Ducati nel 2022 schiererà 8 moto 8 piloti ma non tutti sono nei suoi pensieri e nei suoi programmi futuri. Ecco la classifica dei rider in ordine di preferenza secondo Borgo Panigale con tutte le motivazioni!
Vi piacciono le classifiche?
Tipo le top ten in cui si fa il conto alla rovescia di qualsiasi cosa per arrivare alla fine dopo trenta minuti?
A me non sono mai piaciute, quindi faremo presto a scoprire chi sono i piloti su cui punta Ducati in MotoGP, e perché.
Attenzione: la classifica non ha niente a che fare con le capacità di ciascuno e non è detto che a fine stagione non ci potranno essere sorprese.
In quel caso, forse Ducati cambierà idea, ma per adesso, le preferenze DI DUCATI sono queste, almeno fra i piloti attualmente sulle rosse. Perché sì, qualcun altro potrebbe ancora arrivare.
8
All’ottavo posto c’è Bezzecchi. Bravo ragazzo, per carità, e discretamente veloce in Moto2, qualcuno dice che sia persino più veloce di Luca Marini ma purtroppo è arrivato in MotoGP in omaggio nel pacchetto e non se lo fila nessuno.
7
Il settimo posto lo occupa Di Giannantonio. Non ha niente a che fare con le sue capacità, però Diggia è una promessa. Nel senso che aveva un contratto con Gresini quando Fausto c’era ancora e quindi, per una serie di obblighi, si trova su una Ducati MotoGP. Tutto meritato eh, ma questi sono i fatti.
6
Sesto posto per Luca Marini. Con una dote di 20 milioni all’anno by VR sarebbe stato anche più simpatico e un po’ più su in classifica, e probabilmente durerà qualche anno. Ma di lui di Ducati, non interessa, altrimenti gli avrebbero dato un’assistenza factory e invece con il budget ridotto dal flop Tanal-Aramco, sta bene così.
5
Il quinto posto è occupato da Miller. Sembra incredibile ma stava per andar via già l’anno scorso. Difficile il suo ritorno in Pramac. Qualcuno dice che sia atteso in Superbike, che poi sarebbe anche più adatta al suo stile, di guida e caratteriale.
4
Quarta posizione per Zarco. Se non si sveglia può rimanere in Pramac solo se quando Martin sarà andato via, non ritornerà Miller. Altrimenti ciao. Tanto un francese che interessa ai media, c’è già.
Top 3
Fare ordine nella top 3 non è una faccenda semplice, anche se il terzo posto sembrerebbe essere scontato.
Secondo logica il leader dovrebbe essere Bagnaia, ma deve vincere il mondiale. Altrimenti niente, perché tutti, e dico tutti, sono innamorati di Martin e tutti credono che abbia talento a palate.
Secondo gli addetti ai lavori la guida, i dati, il cervello, sono quelli di un predestinato e da solo vale quanto tutto il vivaio di KTM.
Ma in Ducati non vogliono bene solo a lui, perché Bastianini, che teoricamente non dovrebbe essere nemmeno nei quattro, fa paura e stupisce ogni giorno. Per questo motivo pur avendo una GP21, ha uno step evolutivo avanzato e un pacchetto tecnico che testimonia tutta l’attenzione di Borgo Panigale nei suoi confronti, incluso il contratto diretto con Ducati, che a tutti gli altri privati (tranne Martin), manca.
Insomma, l’ordine sarebbe 1Bagnaia, 2 Martin e 3 Bastianini, ma solo se le cose finissero per andare in un certo modo e solo in quello. Altrimenti potrebbero esserci grandi sconvolgimenti.
Borgo Panigale schiererà otto moto nel 2022 ma saranno tre tipi di moto diverse.
E non è finita qui. Ci saranno molte altre differenze da tenere in considerazione
Ci sono ben otto Ducati in pista per il 2022.
Non è mai successo prima e quindi sarà bene capire subito quali sono le differenze fra i pacchetti tecnici.
Iniziamo col dire che le due Pramac di Zarco e Martin sono identiche alle ufficiali di Bagnaia e Miller.
Del resto le GP22 sono tutte uguali. Quelle rosse del team Factory, quelle Pramac e quella di Luca Marini del team Mooney VR46.
Non c’è alcuna differenza fra specifiche (SpecA, SpecB, etc) anche perché trattandosi di moto nuove, la stessa Ducati non ha avuto il tempo di sviluppare degli step evolutivi che le possano differenziare. Questo almeno per adesso.
Durante la stagione, se ci dovessero essere, verranno distribuiti sulla base della disponibilità.
Facciamo un esempio. Nel 2021, le carene nuove comparse in Qatar, erano nella disponibilità di due per pilota nel team factory, e solo una per pilota nel caso del team Pramac. In altri casi, per altre modifiche, c’è voluto del tempo ma sono comunque arrivate.
Diciamo quindi che per certe cose è una questione di tempo, mentre per altre, di scorta. Bezzecchi, di Giannantonio e Bastianini avranno invece la stessa moto, con un’attenzione per Enea Bastianini che avrà una moto più evoluta (il motivo lo scoprirete nel prossimo articolo).
Per la 2021, evidentemente, gli step evolutivi, ci sono.
Ma chi pensa che sia solo una questione di moto, ovvero di modello e step evolutivo, non ha tenuto conto di quello che in realtà è l’aspetto più importante in grado di pareggiare le cose se non addirittura di stravolgerle. Parliamo del pacchetto tecnico.
Tutti i team, alla stipula del contratto, al di là delle moto “acquistate”, ricevono la stessa offerta di assistenza tecnica. Il pacchetto tecnico standard prevede, per due Ducati, la presenza di cinque persone: due capitecnici, due elettronici e un magazziniere, figura che abbiamo imparato a conoscere qui.
A seconda di motivazioni tecniche o finanziarie, questi pacchetti possono essere ridimensionati o estesi ma il numero delle figure rimane invariato.
Gresini avrà ugualmente cinque persone nonostante mantenga un suo tecnico. Donatello Giovanotti, infatti, lavora per Gresini ma avendo già lavorato con Ducati negli anni precedenti. verrà considerato da Ducati come se fosse factory. Giovanotti is Ducati approved!
Alla fine, quindi, tutti i team avranno cinque persone ma solo alcune che possono essere il capotecnico (come nel team factory e Pramac) e a volte l’elettronico, saranno Ducati.
Per quanto riguarda le assegnazioni solitamente, a meno di incompatibilità particolari, si cerca di mantenere, per un pilota, lo stesso capotecnico e lo stesso elettronico anche nel caso che il rider cambi team e passi, esempio, da un team clienti ad un altro o magari chissà, in ufficiale.
Bastianini, infatti, manterrà Giribuola e Massarin nonostante cambi squadra.
Per Bezzecchi, che invece inizia c’è un tecnico, Flamigni e un elettronico interno.
Per Marini, attenzione, perché come tecnico ci sarà Munoz. Questa è un’anomalia ma è una scelta della squadra che, in questo caso, non si affida a Ducati ma colloca una sua risorsa.
Come si comporta Ducati in queste situazioni?
Per le figure chiave, le valuta, e se ritiene abbiano un livello di preparazione che con un supporto tecnico consenta di gestire le cose in maniera soddisfacente, le mette sotto contratto direttamente.
E’ il caso di Munoz che passa dalla Yamaha di Valentino Rossi alla Ducati di Luca Marini il quale perde il suo capotecnico Ferraccioli che rimane, però, nel ruolo di coordinatore tecnico supervisore. Evidentemente Ducati ritiene che Munoz sia adeguato ma anche che gli serva una supervisione.
In sintesi, sia perché con tante moto in pista spesso mancano le risorse dedicate, sia perché alcuni team hanno già i loro tecnici, spesso si sceglie questo mix and match di situazioni comunque approvate.
In ogni caso il briefing di giornata sarà sempre centralizzato e i dati saranno condivisi.
Questo è il motivo per il quale non c’è da sorprendersi che anche tecnici “esterni” finiscano con l’essere messi comunque sotto contratto direttamente da Ducati.
