Thailand MotoGP: Fabio Quartararo and Francesco Bagnaia react to Aron Canet’s claim that he was rejected due to his tattoos
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia called it “strange” that teams may be biased against someone with lots of tattoos, but 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo a🔥dmitted he understands why 𓄧some brands may have that attitude.
The Flexbox HP40 rider broke the bowtie which had become his trademark, then revealed to Spanish outlet that it was a messageꦬ to those who judged 🧜him for his tattoos.
"The bow tie is a message to some people inside the paddock and outside it who have labeled me this or that thing without knowing me and for having tattoos, in a dis𒊎criminaꦯtory way,” he said.
“You are not a🍃 better or worse person for having tattoos. Some saw me as a murderer for havꦫing my body tattooed, when in fact I am the same kid as when I was 16 years old and I did not wear them.
"We have the same gas with or without tattoos and I am the same person and the same elite athlete, the one who gets up in the morning to train at ho😼me, in Andorra, and having tattoos does not have to make you a better or worse person, the same𝓡 as wearing a bow tie.”
Ca൲net revealed how some teams opted against signing him due to his image.
“It turns out that we were in negotiations with several 🐟teams of various categories and some rejecte♚d me because I wore tattoos and more nonsense,” he claimed.
“And🌜 outside the paddock I have also been crossed out as things without knowing me, because of my image.
“I can understand that I like reggaeton and another likes hard rock, but that's why I don't treat him worse or I'm going to discriminate aဣgainst him.
"What I want to make clear is that by having tattoos you are not a worse person or a bad person, f💧ar from it. You are the same person.”
Quartararo, who also has large tattoos, was asked about Canet’s claims ahead of the Thai🍬land MotoGP and said: “For sure, he has a lot of tatt﷽oos!
“But I can understand, also, the teams.
“I knoཧw how, for some brands, ꦉit is important to have no tattoos. Some do not care.
“It is sad because he is a really strong rider.
“Hopefully, if he is ready to ღmove to MotoGP, I ho𓆉pe he finds someone.”
Bagnaia added: “I think it is♏ strange we haveꦑ problems like this.
“It doesn’t me꧙anꦅ anything if we have a lot of tattoos.
“For a team to reject you because you have tattoꦰos?♋ It is something I do not understand.”
