How did your passion for motorcycles begin?

Honestly, there’s no real explanation. My parents weren’t into that world at all, but ever since I was little, I’ve been obsessed with riding motorcycles.

Whenever I had the chance, I would hop on a motorcycle, pester my uncles to take me for a ride, follow them to motocross events… That’s really how it all started.

Since I wouldn’t give up, one day, a distant cousin gave me my first competition moped when I was 13. And that’s when it all really took off.

What are your goals for the coming months and years?

My goal is very clear: I just finished second in the World Endurance Championship in the Production category, and second place is the first loser.

So I want to go back and win the world title in the same category.

At the same time, I want to continue practicing with passion, maintain the determination I’ve always had, and pass on what I’ve learned. As long as I have the will to win, I want to keep going.

What is your fondest memory of motorcycle racing?

Without hesitation, one of the pivotal races of 2023, during the 400 championship at Carole.

It was raining, and I’m very strong in the rain. During the first race, I fell while I was in the lead. For the second race, the team told me to play it safe… but I replied:

“No, I want to win.”

It was still raining, but I won that race.

That moment had a profound impact on me: it proved to me that anything is possible with commitment and a strong mindset. That victory was a cornerstone for the rest of the season.

What kind of content do you share on Nohô?

On Nohô, there are two essential aspects for me:

Sharing my experience:

My parents weren’t into motorcycles, so I had to figure things out on my own, which took a lot of energy and sometimes led to mistakes that could have been avoided.

I want to help enthusiasts save time, better understand this world, and avoid the wrong paths. I am a motorcycle enthusiast at heart, and I want to support young people, the curious, and future riders.

Really introducing people to the world of motorcycling:

I would also like to offer a two-part experience: a technical and personal discussion about competition, followed by an immersion with me during a training session or a trip, depending on the possibilities.

When I discovered Nohô, it immediately spoke to me. I felt that there was something beautiful to be created around sharing passion and passing on knowledge.
