February 21, 2027, all teams and riders lined up on Botafogo Beach in Rio for the season launch -- just hearing that gets my blood up before the season's even started. That 2026 Goiânia GP data, 150,000 fans and a sellout, tells you the passion in South America is real -- I've seen it up close. From Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur, now Rio.