Le informazioni sono il segreto più prezioso. L’accordo diretto consente a Ducati di sperare in un maggior rispetto della segretezza delle informazioni.
Facciamo un riepilogo delle cose che contano:
Innanzitutto il manico.
Seconda cosa, il model year della moto.
Ma più del model year della moto o dello step evolutivo, conta il tipo di assistenza tecnica che ti puoi permettere.
Perché il pacchetto non è fatto solo dalla moto ma anche dai giusti ingegneri, meccanici, etc.
Le moto gp di oggi sono strumenti troppo raffinati per lasciare qualcosa al caso. Metti che poi vai nel panico e monti male un qualcosa perché non conosci la moto come le tue tasche o, che ne so, ti dimentichi di fare benzina, per dire. Ah è appena successo?
Per quanto sia spiacevole, ci sono piloti migliori degli altri e così via per quanto riguarda tecnici, elettronici, meccanici, etc.
Ah dimenticavo: c’è un’altra cosa, che conta più di tutte queste. I progetti che Ducati ha per ciascun pilota. Ma di questo parleremo un’altra volta.
They write VR46 TEAM, should we all read Carmelo Ezpeleta (Dorna)?
This is what happened to Valentino Rossis MotoGP team even before it made its debut, indeed, even before finding a concrete configuration, or perhaps perhaps precisely for not having found it until now ... and we're talking about money.
By now, most will have noticed some key statements made by some key people, regarding the activities within Valentino's .
The last to speak was Pablo Nieto, never heard on the subject until recently, who is evidently promoted to the role of spokesperson while for Uccio Salucci officially Team Principal, after the clumsy attempt to follow the organizational part with a lot of fool with Tanal , a return to the role of VR companion in his future automotive adventures is announced. And therefore much less presence in the paddock, for him.
This configuration would have begun to take shape already after the surreal press conference of the Prince, after the two payment deadlines missed in the maddening waitingce for the 90 million and the other farce of the open doors event in the Saudi residence, in fact never opened as it was probably the result of somebody's
It is from that moment that VR, surprising more than a few interlocutors, has begun to repeatedly declare that the team does not concern him, even going so far as to reply angrily, asking the press, always all friendly, not to deal with the matter with him anymore. Even if the MotoGP team is goint to bear his name
Now there is only the VR brand remained
A VR46 brand in the world is necessary, for all the merits that Valentino has.
In truth, a Valentino who is always present in flesh and blood would also be needed but, in fact, he cannot be forced to be a non-participating showcase man. Rossi has a family, a baby on the way, and four-wheeled projects to devote himself to. He can go to some races to sign some autographs but he certainly cannot be put at the wall to unravel the daily hassles of a working team manager. He doesn’t feel like it. Not him.
The team would have been a gift to his entourage, to ensure that people close to him had a real job but the beneficiaries were not able to make the most of the opportunity. Ok the Moto3 and Moto2 teams when things went automatically and VR was still present but MotoGP is a game for adults and the results were seen even before starting.
The fool with Aramco inconveniently bothered or burned too prematurely, followed by the Tanal hoax and the whole ridiculous circus of non-existent characters, projects and companies have given a good blow to a VR46 management that management has never been. It is not enough to be friends with the boss to have business management skills and everyone has noticed this. A bit like there will be a difference between selling, as VR46 apparel, Valentino’s and Vinales’ t-shirts.
For this Pablo Nieto appeared.
Why Nieto and in what role
Pablo Nieto is not by chance in VR46. Decent (nothing more) rider of the 125 class and soon passed on the other side of the wall (we are talking about 2008-2009). Son of the legend Angel Nieto, cousin of Fonsi, has a long history as a trusted man by Carmelo Ezpeleta, a longtime family friend, and his career began with a “friendly” project.
Anyone who remembers the Onde 2000 team (Sete Gibernau drove) knows that his start was not the most fortunate. Owned by Francisco Hernando, friend of Carmelo Ezpeleta known as “El Pocero”, a much discussed Spanish character “and for this reason he quickly expatriated from the Iberian country to go and build elsewhere, the team, after a 2008 in 125 with Pablo Nieto and Raffaele De Rosa , landed in MotoGP on the wrong foot and then revealed anything but solid foundations.
It should have been sponsored by the government of Equatorial Guinea due to a building project on site but then the project turned out to be smoky (the famous “Empresas Zombi” of Pocero) and it would have been necessary to remove the logo of the country of reference.
The motorbikes, without logo, would then take the colors of the flag (white red and green for the fairings and blue in the front) and then return to the original classic version (white and black) with the manufacturer’s name as sponsor instead of that of the project.
In short, something critical. After a few races on a Desmosedici, the shutdown, and Gibernau on foot forever until his return to MotoE in 2019. These are the beginnings of Pablo Nieto as team manager, reported not to define his responsibilities or abilities (he also obtained important results with Vinales and VR46) as well as to circumscribe his proximity to Dorna and Ezpeleta also by virtue of his illustrious descent.
Nieto is one of those who knows what to do in mangy situations and who, above all, knows what to say. One who does not take dangerous initiatives, indeed he does not take any at all and who, for this reason, can be trusted.

The bad rumors popping up
In the last few days the rumors that see VR46 MotoGP not with Ducati but with Yamaha or at least in close negotiations with the Japanese and Jarvis, whose son, after having worked for years in VR46 now manages what will be the future Yamaha Mastercamp team Moto2, are on.
The matter, surprising as it may be, does not necessarily have to do with the agreement signed some time ago, the one in which Dall’Igna, Ezpeleta and Salucci appeared in the photo. Ducati has a 3-year contract with VR46 for motorcycles and the agreement requires Bologna to be paid for those.
If there were not the money they needed, in Bologna they would be forced, in spite of themselves, to give the bikes (one of which is a factory, moreover) to other interlocutors but in Ducati on the financial theme they are still guaranteed and for this reason, that whether they are or not, they say they are secured. On Thursday there was a technical meeting that clarified some organizational details and referred to the mechanics staff, but not which sponsor will be. It is curious but this is the case. Ducati does not care who will pay them for the bikes and where they will find the money.
Also for this reason, however, rumors of a support for Bastianini would have emerged that he would find himself deserving more, the bike of Marini, if things did not go. Although Ducati reiterates that Basstianini will not have a 2022, the rumors remain. They are just rumors, it is clear, but if it is true that Don Carmelo takes everything in hand, they find meaning.
I pay, I decide
This is what anyone would say, including Carmelo Ezpeleta, called to relive, once again, the dejavu of having someone to help every year.
If previously the fact of having 8 Ducatis on the track would have been a matter to suffer (each customer chooses the bikes he prefers, if he pays them), with a different situation, perhaps it is better to try to rebalance the grid.
Two Yamahas instead of two Ducatis would be a perfect rebalancing of the forces on the field and would cost even less.
To Dovizioso an official bike, and for Binder who cares, and the Marini-Bezzecchi duo, the current bikes of Razali’s team which, among other things, according to other rumors, has a future, beyond 2022, which is anything but guaranteed. All at a much lower cost than two reds, one of which is factory ’22.
Giving it to Bastianini would make everyone happy. And having two trusted Yamaha customers in case Razali jumped would make everyone more relaxed.
When could all this happen? Most likely from 2023 but some say even earlier.
Under these conditions, perhaps it is true that Aramco is “back” in the game and at this point nobody lies.
They don’t lie in VR46 and those of Aramco don’t lie either.
The first, starting with the spokesman Pablo Nieto, would be reassured by Don Carmelo. And the oilmen would have recently been triggered by the latter.
But more than getting back into the game, it’s about getting into the game, for the first time.
Because it is one thing if you are put in the game without your knowledge by a fake architect or a bankrupted team manager from Terni and then you have to talk to someone in shorts, another thing is if the contact comes from Dorna in person, perhaps through Stefano Domenicali, a friend of Ezpeleta and great boss of Formula 1, a championship in which Aramco already has a role.
The fact that Aramco enters as a sponsor of the championship and also ends up saving the a team is a separate matter.
