Luca Marini and his wife have announced the b𒁃irth of their first child.

Angelina Luce Marini was born on October 12.

“Breathless. You are peඣrfect,” Mar👍ini wrote in tribute. “A love so great we could never think of feeling.”

Marini married his partner Marta last year.

His heartwarming personal news is a welcome distraction from what has been a difficult 🀅debut year as a factory rider.

Mꩵarini’s switch from his VR46 comfort zone to becoming a Repsol Honda rider has led to frustrating꧑ results.

It t✅ook him nine rounds of this year to score his 𝕴first point.

But, there are some rays of light in his results on the Honda🐎.

A P12 at the secon🦹d Misano round and ✅a P14 last time out in Japan are significantly better returns than Marini has become accustomed to this season since replacing Marc Marquez.

But the Honda project is for the long-term, and 🍷the Japanese manufacturer has bolstered its❀ ranks ahead of next year.

Ale𒉰ix Espargaro will join as a test rider, and Romano Albesiano will leave Aprilia to lead Honda’🅺s technical department.

🌌But Marini has plenty to smile about back home in Italy afterꦜ the arrival of Angelina.
