“I understand his talent for what it is and how adaptable he is. As a quick example, I took him last year to the ranch at Valentino’s.“
“He’d never been there before. I’ve been there back in the day, and I know Senna’s a quick flat track rider, but he was… the 100 km race starts. He’s leading it.“
“And he was in the top few fastest guys during the race. He ended up crashing during that first stint, but that was the strategy. I’m like, ‘Go there and make a splash and let’s see what happens. At least you’re going to turn some heads.’“

“And he did, and he was one of the fastest riders in the race. And Valentino in the evening goes to me at the party, he was like… I won’t share exactly what he said.”
“But he was like, ‘Beep. That was super impressive. Beep beep! Senna’s got some skills.’ So, I’ll take it from him.“
