Guido Caprino, interview on motorcycles

In Naples, on the occasion of the Grandi Series Silver Nastri Award, we met Guido Caprino, winner of the ribbon for best assets for the series The art of joy by Valeria Golino (on Sky). Taormina’s actor has always been a great motorcycle enthusiast, preferring motocross. Here’s what he told us.

How did the passion for two wheels come about?
“I grew up in a country where there was always someone who was driving a bike. For half of my life I dreamed of having one, then came, even if a little late. My parents did not want to buy it. As a boy I always used the bikes of others. With a friend of mine we took the gori of his brother and we went around the countryside risking his life every day. It was the unconsciousness of adolescence”.

How old are you?
“Eleven, twelve. I started very soon to drive.”

What was your first bike?
“I took it in the late age, it was a Honda XLR. Before I used my sister’s hello. I did anything with that moped. In the meantime the passion for motocross was born, grown thanks to a friend and a large driver in my area like Marco Mainardi. I followed all his races, he was a specialist on the beach, he made Marecross”.

Have you tried too?
“Yes, but I never competed. Then the passion exploded with the companies of Antonio Cairoli, who continues to give us many joys”.

You are also Pitito di MotoGP.
“Yes, thanks to the insured and only Valentino Rossi, the greatest of all. I like his companies. I remember that when I had moments of crisis his race was enough to make me come back.

Today who is passionate about the drivers?
“I hope Bagnaia overcomes this critical moment. I think it is a very strong pilot. I cannot help but try a certain admiration for Marc Márquez, despite having sworn not to cheer it after the question of the biscuit. It was not a nice page of sport. Beyond this, I think it is the strongest of the moment”.

Now what motorcycle do you have in the garage?
“Every now and then I enjoy making Enduro with my Honda CR 250 two times. I don’t want to sell it, even if the spirit has changed: I no longer have the unconsciousness of before. The famous couple is pure emotion. Now I prefer to live with memories, I find it useless to create expectations and then disappoint them. However I still turn around alone. dangerous “smiles.

What does the bike give you when you get on the saddle?
“On the one hand, have control of a car, on the other hand I am surprised by the same car. I find the symbiosis man-macchina fascinating. And then I like the spirit of aggregation that is created between centaurs”.
