Mini-Dad Code, Rule #17- do not disassemble your sons works parts to see how they are made
Mini-Dad Code, Rule #2- do not piss off The Man
Stay thirsty, my friends.

A. Yes, it is true. I am very close to my son, but in any case, it would be impossible to create a classic father-son relationship with him. Because a father would always want to give advice to his son, and as I mentioned it earlier, in Valentino's case it's out of the question. Our relationship is therefore quite different, maybe more intimate. Valentino led quite an ordinary life at the age of five, ten and even at fifteen; but it is always difficult to control a teenager. The parent can do only one thing, which is the most important one at the same time. He can give his son the opportunity to get to know different things, people and life situations, so after that he can decide it for himself which one of these will be his ideal. The parent can do no more than that.
For example I get on well with Carlo Pernat, and I also have a good relationship with Aprilia. This is how at the beginning of his career Valentino started to ride on Aprilia, and Carlo also helped us. So my son was able to meet quite a few people, and a new situation, from which he could learn a lot, and this is how I helped him the most.
sounds like great advice tony, take it
Just a shotgun blast in a general direction.
That was a very good read for sure.
I also witnessed a top rider fall apart from such,
though he'll remain nameless.
Again, it's all in how you deal, & many are over the top
for sure, but there's good ones too.
I've always wondered how it rolls in football, baseball, etc.,
I mean there's only players in the dug-outs.
Sure, I could write a book on all this I think, but then again
any who are anything in sport, in most cases got there thru
their parents help, guidance & financial support plain & simple!
Sometimes the apples have worms, sometimes they don't.....!
That's life, that's sport, that's racing.............
