“I don’t know what to say. Well, yes, that I am the happiest boy in the world and that I have only done what I know how to do best, run to the fullest, and do what they tell me: you, calm and ‘palante’ & rdquor ;. Ladies and gentlemen, before you, the new value, sorry, another of the new values of Spanish motorcycling, a factory to generate kids that fly low, at more than 200 km/h. What David Munoza boy from Brenes (Seville)only 16 years and 4 days old, who has become the ‘bombshell’ of the Catalan Grand Prix by achieving, not only his first podium finish in his second race at the Moto3 World Championshipbut to be second in Montmelobehind the Mallorcan Izan Guevaraanother one, and ahead of the rest of the great pilots of the small category.
Among the ‘kings’
When I say a ‘child’ it is because, in effect, Muñoz arrived at the Moto3 World Championship without the possibility of racing…yet, since he had not turned 16 years old and had to wait for the Italian Grand Prix, seven days ago, in Mugello to run his first race among the greats. And, a few days later, boom!, he gives the bell, at the Circuit, becoming the great protagonist of the day by rubbing shoulders with the best such as Guevara, the leader of the World Cupl Sergio Garcia Dols, Dennis Foggia, Tatsuki Suzuki either James Masia.
Muñoz’s race today was impeccable, risking everything and not making a single mistake, risking everything with García Dols and Suzuki and taking silver, an impressive prize for having been in the paddock for only two days. “I know that everyone has more races than me, more experience than me, more means than me, but on the track we are all the same, right? and there I go out for my thing, which is to run to the fullest & rdquor ;, Muñoz pointed out to the DAZN microphone.

Muñoz has acknowledged that he has spent a few horrible months while he was on the bench without being able to race, waiting to turn 16 to be taken out on the track as the best of the thoroughbreds. “There have been weekends when I didn’t want to watch the practice sessions or the race, to be honest, and I just wanted my time to come. Maybe that’s why I’m trying to take advantage of it with all my soul & rdquor ;.

I know the bar is already very high, but I’m not afraid. If I have come this far it is to try to always be ahead. That is one of my qualities, I think: arrive and stay with those in front, regularity & rdquor ;.
The Andalusian ex-pilot Joseph Louis Cardosoa charming person, told El Periódico that his pupil and protégé, David Muñoz, “is one of the great things that has happened to me in this life, among other things because he is a wonderful, professional young man who trusts the people around him. He is very fiery, but he learns very quickly. I, the truth, despite knowing how much he is worth, did not believe that he would give us such great joy so soon and I am afraid that my heart is not prepared to bear them, but everything is for its progression and success”.
