• 1:26
  You're listening to the Be Forever Cool podcast.
• 1:28
  My name is Rex 45. Thank you for tuning in.
• 1:32
  We're going to jump right into it.
• 1:34
  Not a lot to talk about today. There's always a lot to talk
• 1:37
  about, but I think certain things are are good in in in
• 1:40
  small bites. So as we've been talking about
• 1:44
  this is our, I believe it's going to be our 4th episode and
• 1:48
  it's coming close to offseason. So it's time to start.
• 1:52
  You know I talked about you getting your bike prepped and
• 1:56
  all that fun stuff. I ain't talking about your funds
• 1:58
  because I can't help with that but you know we talked about
• 2:02
  that and and looking at a new maybe looking at a new race bike
• 2:05
  or new do you race bike. So we we we spoke about those
• 2:08
  those things in the last couple of episodes.
• 2:11
  And today's fitness, you know, and for everyone, it's a little
• 2:15
  bit different, I think, depending on your age.
• 2:17
  I'm no expertise, I'm no trainer by any stretch of the
• 2:19
  imaginations. But you know, everybody got
• 2:22
  access to the, I shouldn't say everybody, but most people have
• 2:24
  access to the Internet. So there's a lot of things that
• 2:27
  you can just do your own research on if you don't already
• 2:29
  have a trainer. But if you've been racing for a
• 2:31
  little while, you already thinking about training, you're
• 2:33
  already thinking about eating healthy, you're already thinking
• 2:36
  about building back up your your muscle mass so you can get
• 2:39
  through the season and stuff like that if you are.
• 2:41
  First season rider and you've only gotten in a couple of
• 2:46
  rounds. You know a couple of rounds and
• 2:48
  you know not that much. If you're still on the fence you
• 2:51
  may not be thinking about your shape yet.
• 2:54
  If you know if you I think if you want to decide if you're
• 2:57
  going to stick it out, I think you're going to say okay, let me
• 2:59
  look at my shape. Let me look at being in shape to
• 3:02
  make sure I can. You know I can ride the bike for
• 3:05
  the, for the, you know, the length of the duration of a
• 3:07
  race, because for me. In 20 I think it was 2014.
• 3:13
  It was my second year in and I took a class shout out to
• 3:17
  Penguin Racing school. I took a class at Penguin Racing
• 3:19
  School and and you know my issue was I I wasn't strong enough.
• 3:23
  So you know, I couldn't, like eventually I just got fatigue
• 3:28
  and you know, I asked the question, you know, what can you
• 3:30
  do when you when you're tired, what, you know, thinking, you
• 3:33
  know, maybe you might say hey do this, do that, but it's really
• 3:36
  like work out, that's it, There's there's there's no,
• 3:38
  there's no answer to fatigue. You have to work out so you
• 3:42
  know, depending on what kind of bike you're on, you know, you
• 3:45
  know where there is, you know, 400CC bike or whether it's a you
• 3:49
  know, middle weight bike or a super bike or you know you for
• 3:53
  different. You know if you the faster the
• 3:54
  bike is, the more shape you have to be in.
• 3:56
  How do I say fast and more powerful, right, The more shape
• 3:59
  you have to be in, right. So definitely the offseason is a
• 4:03
  good time to to build that up. And because it's harder in in in
• 4:08
  during this when the seasons start because you know unless
• 4:11
  you can only unless you're the type of person that only race
• 4:13
  and that's all you do Okay sure. But for most people they got day
• 4:16
  jobs and stuff like that. So it it makes it harder.
• 4:18
  But I find that if you work out to a certain level, I would
• 4:22
  probably say for me to act like you're training for a marathon.
• 4:27
  Because then when the seasons start, you're still, you know,
• 4:29
  by the end of the season you're still going to start to get
• 4:31
  fatigue is you're not going to be able to workout as much as
• 4:34
  you can when you're not racing and when you're not traveling
• 4:37
  and such. So the offseason is a good time
• 4:41
  just to really just beef up yourself.