What you have to look at is not what Aramco decides to do but the door through which he chooses to enter.
It is one thing to enter with the Dorna endorsement, it is quite another to go and do the sponsor on two motorbikes that risk being nothing more than Cinderellas.
Aramco can buy MotoGP with money coming from employee meal vouchers. Nobody believes that as an unfulfilled dream it has to end up on the fairing of the most “recommended” rider in the history of motorcycles.
Fortunately, these are just blogger arguments. Which are already something, since the professional sector press is busy pretending nothing is happening.
The truth, whatever it happens, will come out in Valencia, but we are already in overtime.

Wheeler-dealers, princes, oilmen and suspicious companies: is someone exploiting VR46 and Valentino without their knowledge?
https://www.misterhelmet.com/wp-admin/post-new.php
August 14th 2021
Team VR46: Ducati rumors worried about a possible scam. A rescue press conference on Wednesday?
Si scrive VR46 TEAM, si legge Carmelo Ezpeleta (Dorna)?
Questo è quello che è successo al team MotoGP di Valentino Rossi ancora prima di debuttare, anzi, ancora prima di trovare una configurazione concreta, o magari forse proprio per non averla trovata fino ad ora… e si parla di soldi.
Ormai i più avranno fatto caso ad alcune dichiarazioni chiave fatte da alcune persone chiave, riguardanti proprio le attività interne all’entourage di Valentino.
L’ultimo a parlare è stato Pablo Nieto, mai sentito sul tema fino a poco fa, che è evidentemente promosso al ruolo di portavoce mentre per Uccio Salucci ufficialmente Team Principal, dopo il maldestro tentativo di seguire la parte organizzativa con tanto di figuraccia con Tanal, è annunciato il ritorno al ruolo di accompagnatore di VR nelle sue avventure automobilistiche future. E quindi molto meno presente nel paddock.
Questa configurazione avrebbe iniziato a prendere forma già dopo la conferenza stampa surreale del Principe, dopo le due scadenze di pagamento mancate nella folle attesa dei 90 milioni e l’altra farsa delle porte della residenza saudita, di fatto mai aperte in quanto probabilmente frutto della fantasia e di qualcuno.
E’ da quel momento che VR, sorprendendo più di qualche interlocutore, ha iniziato a dichiarare ripetutamente che il team non lo riguarda, fino ad arrivare addirittura a rispondere stizzito, chiedendo alla stampa, sempre tutta amica, di non trattare più con lui la faccenda della squadra MotoGP che pure porta il suo nome
Ormai di VR c’è solo il brand
Un brand VR46 al mondiale serve, per tutti i meriti che ha Valentino.
In verità servirebbe anche un Valentino sempre presente in carne e ossa ma, di fatto, non lo si può costringere a fare l’uomo vetrina non partecipante. Rossi ha una famiglia, una bimba in arrivo, e progetti a quattro ruote ai quali dedicarsi. Può andare a qualche gara a firmare qualche autografo ma di certo non si può mettere al muretto a sbrogliare le rogne quotidiane di un team manager che lavora. Non ne ha voglia. Non lui.
Il team sarebbe stato un regalo ai suoi, per far sì che delle persone a lui vicine avessero un mestiere vero ma i beneficiati non sono stati in grado di far fruttare l’occasione. Ok i team Moto3 e Moto2 quando le cose andavano in automatico e VR era ancora presente ma la MotoGP è un gioco per adulti e i risultati si sono visti ancora prima di cominciare.
La figuraccia con Aramco scomodata a sproposito o bruciata troppo prematuramente, seguita poi dalla bufala di Tanal e tutto il circo ridicolo di personaggi, progetti e aziende inesistenti hanno dato un bel colpo ad un management VR46 che management non è mai stato. Non basta essere amici del capo per avere le competenze di gestione aziendale e di questo si sono accorti tutti. Un po’ come ci sarà differenza fra vendere, come VR46 apparel, le magliette di Valentino e quelle di Vinales.
Per questo è comparso Pablo Nieto.
Perché Nieto e con che ruolo
Pablo Nieto non è per caso in VR46. Discreto (niente di più) pilota della 125 e ben presto passato dall’altra parte del muretto (si parla del 2008-2009). Figlio della leggenda Angel Nieto, cugino di Fonsi, ha un lungo passato di uomo di fiducia di Carmelo Ezpeleta, storico amico di famiglia, e la sua carriera è iniziata proprio con un progetto “amico”.
Chi ricorda il team Onde 2000 (guidava Sete Gibernau), sa che il suo inizio non è stato dei più fortunati. Di proprietà di Francisco Hernando, amico di Carmelo Ezpeleta detto “El Pocero”, personaggio spagnolo molto discusso” e per questo velocemente espatriato dal paese iberico per andare a costruire altrove, il team, dopo un 2008 in 125 con Pablo Nieto e Raffaele De Rosa, è sbarcato in MotoGP con il piede sbagliato ed ha poi rivelato basi tutt’altro che solide.
Avrebbe dovuto essere sponsorizzato dal governo della Guinea Equatoriale per via di un progetto edilizio in loco ma poi il progetto si è rivelato fumoso (le famose “Empresas Zombi” del Pocero) e si sarebbe reso necessario togliere il logo del Paese di riferimento.
Le moto, senza logo, avrebbero poi preso i colori della bandiera (bianco rosso e verde per le carene e blu per il cupolino) per poi tornare alla versione classica originaria (bianca e nera) con il nome del costruttore come sponsor al posto di quello del progetto.
Un qualcosa di critico, insomma. Dopo poche gare su una Desmosedici, la chiusura, e Gibernau a piedi per sempre fino al suo ritorno in MotoE nel 2019. Questi gli inizi di Pablo Nieto come team manager, riportati non per definire le sue responsabilità o capacità (ha ottenuto anche importanti risultati con Vinales e con VR46) quanto per circoscrivere la sua vicinanza con Dorna ed Ezpeleta anche in virtù della sua discendenza illustre.
Nieto è uno di quelli che sa cosa fare nelle situazioni rognose e che, soprattutto, sa cosa dire. Uno che non prende iniziative pericolose, anzi non ne prende affatto e di cui, per questo, ci si può fidare.

Waves 2000 2
Le brutte voci che girano
Sono degli ultimi giorni le voci che vedono VR46 MotoGP non con Ducati ma con Yamaha o per lo meno in trattativa serrata con i Giapponesi e Jarvis, il cui figlio, dopo aver lavorato per anni in VR46 adesso gestisce quello che sarà il futuro team Yamaha Mastercamp Moto2.
La faccenda, per quanto sorprendente, non ha necessariamente a che fare con l’accordo firmato qualche tempo fa, quello in cui nella foto sono comparsi Dall’Igna, Ezpeleta e Salucci. Ducati ha un contratto di 3 anni con VR46 per le moto e l’agreement prevede che Bologna venga pagata per quelle.
Se non ci dovessero essere i soldi che servono, a Bologna sarebbero costretti, loro malgrado, a dare le moto (una delle quali factory, per di più) ad altri interlocutori ma in Ducati sul tema finanziario sono comunque garantiti e per questo motivo, che lo siano o meno, si dicono tranquilli. Nella giornata di giovedì c’è stato un incontro tecnico che ha chiarito alcuni dettagli organizzativi e riferiti allo staff dei meccanici, ma non quale sarà lo sponsor. E’ curioso ma le cose stanno così. A Ducati non interessa chi gli pagherà le moto e dove troverà i soldi.
Anche per questo, però, sarebbero emerse le voci di un supporto a Bastianini che si troverebbe ad avere meritandola di più, la moto di Marini, se le cose non dovessero filare. Anche se Ducati ribadisce che Basstianini non avrà una 2022, le voci rimangono. Sono solo voci, è chiaro, ma se è vero che prende tutto in mano Don Carmelo, trovano un senso.
Pago io e decido io
E’ quello che direbbe chiunque, incluso Carmelo Ezpeleta, chiamato a rivivere, ancora una volta, il dejavu di avere ogni anno qualcuno da aiutare.
