I’m still the same guy behind all the tattoos—someone who gives gas.
There is more and more talk about the Spanish rider’s many tattoos, which teams and sponsors don’t like. Canet breaks the silence. Irene: “I raced with him, appearances are deceptive, he’s a very good guy” . Pecco says “strange we still have problems like this” . He says: “Canet is really strong, I hope he finds a team”
There have been times in the past when Aaron Canet has stood on the stage wearing a bow tie. Some observers think it’s just a sign of a simple, carefree spirit, which is common among riders at parties. However, the recent controversy over the Flexbox rider’s many tattoos seems to have finally shed more light on the issue.
It all began on the podium at Mugello in 2021.
“It turns out that we were in talks with a number of different teams,” Canet told AS. “Some turned me down because I had tattoos and other s𝔱upid reasons.” I have also been crossed out outside the field as things that don’t know me because of how I look. Even though I like reggaeton and someone else likes hard rock, I won’t treat him worse because of it. Otherwise I’ll be biased against him.
If you were Spanish, this kind of discrimination didn’t go over well at all. In fact, it got so bad over time that it may have even been bad luck. Because of this, Aaron chose to speak out and make his point clear once and for all.
“The bow tie is a message to some people inside and outside the paddock who have called me names before they knew me or because I have tattoos, which is unfair.” Having tattoos doesn’t make you better or worse. “Some thought I was a k𝖎llєr because I have tattoos on my body, but I’m still the same kid I was when I was 16 and didn’t have them,” the Spaniard said.
“I think this part of the championship has shown that I can make it to the top three with or without a bow tie.” We have the same gas whether we have tattoos or not, and I am the same person and top athlete who gets up in the morning to train at home in Andorra. Having tattoos doesn’t make you a better or worse person, just like wearing a bow tie doesn’t make you a better or worse person.
Finally, the mys𝔱ery has been solved, and it looks like Aaron Canet will not need it anymore. Its goal has been met.
“I have won seven podiums, three pole positions, and several fastest laps, so I am the same rider and person as always. I also give gas.” “The bow tie was a sign; let’s break it,” he said in the end.
The story has clearly made a lot of people in the field think. First, here are some of the riders who wanted to say what they thought about it.
“He definitely has a lot of tattoos!” quipped Quartararo. “But I can also see why the teams would do that.” I know that for some brands, it’s important not to have any scars. Some people don’t care. He is a very strong rider, so it’s sad. He should be able to find someone to move to MotoGP if he is ready.
“It’s weird that we’re having these kinds of problems,” Bagnaia said. “Having a lot of tattoos doesn’t mean anything.” For a team to turn you down because you have tattoos? I don’t get it.