• 4:43
  Get into shape you want to be in.
• 4:44
  So that way when the season start the first couple of rounds
• 4:48
  you know you're in you're in really good shape so that's
• 4:50
  going to make you feel better so give you more confidence that
• 4:53
  you that you can actually now break and not and not worry
• 4:56
  about your arms collapse and or whatever the case may be Or you
• 4:58
  know thinking about if it's if you want to do like one of the
• 5:02
  one of the Gto's the GTU races or something like that right.
• 5:05
  You know, you know you can do that.
• 5:07
  Or if you want to do a 8 lap or whatever it is, it is when you
• 5:10
  know that your body's not going to fail you.
• 5:13
  On the bike and it's a lot, it's easier to go racing, you know
• 5:17
  what I mean? Because you're not going to be
• 5:19
  tired, you're not going to be winded.
• 5:21
  You just going to, you just going to keep jumping on the
• 5:22
  bike and keep jumping on the bike and and that's going to
• 5:25
  just really improve things a lot.
• 5:26
  So definitely, if you're a new rider, look at different ways to
• 5:31
  work out most folks that race is, you know, cycling.
• 5:38
  Running because it's mostly lower body, abs, abs and lower
• 5:42
  body, your arms need to be in some shape.
• 5:44
  But if you look at the top Moto GP riders, none of them.
• 5:48
  I mean maybe Andre and Nonay, who's coming back, He was
• 5:51
  probably the most Jack rider in in Moto GP.
• 5:54
  So you don't have to be jacked to go ride a bike fast, but you
• 5:58
  do have to have endurance. You have to have your legs
• 6:00
  underneath you because a lot of it is your legs and and your
• 6:03
  abs. So if you got it underneath, you
• 6:05
  and your abs can hold you up and your legs can.
• 6:07
  And your legs can hold you up. You're gonna find riding is a
• 6:11
  lot easier. So a lot of cycling for the for
• 6:14
  everybody. But you know, for the old
• 6:15
  timers, you know all the people up there is obviously it's
• 6:18
  better to to be cycling than running.
• 6:20
  But either way it is about getting your endurance up.
• 6:23
  So, you know, definitely plan that in your offseason.
• 6:26
  And and get that going because you know that's that's the
• 6:30
  that's the biggest part of this whole thing is like once you're
• 6:32
  in shape, a lot of things become easier.
• 6:35
  Now it's just a matter of you know, learning your riding style
• 6:39
  or figuring out your riding style or how you want to ride
• 6:42
  and stuff like that and and and then just trying to get out
• 6:45
  there and just worry about see time.
• 6:47
  You don't have to worry about being fatigued.
• 6:48
  So, you know, offseason. You know, yoga is a good thing.
• 6:54
  Like I said, I cycle a lot, so I get a lot of cycling.
• 6:57
  I do situps like almost every day I tend to do pushups at
• 7:00
  these point. I don't, I don't really lift
• 7:02
  weights. I curl with weights and stuff
• 7:03
  like that and do some shoulder exercise with weights.
• 7:05
  But for the most part I I I really I just, it's more just
• 7:09
  endurance and it's mostly legs, squats and stuff like that,
• 7:12
  lateral squats, all that things. And just make sure that you
• 7:15
  know. Think about it.
• 7:16
  You know when you're on the bike and your body's hurting.
• 7:19
  The thing about all the muscles that are hurt and and look at
• 7:21
  exercises to strengthen those muscles you know what I mean?
• 7:25
  But you know that's that's kind of it in a nutshell.
• 7:28
  Obviously if you're on a smaller bike you don't have to work out
• 7:31
  as hard. I know there's riders out there
• 7:33
  that are bigger riders and stuff like that and and you you know
• 7:36
  you find time to relax on the bike when you can and stuff like
• 7:39
  that. So you know being in shape is is
• 7:41
  great but obviously you know like yeah there's definitely
• 7:44
  times on on certain tracks that you can rest in certain point
• 7:47
  and and relax as much. Well, you should be.