Se prima il fatto di avere 8 Ducati in pista sarebbe stata una faccenda da subire (ogni cliente si sceglie le moto che preferisce, se se le paga), con una diversa situazione, forse è meglio cercare di riequilibrare la griglia.
Due Yamaha al posto di due Ducati, sarebbero un perfetto ribilanciamento delle forze in campo e costerebbero anche meno.
A Dovizioso una moto ufficiale, a Binder quello che capita, e al duo Marini-Bezzecchi, le moto attuali del team di Razali che fra l’altro secondo altri rumors ha un futuro, oltre il 2022, tutt’altro che garantito. Il tutto spendendo decisamente meno rispetto a due rosse di cui una factory ’22.
Darla a Bastianini farebbe tutti contenti. E avere due Yamaha clienti di fiducia nel caso Razali saltasse, renderebbe tutti più tranquilli.
Quando potrebbe succedere tutto questo? Molto probabilmente dal 2023 ma qualcuno dice anche prima.
A queste condizioni, forse è vero che Aramco “torna” in gioco e a questo punto non mente nessuno.
Non mentono in VR46 e non mentono quelli di Aramco.
I primi, a partire dal portavoce Pablo Nieto, sarebbero stati rassicurati da Don Carmelo. E i petrolieri sarebbero recentemente stati innescati proprio da quest’ultimo.
Ma più che tornare in gioco, si tratta di entrare in gioco, per la prima vol,ta.
Perché Un conto è se ti mettono in mezzo a tua insaputa un finto architetto o un team manager fallito di Terni e poi devi parlare con uno in pantaloni corti, altra cosa è se il contatto arriva da Dorna in persona, magari tramite Stefano Domenicali,amico di Ezpeleta e grande capo della Formula 1, campionato in cui Aramco ha già un ruolo.
Che poi il grande petroliere entri come sponsor del campionato finendo anche per salvare la pelle di un team, è un discorso a parte.
Quello che bisogna guardare non è quello che Aramco decide di fare ma la porta attraverso la quale sceglie di entrare.
Un conto è entrare con l’endorsement di Dorna, altra cosa è andare a fare di proposito lo sponsor su due moto che rischiano di fare poco più che i fanalini di coda.
Aramco la MotoGP se la può comprare con i soldi dei buoni pasto dei dipendenti. Non ci crede nessuno che come sogno irrealizzato abbia quello di finire sulla carena del pilota più raccomandato della storia delle moto.
Per fortuna questi sono solo ragionamenti da blogger. Che sono già qualcosa, visto che la stampa di settore è impegnata a far finta di niente.
La verità, male che vada, verrà fuori a Valencia, ma siamo già in overtime.
Serve un riepilogo della Telenovela? Eccolo qui, a partire da Maggio!

Misano was not the expected Italian happy ending for the VR46 package, either directly or indirectly.
Valentino Rossi started last and finished in the top ten. All in all, an acceptable result given the season, but certainly not one of those expected until recently when it came to a decent home farewell to his longtime career.
Bad also Bagnaia, considered as the flag of the Academy, on the ground to resist a Marquez who won the race in the home of others on a circuit that by conformation should have said no.
It did not go well even for the rest of the Valentno boys who did not shine in either Moto2 or Moto3, where a former VR46, Dennis Foggia, won his race.
The results of Morbidelli, 14th and Marini 9th and humiliated by his teammate Bastianini, which feeds controversy over the bikes that will be assigned to the two in 2022 (Marini the factory and Bastianini an old bike), close the weekend, but it is not over yet.
The thing that should worry, even if hardly anyone talks about it, is the failure to announce the sponsor of Valentino's MotoGP team, on which a dangerous silence has fallen for months.
It is not clear why it was a non-organizational or financial figure who broke it, but a technician, a figure who until now had never expressed himself on issues of this type, or perhaps this is a signal.
There are some certainties in the team: The riders will be Marini and Bezzecchi, while the historical employees of VR (Munoz, Flamigni, Gavira) are confirmed in their technical roles.
Who seems to be out of authority is Uccio Salucci who, apparently, will remain in the role most suited to him of Valentino’s Bottle & Towel Manager even in car racing. An accompanying role that, plausibly, prevents him from pursuing commercial agreements.
The most malicious will have thought that all this is due to the mess put up in recent months but Nieto’s tranquility seems to deny the rumors about the team that Valentino does not care about (he admitted this by declaring that the sponsorship problems do not concern him).
According to Pablo Nieto, in fact, the choice not to give news would be linked to the desire to better manage the last Italian VR race and otherwise everything would be fine with Aramco, despite the slowness of the evolution of the matter.
“As you know, we have made this deal with Aramco in the past. Things are going very, very slowly, but they are on the right track.”
And still:
"This is the most important thing and, at the moment, the thing I can tell you is that we are working on it. There are some delays, but we are on the right track and we are still working on it."
So after months the oil sponsor reappears, despite the official and repeated denials of its press office (Brunswick has repeatedly written to this website as well) and of its CEO who has spoken in first person publicly.
It is bad to use the term "liar" but someone is not telling the truth, because if things were to be as the Spaniard says, it would mean that Aramco has been denying something for which he was negotiating for months. Aramco has not released "no comment" but has categorically denied any past and present negotiations with VR46.
If, on the other hand, things were as described by Aramco, it would be someone from VR46 who made the mental films.
The surprising thing, however, is not so much pulling in a sponsor who has always denied it, but deliberately choosing to ignore the fact that for 6 months and for about 4,000 published articles, we have put up with the ridiculous intentions of Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, his advisor Architect (later revealed to be non-architect) Marco Bernardini, and the elusive Tanal Entertainment Sport and Media.
The triptych became the protagonist of Press releases for events that never happened (Fantastic Trophy), never created situations (construction of motorcycles), non-existent company headquarters (photoshopped buildings), never registered trademarks, and unreal press conference, all without concludeing anything.
We can report here the links of everything that has been declared but things do not change because nothing has ever really happened as it is a hoax carried on for months.
From the doors of the Prince’s residence that had to be opened to the press, to the races in the desert, to electric motorcycles, up to the repeated deadlines that were not met, everything was simply an invention.
The 90 million for the 5 years did not arrive, but not even the 18 million for the next season.
In April-May, the clarifications on the VR46 MotoGP team seemed imminent.
Aramco had even disappeared from journalistic reasoning, replaced by Tanal who still appears on Marini’s Moto2 and MotoGP along with other NON-EXISTING companies such as brands, offices and activities, while now it seems normal that the he news arrives at the end of the season. Yet another deadline.
And none of the insiders dare to ask anything about something that has been talked about for months, that is, and we repeat it, Tanal, the Prince, a councilor who was everywhere, and dozens of projects that turned out to be bogus.
A stage made up of liars, sleepy amateurs, incompetent, hustlers and cowards who do not have the courage to ask a question despite their professional ethics should force it on them.
Then we will do it: Tanal, the Prince and the Councilor, what happened to them?
And who lies between Aramco who says they are not involved and VR46 who instead says that everything is okay with the oil giant?
Fans who watch this show, who pay to watch MotoGP on TV, who click on sites or buy magazines, can draw their own conclusions about the people they give their money to.
And for those who want to see the show again, the episodes are all here, starting with the August episode:

Team VR46: Ducati rumors worried about a possible scam. A rescue press conference on Wednesday?
Misano non è stato il lieto fine Italiano atteso, per il pacchetto VR46, né direttamente, né indirettamente.
Valentino Rossi è partito ultimo e ha terminato in top ten. Un risultato tutto sommato accettabile vista la stagione, ma di certo non di quelli attesi fino a poco tempo fa quando si parlava di addio casalingo dignitoso alla carriera.
Male anche Bagnaia, alfiere quotato dell’Accademy, in terra per resistere ad un Marquez che si è aggiudicato la gara in casa d’altri su un circuito che per conformazione avrebbe dovuto dirgl di no.
Non è andata bene nemmeno un po’ anche per il resto dei Valentno boys che non hanno brillato né in Moto2, né in Moto3, dove ha vinto un ex VR46, Dennis Foggia.
