Riding a Kawasaki H2 to chase the high-speed rail, the school beauty was moved to tears

Last year there were two candidates for another factory team position, Martin and Nini, but this year there are three.

Qin Chuan didn't care about this third person at first because he thought the probability was very small. However, it was this third person who caused the change.

The candidate is the Horse King.

Qin Chuan felt that his chances were low not because he did not believe in the strength of this eight-time champion, but because the sponsor of this eight-time champion was red moo.

In his opinion, it is not cost-effective to give up years of sponsorship for a racing team.

Green Claw and Red Moo, the two biggest sponsors of MotoGP, rarely appear on the same person. It is almost an unwritten rule in the paddock that their sponsorships would conflict.

Red Moo generally does not sponsor Monster Energy-sponsored drivers, and vice versa.

In recent years Green Claw has sponsored Ducati, and as we all know, the eight-time champion is a sponsored rider of Red Moo and has sponsored him for many years.

This creates conflict.

Ever since the eight-time champion came into the public eye, he has been the sponsored driver of Red Moo.

If mm93 joins the Ducati factory team, according to the GP tradition, when there is a conflict between the personal sponsor and the team sponsor, the personal sponsor should give way and give up Red Moo? Qin Chuan thinks this is unlikely.

At first he didn't believe the eight-time champion could do it.

But this time, something unexpected happened and he misjudged.

The eight-time champion concluded his interview in Portugal by making clear his desire for a Ducati factory car, and in addition indicated that he could give up the red moo that has sponsored him for many years.

This was really beyond Qin Chuan's expectations.

The biggest problem between the two is the sponsorship of red moo. With a sponsorship of up to 40 million euros a year, Qin Chuan never thought that the eight-time champion would give it up. After all, this is real money. As a result, he really gave it up.

All we can say is that the eight-time champion's thirst for racing and championship has reached its peak.

Or maybe he has confidence in himself, and sponsorship is obviously more important than the championship.

Putting aside sponsorship and solving this problem, Qin Chuan estimates that mm93 has a greater chance of joining the factory team than Martin. Without red moo's intervention, Martin's chances of winning are slim, after all, that person is the eight-time champion.

The popularity of the eight-time champion alone will cause Ducati's stock price to soar, and this is not something that can be solved simply by strength.

It is worth mentioning that just after the eight-time champion finished the interview, the person in charge of Ducati inexplicably said something.

Specifically, a reporter asked him about next year's candidate. The person in charge was very conflicted at first, but in the end.

The answer given by the person in charge was ambiguous yet clear, and one sentence went straight to the point.

"We don't just look at a driver's single-season record, we also look at his historical record, which is very important."

This sentence is very meaningful.

In the paddock, it is almost without exception that Rossi is the strongest in terms of historical record after his retirement.

It is this eight-time world champion who represents a gap.

Is it a two-way journey?

Qin Chuan touched his chin and a casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He just smiled casually, he was just enjoying the show, it didn't matter to him who went to the factory team.

This is the only message from Pedrosa that deserves his attention. It doesn't matter to him who joins the factory team. In a nutshell, just do it.

But this made him notice something very special.

It was Martin, who might have been able to draw on that.

Faced with the media's fermentation, Martin was very optimistic this time, as if he also knew that his chances were very small.

In Martin's state, Qin Chuan sensed something subtle.

Martin had not considered it before because the other party said that he must go to the factory team, but according to reliable information, the quotations from these European factories were very small.

The reason why Martin is eager to join the factory team is actually very simple, it's because of money.

Having given up the advantages of the car, Martin still doesn't have much money. He is now in distress. In the GP paddock, if you ask whether the European factory is richer or the R factory is richer, it must be the latter.

Although Qin Chuan didn't want to admit it, this was the fact. After all, that was the foundation.

The latter are more generous in offering salaries, and the highest salaries for GPs throughout history generally come from the latter.

Martin is now in a dilemma: whether to leave or not. If he leaves, his salary will not meet his expectations.

This is what made Qin Chuan feel a hint of loophole.

If he had a racing team, this problem could definitely be solved perfectly.

The thing he has the most is money!

However, this matter needs to be considered in the long term.

"Starting tomorrow, contact Martin and find out what this kid is talking about."

"what do you mean?"

"Let's see whether this kid cares more about the factory team or the money."