• 7:49
  Relaxed as much as possible right because that's the biggest
• 7:51
  fatigue is is when you're just tense all the time you know.
• 7:55
  So being relaxed is is the key but you know also finding where
• 7:59
  you can rest on the on the track and and and where you have to
• 8:01
  use your body. So, but you need to be in some
• 8:04
  shape you know and I think most riders are in shape because
• 8:07
  their muscles give out on them and and then they won't be
• 8:10
  riding. So you know that's that let's
• 8:14
  get into what's going on in in Moto GP because the rounds
• 8:17
  coming up. There in India at the end of
• 8:21
  this week, which I'm looking forward to but the big news is
• 8:24
  Frankie Mobadelli got signed to Primac Racing and I'm I'm I'm
• 8:29
  excited for that. We talked about that way we
• 8:31
  would go away we would go I I kind of figured he was going to
• 8:34
  end up on a a Ducati but it wasn't sure if it was going to
• 8:36
  be Grassini or or Primac at this point because the factory seats
• 8:40
  are already taken and also be off 46.
• 8:43
  So you know that that's huge for Frankie because he I do think.
• 8:49
  You know from what I've seen him, you know when he wanted the
• 8:53
  world title for Moto 2 and and his riding style and you know
• 8:57
  and then even when he was on Honda and and started winning
• 9:00
  and stuff like that on the 2019, like you know I still have to
• 9:05
  assume he's one of the best riders in the Academy.
• 9:08
  You know, I I I feel that way even though it doesn't seem like
• 9:10
  that because the way he is because of the knee injury and
• 9:14
  then you know, riding. On the Yamaha which outside of
• 9:19
  Fabio who now obviously is also struggling, they were struggling
• 9:24
  early on on that bike. So I do feel he is the best
• 9:27
  rider at the point at at at this point in in the VR46 Academy.
• 9:33
  But his his Rd. was just different than than PECO right
• 9:37
  And you see like Bez who's doing really well on the VR46 and and
• 9:42
  shout out to Bez for that right? Because he, I think it was
• 9:45
  helpful for him. It was.
• 9:46
  It was. Primary was his to lose you know
• 9:49
  I I I think and and Rossi you spoke to him about it.
• 9:52
  I have no idea what they talked about but he you probably kind
• 9:55
  of say hey yo you know I owe you one or something like that or we
• 9:59
  even or something like that right.
• 10:00
  Because at the end of the day more Badelli's coming from a
• 10:03
  factory team right. And so not to not to say VR46
• 10:08
  Academy is not a top tier team, but they kind of like you know
• 10:11
  them and they're they're below Grossini because they just, you
• 10:15
  know, they're like three years in, right?
• 10:18
  So you have to you know you have to really look at it that way
• 10:19
  that you know so you know them and Grassini are probably about
• 10:23
  the same you know what I'm saying but they kind of there.
• 10:25
  So for Bez and the way Bez has been riding this year he he
• 10:29
  probably should have got that Primax seat.
• 10:31
  So he he definitely have to give that up for more Badelli.
• 10:34
  And you know which is huge you know what I'm saying because I I
• 10:37
  I think if it if it wasn't if they weren't part of an Academy.
• 10:41
  You know writer is going to do that.
• 10:42
  I don't believe everybody wants to seat and and that's what it
• 10:46
  is right. You're fighting for your seat
• 10:47
  and you going to hold onto your seat as long as you can.
• 10:49
  So seeing you know Frankie Morbidelli getting assigned to
• 10:53
  Primac is is great. I you know looking at what Mark
• 10:57
  Marquette not Marquez we we'll find out what's going to happen
• 11:01
  with him. But looking at what Alex Marquez
• 11:03
  has done since moving to Ducati, I suspect.