I risultati di Morbidelli, 14° e Marini 9° e umiliato dal suo compagno di squadra Bastianini, cosa che alimenta polemiche sulle moto che ai due verranno assegnate nel 2022 (a Marini la factory e a Bastianini una moto vecchia), chiudono il week end, ma non finisce qui.
La cosa che dovrebbe preoccupare, anche se non ne parla quasi nessuno, è il mancato annuncio sullo sponsor del team MotoGP di Valentino, su cui per mesi è piombato un silenzio pericoloso.
It is unclear why it was not an organizational or financial figure who broke it, but a technician, a figure who until now had never spoken out on such matters, or perhaps this is a sign.
Nel team alcune certezze ci sono: I piloti saranno Marini e Bezzecchi, mentre i collaboratori storici di VR (Munoz, Flamigni, Gavira) sono confermati ai loro ruoli tecnici.
Chi sembra essere esautorato è Uccio Salucci che, a quanto pare, rimarrà nel ruolo a lui più consono di Bottle&Towel Manager (responsabile borraccia e asciugamano) di Valentino anche nelle corse in auto. Un ruolo di accompagnatore che, plausibilmente, gli impedisca di portare avanti accordi commerciali.
I più maligni avranno pensato che tutto ciò sia dovuto al pasticcio messo su negli ultimi mesi ma la tranquillità di Nieto sembra smentire le voci sul team del quale a Valentino non interessa nulla (lo ha ammesso dichiarando che i problemi di sponsorizzazione non lo riguardano).
According to Pablo Nieto, in fact, the decision not to give news would be linked to the desire to manage the last Italian VR race as best as possible, and otherwise everything would be fine with Aramco, despite the slow progress of the matter.
“Come sapete, abbiamo fatto questo accordo con Aramco in passato. Le cose stanno andando molto, molto lentamente, ma sono sulla strada giusta”
Also:
"This is the most important thing, and right now, the thing I can tell you is that we are working on it. There are some delays, but we are on the right track and we are still working on it."
So after months, the oil sponsor resurfaces, despite official and repeated denials by its press office (Brunswick has repeatedly denied it to this website as well) and its CEO who has spoken out publicly himself.
It is bad to use the term "liar" however, someone is not telling the truth, because if things were to be as the Spaniard says, it would mean that Aramco has been denying for months something for which it was in negotiations. Aramco did not issue "no comment" but instead categorically denied any past and present negotiations with VR46.
If, on the other hand, things were as described by Aramco, it would be someone from VR46 who was making mental movies.
What is astonishing, however, is not so much the bringing up of a sponsor who has always denied it, but deliberately choosing to ignore the fact that for 6 months and some 4,000 published articles, we have been grinning at the ridiculous intentions of Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, his advisor Architect (later revealed not to be an architect) Marco Bernardini, and the phantom Tanal Entertainment Sport and Media.
The triptych has been responsible for press releases for events that never happenedFantastic Trophy), situations never created (motorcycle construction),nonexistent corporate headquarters (photoshopped buildings), holding company trademarks never registered, and press conferences bordering on the surreal, without concluding anything.
We can report here the links of everything that was stated but things do not change because nothing ever really happened as it is a bluster carried on for months.
From the doors of the Prince's residence that were to be opened to the press, to races in the desert, to electric motorcycles, to repeated missed deadlines, everything was simply an invention.
Non sono arrivati i 90 milioni per i 5 anni, ma nemmeno i 18 per la prossima stagione.
Ad Aprile-maggio, le delucidazioni sul team MotoGP VR46 sembravano imminenti.
Aramco era addirittura scomparsa dai ragionamenti giornalistici, sostituita da Tanal che compare ancora sulle moto2 e sulla MotoGP di Marini insieme ad altre aziende INESISTENTI come brand, sedi e attività, mentre adesso sembra normale che le news arrivino a fine campionato. Un’ennesima scadenza.
And none of the insiders dares to ask anything about something that has been talked about for months, namely, and we repeat, Tanal, the Prince, an adviser who was everywhere, and dozens of projects that later turned out to be bogus.
A stage made up of liars, sleepy amateurs, incompetents, marketeers and wimps who do not have the courage to ask a question despite the fact that their professional ethics should dictate it.
I'll make it: what happened to Tanal, the Prince and the Counselor? And who is lying between Aramco who says they are not involved and VR46 who instead says everything is fine with the oil giant?
Gli appassionati che guardano questo spettacolo, che pagano per guardare la MotoGP in TV, che cliccano sui siti o comprano le riviste, traggano le loro conclusioni sulla gente a cui danno i soldi.
And for those who want to review the show, the episodes are all here, starting with the May episode:
6 maggio 2021 MotoGP: perché ARAMCO non sa niente della partnership con VR46?
1 agosto 2021 Faccendieri, principi, petrolieri e aziende “sospette”: qualcuno sfrutta a sua insaputa VR46 e Valentino? I nuovi comunicati non convincono!
La gara di Misano sono due gare.
Quella di Bagnaia che se ne va e quasi viene ripreso… e quella di chi può solo guardare, Quartararo incluso.
Nella gara di chi non può è protagonista anche Bastianini, vera rivelazione che lo richiede, per acclamazione, su una Ducati ufficiale tanto quanto Martin e Zarco, anche se la “politica” dice altre cose.
Il resto è gap… gente che fatica e che fa il suo dovere, ma che, di fatto, fa un altro sport.
Mini cronaca
Bagnaia parte per primo e primo rimane. Poche curve sono già un secondo.
Alle sue spalle Miller, Quartararo, Martin e le due Honda di Marc Marquez e Pol Espargaro in lotta con Aleix su Aprilia.
La super gara è quella di Bastianini che è quarto alle spalle di Quartararo dopo aver infilato Marquez.
Piovono i long lap penalties in Pramac mentre il vantaggio di Bagnaia aumenta e il ritardo di Bastianini nei confronti di Miller e Quartararo, diminuisce.
A meno 14 Quartararo passa Miller e gli dà subito dei metri.
Rins, dalla sua, buca Marquez ma poi va nella ghiaia mentre Bastianini fa tre fast lap consecutivi.
A meno 7 Quartararo ha dimezzato il suo ritardo nei confronti di Bagnaia mentre Bastianini gira come e meglio dei primi. La gara è questa mentre alle spalle arrancano un po’ tutti e non ci sono novità.
A meno 3 il distacco è di soli 4 decimi. I due di testa aumentano il gap su Bastianini che però ha il podio a portata di mano.
Bagnaia batte di pochissimo Quartararo poi Super Bastianini, Marquez, Mir, Miller, Pol Espargaro, Aleix Espargaro, Binder, Nakagami!
Seconda vittoria di fila per Bagnaia, Quartararo affilatissimo, Bastianini magico e Marquez abbastanza competitivo. Gli altri sono lontani.

Aragon, gara bellissima, si regge quasi esclusivamente sul duello Bagnaia – Marquez. Lo spagnolo è tornato, anche se non è in forma al 100% ma l’Italiano finalmente vince una gara che lo ripaga delle attese davvero lunghe. Vincere in Spagna, contro Marquez e in questo modo, gli apre le porte di un club ristretto e finalmente gli restituisce qualcosa di quello che merita.
Ma Aragon non è solo questo. E’ una Ducati che comunque funziona, una Suzuki che in qualche modo c’è, e un’Aprilia che ormai è stabilmente nelle top 5 con un pilota che merita delle scuse da parte di chi lo ha sempre malamente sottovalutato. Aleix Espargaro è un leone che guida un leone e che grazie a Vinales (comprensibilmente in difficoltà al debutto) fa capire quanto vale. Una menzione d’onore, l’ultima, per Enea Bastianini. Umilia il compagno di squadra e tante moto migliori della sua, con una gara da veterano.
E’ inspiegabile il fatto che gli verrà data una Ducati di secondo piano mentre il suo compagno di squadra è in lizza per una Ducati factory.
