Hearing he bought a van with his first paycheck instantly made me like the guy. Choosing something practical for training over a flashy car is exactly the money sense of a real rider, the kind I've watched up close over the years. Naming Martin and Bezzecchi that confidently, I'd bet on seeing his first win soon.

Not yet, but he's consistently near the top of the points standings.

Bet he ends up buying flashy cars eventually anyway though.
