Elias, Pedrosa and Lorenzo signed autographs to more than 1000 people in Motocard Barcelona (C/Tuset 14)
Nobody with a passion for bikes can imagine a similar afternoon such as the last Wednesday in our new store in Barcelona.
Thanks to the collaboration of Dainese and Alpinestars we could enjoy all our Moto GP riders some days before celebrating the “Grand Premi Cinzano” in Catalonia and give them the much needed support for them to feel like they are racing at home!
Toni Elias, Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Loranzo were signing autographs from five in the afternoon to past eight o’clock (we almost had to throw them out!)
The day was a great success not only for the large attendance, but also because our riders left their leather suits in the paddock and made themselves available to the people especially to children who might be their successors.
In spite of all the commitments and work over the days previous to the Grand Prix, all the riders were able to meet their appointments punctually.

At seven Dani Pedrosa came with his manager Alberto Puig. For this meeting Dani, with Alpinestars, brought with him a surprise on his arm - eight year old Arnau Pagespetit rider of the Trofeo Luma with a 50cc Metrakit who might be a future star.
Arnau took the opportunity to exchange advice and opinions with Dani who gave him two pairs of Alpinestar boots, one pair signed and the others so that he can compete in a safer way. Dani helped him try them on and he showed his more humane side giving hope to this little fan.
For the more curious people, you can see a mini report that TVE did: press here.
From Motocard we want to thank Alpinestars and Dainese for their help to make the event possible. To the riders, Toni, Dani and Jorge, we thank them for their punctuality, their professionalism both on and off the track in order to see all of their fans.
We hope that in the future we can carry out new meetings such as the one that took place yesterday in the new Motocard centre in C/Tuset 14.