Nella lavagna dei negativi Quartararo, sconfitto di giornata, Rins e gli altri big. Per Rossi, invece, è il buio oltre la decenza mentre, per Luca Marini, vale quanto detto sopra parlando di Bastianini. Una Ducati ufficiale non se la merita proprio.
La gara
Bagnaia al via mantiene la pole ma Marquez gli è subito addosso seguito da Miller e Aleix Espargaro mentre Martin aggredisce Pol Espargaro e Quartararo. Il francese registra ad Aragon una gara molto difficile pur essendo la migliore delle Yamaha con Dixon out,Crutchlow indietro e Rossi addirittura ultimo alle spalle di Vinales e in lotta con Marini.
Tutta la gara è una lotta fredda fra Bagnaia e Marquez con lo Spagnolo che sembra non volerci provare mai fino a tre giri dal termine quando l’Italiano subisce ma replica per 7 volte ai sorpassi impossibili dello spagnolo che va anche largo.
Bagnaia, Marquez, Mir, Aleix Espargaro, Miller, Bastianini
Binder, Quartararo, Martin e Nakagami. Finalmente Bagnaia ce la fa.

DISCLAIMER Usually those who spoil parties are never nice and seem to do so out of envy, spite, or who knows what. Assuming that this is the case, that is, that we are indeed spoiling a party, it is good to clarify the meaning of this piece. The only purpose is to protect all those who might, as collateral victims, stumble upon a matter that is likely to be unclear. Obviously we believe in the good faith of all parties involved, but at the same time we would like to point out some doubts about the matter. Many things do not add up and we raise a flag. If we got something wrong, we are ready to rectify it. For the last time, we would be happy if this whole affair was a big misunderstanding.
All the documentation, recorded phone calls, emails and communications we have collected, is available to the Judiciary.
PROLOGUE
Since May 6 on this site we have been busy seeking information and clearing some doubts about the communicated partnership between Tanal Entertainment Sport and Media, and VR46 with the sponsorship of Aramco, for the 2022 MotoGP adventure on Ducati.
With the VR46 partnership statements still fresh, some doubts were already coming to light, unfortunately only on our part, related to the fact that, first of all, there were no signatures or quotation marks in the press release, and then the first denials from the oil company had already arrived.
FIRST DENIALS
More than three months, almost four, have passed since late April, and there have been two more denials. The first came in late June and the second, in Assen. The latter is really the heaviest, as it came from the mouth of the CEO of the oil company, Aramco Oversea, Al Murri.
Let us briefly give a summary history.
1) Denial by Aramco's press account, Adam Jibali, contact person for the Brunswick Group agency, which handles Aramco 's relations not in the UK but around the world.
"There is no strategic agreement between Aramco and VR46. There has never been any business relationship between Tanal Entertainment and Aramco." That alone would have been enough to worry about.
2) Some sites would later receive requests from Aramco Uk regarding the removal of the news of the Aramco deal from the news sites complete with a request for correction and with an official statement about Aramco 's absolute unrelatedness to VR46 and MotoGP. Few concerns here either, except from a handful of professionals, only foreigners.
3) To close, the CEO of Aramco Oversea, host of the Pramac team, would again and personally deny being involved in the deal. When the prince's words were allegedly pointed out to him, he would reply, "Do you know how many princes we have in Saudi Arabia?" A statement-an explanation that is hard to ignore.
It must be said, however, that Aramco could and could have made a little more effort to deny and say, on the record and once and for all, the same things it has been saying to various journalists face to face or mail to mail, in short, as it did to us.
These three boulders, with the addition of the latest denial that we also received directly from Brunswick Group on July 27, clarify Aramco 's point of view and downplay the repeated reassurances that allegedly came from the Saudi Prince. Arguably, despite the undoubted good faith, there is some distance between willingness to sponsor directly (through Aramco) or indirectly, by having Aramco go through Tanal Entertainment, and actually being able to do so lightly, ending up in the hull with certain brands. Provided everything is true, including the prince appearing in photographs alongside reassuring statements, but never in a video or in person.And allow us, everyone is free to have doubts and manifest them. Not least because Tanal Global Holding is one thing, and Tanal Entertainment Sport and media, another--and we will see that at least one of the two does not seem to exist.
SAUDI PRINCE'S ITALIAN ADVISER AND STRANGE PRESS OFFICE
We were recently contacted by the Prince's Councilor, Architect Marco Bernardini, who wanted us to make some clarifications, which, however, are nothing more than statements similar to those already issued through communiqués.
We point out that at the Order of Architects we could not find but one namesake in Liguria. "Our" Architect Marco Bernardini, we are not aware of.
Returning to the phone call, the architect was keen to illustrate how from the site Tanal and the network of releases, we could have inferred the goodness and absolute reliability of the initiative. Too bad the architect was not referring to Tanal Global Holding but to Tanal Entertainment, and there is no trace of the latter on the web.
We were later written to by Ms. Arianna Pasquale (we found no trace of her anywhere), Head Press Officer of Tanal Entertainment and Media, who, however, raised further doubts and perplexities in us. Let us see them.
EMAIL ADDRESS AND PRESS OFFICE
We found it quite peculiar that a multinational communications company with a dedicated site does not have a personalized email address, although in fact Tanal Entertainment does not have a site at all. The email came to us from tanalentertainment.press@gmail.com
This is unheard of in a similar field.
They make cities of the future and don't have a dedicated corporate email.
The same message, signed by Arianna Pasquale, contained no phone number, either personal or from the office.
The job of a press office is to get tracked down to provide information and clarification. This is not the case here.
The office has no address, email, landline, mobile, fax, etc. A website is not listed either. We went looking for it. And we did not find it.
Tanal Entertainment and Media is running several million-dollar partnerships with several international partners and has no website. We did, however, find that of Tanal Global Holding, which is also troubling.
Mail Press Office
DOUBTS ON THE WEBSITE OF MULTINATIONAL TANAL GLOBAL HOLDING
First, the mismatch between Tanal Entertainment and Tanal Global Holding. The website of Tanal Global Holdings with the S https://www.tanalglobalholdings.com/ is quite unique.
It is first of all made with a program for pre-packaged sites, specifically Jimdo. One can make a site there for a few euros by copying from various pre-packaged templates.
A multinational company that does billion-dollar projects did not contract a web agency to make its site. Quite unique.
And still it shows. The site is sloppily made.
Multilingualism is also not present. This is also quite strange for a multinational company that operates in 37 countries around the world.
THE NEWS IS NOT THERE
With all the high prestige and visibility initiatives, the news section is strangely under construction. Announcements are sent out, so the news would be there, but strangely it is not on the site. This is the first case of this kind for a high-level holding company. And also of a somewhat lower level.
President and Vice Presidents of Tanal Global Holdings are two Saudi princes whose names, however, are slightly different from those of the royal family found on Wikipedia, to be clear, even though they correspond to the owners of Tanal Entertainment Sport and Media.
It may happen that some transcripts are not quite identical.
We can overlook that as well.
There is a global network with a map and cities where the locations would be. However, there is not even an address to reach them. Not even an address of even one location. Yet we are talking about about 40 locations in 37 countries around the world, no continent excluded.
As advisor there is a name and a phone number.
No response to the call. As email address an email @tanalglobalholdings in the name Omar, and a gmail address.
Again, quite unique. Omar has an email with no last name in a multinational company.
Tanal News Section
A CLIENT PORTFOLIO WITHOUT CLIENTS
In the portfolio there is a list of activities in which Tanal is involved.
There are so many, but not a single client is listed in the client portfolio. Not a single specific initiative is listed among the many listed in the various releases. Quite unique.
Fra i partners presenti, ne abbiamo chiamati alcuni.
Di quelli che parlano inglese nessuno conosce Tanal ma un paio ci hanno già detto che è stata fatta loro questa domanda. Hanno chiesto a noi come mai. Forse è qualcuno che ha le nostre stesse curiosità.
GLOBAL SECTION OF THE SITES
Many offices in various countries have the same email address despite the fact that the contact persons are people with different names.
In various countries even far apart Omar always responds who has a gmail email address in common with other contact persons.
Strange this too however maybe these things happen.