Qin Chuan spoke casually to Jiang Yue and didn't take it too seriously.

There are very few opportunities for first-line drivers. Apart from Xiao Kua, Martin is definitely a first-line driver nowadays. You can seize the opportunity, but if you can't, then forget it.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the plane landed at the US airport.

Qin Chuan, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, pulled Jiang Yue as they walked off the plane. KTM's special car, a business car, had already arrived at the airport gate.

The streets in the United States are not very safe at night, so a car is necessary.

A business car, Jenny was driving, and Li Mengniel and the other man were sitting at the door.

After Qin Chuan got in the car, the car started quickly and drove towards the US track.

RVs and a host of other things have already arrived there.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Chuan finally saw the entire picture of the US track with his own eyes.

The night breeze was blowing, Qin Chuan stood in the audience seats overlooking the entire track. He was in the finish line stands, but at this moment he could not see the entire track clearly.

The American Circuit is the longest circuit Qin Chuan has ever seen, and its area is also one of the largest. It has many turns and the altitude fluctuates. Half of the view from the finish stand is blocked by the ups and downs of the track.

"How is it? Do you find it difficult?"

Pedrosa stood beside Qin Chuan and said with a little concern.

There are two straight lines in the United States. This is Ducati's advantageous section. Pekomar King Martin has a good historical performance here and he is very worried about Qin Chuan.

This is Qin Chuan's first time here.

Qin Chuan's eyes swept towards Turn 2, and looking down, after Turn 2, there were more than five consecutive somersaults, like a twisted snake, twisting left and right on the ground.

You can tell that this track is difficult just by looking at it for the first time.

After a long time, Qin Chuan's eyes became deep and firm.

"Don't worry, even if I can't win the championship, I can still stand on the podium."

Qin Chuan spoke, and Pedrosa nodded upon hearing his words, not putting too much pressure on Qin Chuan.

The next morning, helicopters were hovering over the U.S. racetrack. The U.S. racetrack, which had been deserted yesterday, was now packed with people. Flags were waving on the track, which covered an area larger than several hundred football fields, and the number 93 flag was flying all over the sky.

The king of Milan, the eight-time champion is extremely popular here and has won seven races.

"Welcome to the third stop of the year in MotoGP. This weekend we are at the Austin Circuit in the United States. The United States Grand Prix will officially kick off today."

"I am your commentator Xiao Zhang!"

"I am Wei Ran."

At 8:30 in the morning, Wei Ran and Xiao Zhang appeared at the commentary desk on time. The sun was shining brightly on the track. The temperature was quite good today and the sun had already come out in the morning.

"Wuhu Wuhu, I finally waited until the US station. Do you know how I spent this week without competition?"

"Extra, Extra, King Mi is back for a limited time, let's see how King Ma kills everyone today!"

"Come on, Master Qin! Beat these European guys!"

"I love you, hubby! Come on!"

"..."

In the audience, the car fans were in high spirits. Qin Chuan stood at the door of the P room and waved to the fans as a greeting.

According to official data, a total of 210,000 people came to the US station. He was accustomed to this number of people.

“After coming to Europe, it’s more advantageous for these drivers.”

John stood next to Qin Chuan and sighed softly, but there was not much pressure on his face. The driver next to him was the strongest and most talented driver he had ever seen in his more than 40 years of career. He had absolute confidence in his partner.

"It's okay. They have advantages, and I have advantages too."

Qin Chuan said calmly that he could feel that as the competition went on, his strength was still increasing.

After standing at the door of the P room for a while, Qin Chuan returned to the P room and started changing clothes before the practice match was about to begin. The first practice match would officially begin at nine o'clock.

As soon as Qin Chuan stepped into the P room, Wei Ran and Xiao Zhang began to introduce the US track.

"The Austin circuit has a total of 20 corners and two long straights. Turns 2 to 9 are regular fast continuous turnaround corners, and Turns 12 to 15 are continuous reverse hairpin turns."

"The highest elevation point is at Turn 1..."

“This is a very difficult track that really tests the drivers’ pace.”

Almost all car fans know how difficult the US track is, and those who don’t know will have a general idea of ​​it after seeing this track.

At nine o'clock, Qin Chuan changed into a leather jacket and stood at the door. An RC16 was pushed out from behind him.

The US station still has ordinary racing prints, but if it is in Shanghai, KTM will probably customize special prints for Qin Chuan.
