I had those leathers. I remember that I was really happy to have those colours because also in that period, in those years, were incredible, like every year in the MotoGP history with the Repsol Honda Team colours were incredible. So, it\u2019s a very big pleasure to wear them now in MotoGP.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know you always wanted to be a rider?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was something that was growing inside of my head and from around 14 years old I decide, \u2018okay this this could be my life, my job.\u2019 I enjoy doing this a lot and I would like to have a job like this. When I was younger also, I was thinking on other sports, even other jobs because I was curious to try many different things and then it was just the one that give me more emotion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell us about your journey to join the World Championship?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started with the pocket bikes then Mini GP like the Honda NSF trophy with the 100cc four-stroke. It was also there a very good bike, very good moments, good memories and then jumped on a Moto3 bike. The Italian championship, in the CIV. Then in European Championship I started to become very tall, so I jumped on a Moto2 bike and after one year in the European Championship, I came to the World Championship. It was a good journey; I learned a lot and now I’m a better rider and better person also for all the steps that I made in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