The site's privacy policy is google's standard one, and it's not even customized for the referring site.
A bit of laziness, but it is still illegal. In Tanal they may not know this.
THE CURIOUS ANNOUNCEMENTS RECEIVED
Tanal, whether Global Holding or Entertainmente, does not appear to have carried out any activities prior to May.
All initiatives seem to start from that month, following the announcements of the agreement with VR46 in late April.
Only the latest activities may have been selected, but even on the web one can find almost nothing from before that period.
The first release we are going to talk about is the last one in chronological order regarding the upcoming (but it has already passed without having happened) participation of TANAL ENTERTAINMENT SPORTS & MEDIA WITH YAYA EVENTS AT THE ANDALUSIA RALLY 2021 TEST LIVE prologue of an unclear FANTASTIC TROPHY COMPETITION, which is supposed to be an intercontinental gaming competition mixed with hyper-realistic reality.
The connection is not clear but that's okay. The Andalusia Rally is a car event, though. On the photos, however, there is a gentleman who is supposed to be doing the Dakar on a motorcycle. The driver in question is also CEO of an Edutainment company that often appears in Tanal's press releases and partners. Jader Giraldi, is photographed next to a motorcycle but is participating in a car rally. Or so it is explained. Quite curious. Or we didn't understand it ourselves.
We tried to reach Mr. Giraldi but it was not posibiile to talk to him.
The list of various partners for the rest is quite clear: in addition to Tanal Entertainment Sport and Media we have Yaya Events, a company of the motorcyclist motorist, Maic Technologies, a specialist in biodetection systems.
All of these partners would be part of the Tiburtec technology hub , overseen by Architect Bernardini, the Prince's advisor, inside the Via Peroni headquarters in the Tiburtino Technopole, between Rome and Tivoli.
The location of the large, modern building also appears in the release, with all the logos of the many partner companies in plain view. The building, however, is a render, a graphic proof.
In reality the building exists, but on Google the color, the gardens, and the facade, which does not feature the company logos shown in the conunication, are slightly different.
We went to the site and indeed there is no logo on the facade. We spoke with some employees and the building's concierge and it was confirmed that none of the companies listed had ever resided within the complex or received mail. Or at least they, perhaps apart from Korean, do not know them. Not all companies need to be surveyed in a complex but then how come an untrue image was provided of a building that does not have those logos? What is the point of showing a counterfeit location?
The concierge and employees of the building assured us that the logos were never on the building, which instead are prominently displayed in the photo of Tiburtec included in Tanal's statement. For the record, Tiburtec is a real existing company but it administers condominiums.
Among the many companies mentioned, quite interesting is KMHG - Korean Moroccan Holding Group, an association of Moroccan expatriates in Korea, at least that's what we found, which is described as an expert in analytics.
It is a Holding Company which, however, barring our mistakes, we understand has only one employee. He must be a very good one who can do a lot of things. But being, that company, chaired by Marco Bernardini, we get the doubt that the architect is modest and does not want to appear too many times so as not to take too much credit.
Thus, somewhat surprisingly, the release also finds a place in the press release for the presentation of a project for a 4-wheel-drive hybrid motorcycle that should start from a video game and go on to a movie based on a book, and then be produced.
Tanal hybrid Moto
The video game we could not find. The book exists but we found no trace of the filming that should have been going on for a year in the city of Gubbio in addition to Rome, New York Jeddah, Riyadh and Moscow. For New York Moscow and other foreign cities we have given up but at the municipality of Rome and the municipality of Gubbio we have not found anyone aware that they have been shooting a film in their city for a year.
However, we are happy that the exclusive prototype motorcycle that will also be used on the set of the film called "Edward Loth - Najima The Fantastic City" produced by Tanal Entertainmet Sport & Media together with an Italian co-production and other international partners, based on the book by best-selling author Philip Osbourne, will kick off the mass production of the motorcycle in question designed by C Creative, a company owned by Claudio Castiglioni, in a factory located in Terni and managed by Giampiero Sacchi,the same person who at Mugello accompanied along with the VR46 men, architect Bernardini to Dorna by Carmelo Ezpeleta hoping that this project will have different results from those from the bankruptcy of Sacchi's Terni racing company, Ioda Racing, which unfortunately sees its assets subject to judicial auction and several people left without work and with payments to be received.
The bike however, though only a drawing, is beautiful and we hope it will actually be produced. Only thing: in another statement, also from Tanal, it is announced that the bike will instead be produced in Saudi Arabia.
There is some uncertainty. Someone tell that to Giampiero Sacchi, who may be preparing the plant in Terni.
For now, however, there is no great danger, since all the plans are future and nothing has been realized yet.
THE MAZZANTI SUPERCAR THAT DOESN'T EXIST YET
Somewhat simpler is the statement about the Mazzanti Evantra hyper car, which fortunately exists even if in earlier models and is produced in the number of 5 examples per year. In truth, since 2015 there have been no nameplate models. Only a few prototypes, at least that is how it seems to us.
Mazzanti is reported to have less than 10 employees with an annual personnel cost of about 81,000 euros. And so we assume that at Mazzanti, unless we are looking at exploitation, there should be just a couple of employees.
Returning to the car in the communiqué, of this model that does not yet exist, 57 are to be produced, by a factory that does not currently have a single license plate, in an upgraded 1111hp armored and fire-resistant version with inviolable anti-theft device. The cars will, of course, be produced in the future in a 275-thousand-square-meter plant also directed by Architect Bernardini, which will see the light of day in Saudi Arabia in the future and will employ hundreds of Arab engineers starting in the 2030s. A made in Italy made in Saudi Arabia. And it would be the first automobile factory in history located in one of those countries.
Evantra-MBS-ONE-1111-HP (render)
It is obviously all very interesting but also quite thrown forward in years, especially if we are talking about a hypercar.
In the meantime, however, the car will appear, not to mention, in the aforementioned film "Edward Loth - Najima The Fantastic City" and in various video games in the form of a flying tank in special effect mode since, as stated above, it does not exist. It all happens in that movie.
The good fortune, this time, is that on the Mazzanti Automobili website there is a reference to the communiquéeven though the words are the same as in Luxurious Magazine which itself reports the Tanal communiqué, as if Mazzanti is reporting the communiqué of others on its own initiative. "It looks like a Lotus," they say, but it is only a drawing. The car will be different. Mazzanti has not released information on this issue. We will have to wait a few years for the plant and then the cars to be produced. Patience is needed.
In the meantime, however, Tanal sends out his proclamations and the press takes them up confidently, and with partnerships declared and taken up by the press, it is a little easier to find other partnerships.
FANTASTIC TROPHY COMPETITION
In one of the releases regarding the association with VR46, in fact, perhaps one of the least read since it does not speak directly about Motogp, there is another rather curious initiative that deserves attention: the FANTASTIC TROPHY COMPETITION, defined as a new two-wheel sports competition designed by
Tanal Entertainment Sports & Media to create a new competition format with unique features. Unlike the best-known competitions, the release reads, Fantastic Trophy Competition uses two different types of courses: in the desert in Saudi Arabia and on dirt roads in Italy. As in all Tanal initiatives it starts in Umbria and ends in Saudi Arabia doing the Paris Dakar in a sort of Riad.
The format of the competition, the release continues, is similar to a video game: immersed in reality, using the interaction between two wheels, satellites, drones, hot air balloons; real-time interaction with the stable in the field and the audience at home. The use of advanced virtual reality, communication and navigation technologies, interactive platforms for digital and telemetry stream management will be provided by Korean Moroccan Holding Group, in collaboration with leading Korean players in the industry.
Let us not forget, however, that the Korean Moroccan Holding Group, turns out to be an association of Moroccan emigrants in Korea and has, if we are not mistaken, only one employee, its president, architect Bernardini, who of course if he believes can correct and disprove our claims. Not to mention that the telematic flows in other releases were entrusted to Maic.
Keep these two companies in mind.
However, in this case from a time perspective we are lucky because the final format will be presented by September 2021 and then, the release says, could announce a test race from November to December on two routes, one Italian and one Saudi.