• 11:10
  You know Morbid is going to have the same kind of year, but I
• 11:12
  think the feedback he's going to get from you know Peco and from
• 11:17
  Bez, I think he's going to, he's going to speed up.
• 11:20
  And if once he's once, I assume he's still on the contract with
• 11:23
  Yamaha so he can't test ride AVR AV4S or V or VR VR4 or our
• 11:32
  version of of of the Pentagon of V4 can't talk today, I don't
• 11:36
  know. But you know what I mean that.
• 11:38
  You know, so I think once he gets up to speed, so I'm looking
• 11:41
  forward to next year and seeing what he does on that bike and
• 11:44
  and I'm happy that he at least get one year and and you know,
• 11:47
  listen, I feel bad for, I think did San Antonio is going to lose
• 11:52
  his seat which is it which is the downside you know what I
• 11:57
  mean? You know, because it's so I
• 12:00
  don't want to say cutthroat. But if you're if you're not like
• 12:03
  an elite rider. If you don't.
• 12:05
  If you're not really shining right away Moto GP like you know
• 12:08
  you know your first year look at look at Fernandez.
• 12:12
  He hasn't resigned yet with gas. Gas right.
• 12:15
  I mean I feel bad because pay don't need to go somewhere but
• 12:18
  you know I mean he hasn't resigned to Jane Antonio only
• 12:21
  you know he's only a couple of years in.
• 12:22
  You know, you look at Ika Luko, owner who, you know, I to me, I
• 12:26
  felt he didn't get a good, a good, good.
• 12:29
  Like that that that was cold. You look at when you know Lowe's
• 12:32
  when he came in. You know you look at when
• 12:34
  Reading came in you know and so it it it's one of those things
• 12:39
  where you're like you don't know where it it's going to go.
• 12:42
  So you know that Moto GP ride it is crazy.
• 12:45
  So who knows the to where Mark Marquez is going to go for for
• 12:50
  for next year. But you know there's only a
• 12:52
  couple of seats left there's only two to the KTM and there's
• 12:55
  a Ducati seat so. And Pedro at the moment, because
• 12:59
  Viete and Anchu are on, you know, Akiyawa for next year, so
• 13:06
  he has to go somewhere. So he's either going on a Ducati
• 13:09
  or he's going on a KTM&KTM, ain't try and give him up.
• 13:11
  So I I feel like he's going to be on gas.
• 13:15
  Gas, you know, Pedro, that is. So it'll be interesting to see
• 13:19
  if Mark Marquez elect to jump from Honda in 2024 or ride it
• 13:24
  out. You know there's a side of me
• 13:26
  that says you know he should ride it out right to to to be
• 13:32
  the team player because Honda took care of him when he was
• 13:36
  riding high. You know, So I I there is a side
• 13:40
  of me that says like that that loyalty thing.
• 13:42
  And I don't. It seems to me you know and you
• 13:46
  know, I have no access to Moto GP like that, but it seems to be
• 13:50
  Marquez got treated better. Then Rossi got treated because
• 13:55
  Rossi left and went to Yamaha, even though he he won titles
• 13:58
  with them. You know what I mean?
• 14:01
  So and and and so, you know, I think that there's something
• 14:04
  there that, you know, he Marquez might have to take an L for
• 14:08
  2024, you know what I mean? And just write out the contract
• 14:11
  and then see what happens after that.
• 14:13
  A lot of dudes are on one year contract, so there's going to be
• 14:16
  a lot of teams. Up for grabs.
• 14:18
  So next year is going to be very cutthroat in that sense that
• 14:21
  there's still going to be a lot of riders, you know, fighting
• 14:23
  for their seat, you know, even though Bastionini has been hurt,
• 14:30
  like, you know, like his seat's up for grab after 2024.
• 14:34
  So you never know what's going to happen.
• 14:37