One in KSA - in the desert from Fantastic City, which still as a city we remember, does not exist to KAEC on the Red Sea - and one on off-road tracks in Italy, starting in Tavullia, Gubbio and Terni, where MAIC Technologies is designing and building the first prototype four-wheel-drive off-road motorcycle with hybrid, thermal and electric propulsion, while plant production is planned in Saudi Arabia. Here there is a problem with an earlier release since the motorcycle seemed to be destined, as production in Terni. And Maic Technologies, according to another communiqué, we understood to be engaged in biometric sensing activities and not motorcycle production. From one release to another, MAIC and KMHG switched roles.
Fantastic Trophy Competition, the statement continues, will be a real hub for the selection of young Saudi riders, whose talent can emerge with the valuable support of VR46.
I wonder if in Saudi Arabia they know about this all-Italian opportunity to become like Valentino, Morbidelli and Bezzecchi as they race followed by drones, satellites and hot air balloons and audiences from home, on a four-wheel-drive hybrid motorcycle that will be built in the next few years in Saudi Arabia itself, or in Terni.
Following in the communiqué is praise for the Saudi Prince and Moroccan-Korean companies, chaired by Architect Bernardini, a recognized representative of Korean technology and Italian creativity. Of the latter, the communiqués are not lacking because of the efforts in urban planning, construction, technology and academia, there is no project actually implemented yet. And we hope that the Saudi prince will not be upset about this.
On the remaining communiqués regarding the specific agreements between Tanal Global and VR46, those with KSA New Cities AND ARAMCO as the target, little to add except that they all present the same stereotypes: projects yet to be realized, statements yet to be verified, one-sided communiqués, and partner companies appearing, always the same, in all the projects communicated by Tanal. And the one sponsor, ARAMCO, who no longer knows how to deny it.
For the rest, he was right, Architect Bernardini when he told me on his phone call that by well analyzing the network of news, releases and initiatives, the numbers would indeed add up.
The common thread is him: Marco Bernardini, administrator of Terni-based Systech, a company that makes electrical panels (so the web reports, since the company has no website), with a passion for Saudi Arabia, formerly resigned construction manager of Terni's Cardeto Park, and a proponent as a bystander of electric motorcycle projects that wanted to participate in the MotoE championship in 2017 (they didn't make it) and in later years of electric racing cars that never came to life, multifunctional energy towers that never went up, and Saudi smart cities that have yet to be built, with projects that have been thrown into the future for a few years but then, when the future arrives, are never seen. Another thing that leaves us doubtful is the fact that there is no record at the Architectural Association of Architect Marco Bernardini. There is a namesake of his but he has a practice in Liguria. We hope he is at least a surveyor. We can of course be wrong and are ready for any correction.
WHO IS LIKELY TO BE HARMED?
In all this web of events, communiqués and companies, the one who risks losing out is VR46 , which seems to be more used than sponsored. We called VR46 in the person of Uccio Salucci who, very courteously, confirmed the partnership with Tanal and to have already active sponsorships in CIV and CEV, with related financial support and fairing sponsors but, following our further requests, he directed us to Alberto Tebaldi who, however, busy, promised to call us back. We have been waiting for several days.
In addition to VR46, in an obviously marginal position, there is also. Ducati, which will have to provide two official bikes as well as technicians and engineers. Obviously the company is not in danger but there could still be some image damage or some element to reconsider.
As for Dorna , which is in danger of not being able to count on the flow of money that such a lavish sponsorship should bring, it will obviously make its contribution to the team, but it is clear that it would be faced with an uphill project that would have to seek another sponsorship, at this point, last minute.
In short, we are sure that the VR46 MotoGP team will happen and it will also be a success. Princes, fixers, oilmen-we believe it's all true. The only thing that does not add up for us is referring to the credentials so far exhibited by its sponsor. Which we will be glad to disprove.
IMPORTANT UPDATE
This article has been ready for a few days, about a week. We asked for clarification and gave it time to respond but received very aggressive approaches as well as unhinged reactions.
On Saturday, July 31, it came out on the important website GPONE an article regarding the launch of a press conference to be held in Riad although, uncharacteristically for such a release, the date is missing. We are sure GPONE will have done its due diligence. To us, however, it still doesn't add up.
There is a video in the release that is again a render and depicts the building made in the shape of an F1 car. What does this have to do with Tanal?
Also missing is ARAMCO in addition to SIg. Bernardini and the sponsors have become POTENTIAL.
What is that supposed to mean? Someone help us out here.

Bastianini è bello che spacciato. Adesso lo sa. Cioè lo sa dal primo momento in cui hanno presentato il team Avintia SKY VR46 dove lui è il cenerentolo che si è dovuto accontentare delle frattaglie di luce, comunicazione e considerazione che rimanevano, di rimbalzo, dalle presentazioni alle interviste, fino alle menzioni in telecronaca e tutto il repertorio da Istituto Luce che da anni caratterizza il motorsport tricolore.
Il campione del mondo della Moto2 diventava gregario del fratello di. Non ci si crede. Ebbene era evidente. E lo è tutt’ora nonostante il confronto sia impietoso.
Il team Avintia doveva solo cambiare nome in VR46… e forse marchio di moto. Adesso nemmeno più quello, dato che sono sempre più prepotenti le voci di accordo con Ducati. Insomma è fatta. E se non è fatta è un’ennesima figuraccia da parte della squadra di Tavullia dopo l’autogoal con ARAMCO, che prima era sulla bocca di tutti e adesso da una decina di giorni non si nomina più.
In realtà ci ha provato, VR46. L’operazione ARAMCO leggi anche fumo in faccia a Petronas, non è andata a buon fine.
La verità è che non è VR46 che ha scelto le Ducati (che costano anche di più), ma è Yamaha che ha scelto Petronas.
In doubt already for a while VR46, the company and all the publishing that for years has been crawling in the presence of the most profitable package and with the most glaring team/media conflict of interest in the history of motorsport, is trying to take Morbidelli home after turning him around so that, like a magnet, he has opposed the pole of attraction with Petronas, with Yamaha and with Forcada. It serves to repel them. It serves to make the dream team, that is, a team that has the owner's brother in it and one that is really going strong. It needs Morbidelli, and it needs to get rid of Bastianini.
Those who write that the VR46 riders will be Marini and Bastianini are lying hoping to lie. That would not be such a good story to tell.
A self-respecting VR46 team cannot have in its lineup the living, winning demonstration that you don't have to be part of the Academy to play in the Motorcycle A Series. Bastianini is proof that you can make a career for yourself, early and well. What kind of VR46 team would it be if "typical products" were not fielded?
Forse Enea è destinato a fare un solo anno terribile (oltre al resto di questo 2020 che già è bello pesante) nel caso non si trovi nessun altro, ma la realtà è che i pesaresi piuttosto su quella moto sarebbero capaci di metterci persino Bezzecchi. Perché altrimenti non sarebbe un team VR46 fatto a modo. Insomma se vedremo Bastianini su una moto VR46 sarà solo perché non saranno riusciti a segarlo.
E chi dice che tanto Bastianini è salvo perché è già in direzione Pramac, sappia che, ammesso che sia vero, magari i primi anni no, ma entro brevissimo, ci sarà guerra anche per avere le migliori Ducati possibili, soprattutto presentando Morbidelli in squadra.
That is, assuming there aren't already problems for next year, because it's unclear what level of officialdom the VR46 team will be able to aspire to, especially when they manage to bring home the Morbido. And believe us, that is the intent and it is being worked on hard.
To figure out who pays and how much. And to be figured out when the money comes in.
For Ducati, you've seen it, there's a purely racing part and a commercial racing part, and in this case, it really doesn't matter where the money comes from, but the first one that comes in has always been the one that lodges the best.
Sarà tutto vero come quando a ottobre 2020 abbiamo anticipato e messo in connessione la chiusura del team VR46 Moto3, l’interesse di una moto per Marini e la relativa cessione degli slot proprio ad Avintia a cui si lavorava per subentrare? Ottobre eh.
Basta stare un po’ attenti.
