3
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,760
I'm in charge of social media
for our three teams

4
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,640
and 96% of our followers are men.

5
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,360
It's always been said,
"If a girl races a bike she's crazy."

6
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,000
There are many more men than women
in the world of motorbikes.

7
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,400
I'm one of the few female mechanics.

8
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,280
If you see 35 people, you don't know
their sex because of the helmet.

9
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,360
You take it for granted they're men
because of your culture, your biases.

10
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,240
You see 35 men.

11
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,160
It surprised me.
I thought it was brave of a girl

12
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,000
to be part of a world
that was dominated by men up to now.

13
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:24,200
She had something special
even as a little girl.

14
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,480
Apart from the fact she's a girl
in a man's world.

15
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:31,440
From what I gathered,
she was very clear about her future.

16
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240
Women are very underrepresented
in motorcycling.

17
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,640
She's a woman in a man's world.

18
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,720
I'm Ana Carrasco, I'm 22 years old,

19
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,360
I'm from a village in Murcia
called Cehegín,

20
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,040
and I'm a world championship
motorcycle rider.

21
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,800
My dream has always been
to become world champion.

22
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,240
I'm one of the lucky few
who has actually achieved it.

23
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,240
My dad is the main reason
why we're talking about this today.

24
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,080
My dad always used to take us
to do sport together,

25
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,800
to go running in the mornings,
cycling in the mountains.

26
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,240
We bought a motorbike so the three
of them could try it out.

27
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,360
She took snacks and sandwiches.

28
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,200
The kids were getting on and off
the bike all the time.

29
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,280
We gave them a snack

30
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,080
and spent the afternoon that way,
sort of like a hobby.

31
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,160
It started off as a hobby and...

32
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,760
as a way of having fun,
like going out on a bicycle.

33
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,760
She'd ride a mini motorbike...

34
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,520
and that way she'd play and have fun.

35
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,240
The three of us would go everywhere
with my mum and dad.

36
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:24,240
Yes, we'd get on the motorbike
right from when we were little.

37
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,480
We all had the same opportunities
to ride bikes as my sister Ana.

38
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,280
First, my sister María Victoria,
then my sister Ana, then me.

39
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,400
María Victoria didn't like it,
I thought it was fun,

40
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,880
but I preferred playing football,
so in the end...

41
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,400
the motorbike was left sitting there.

42
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,040
Time went by.

43
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:48,920
Her sister didn't want to carry on

44
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,480
because when she fell over
she realised it was dangerous.

45
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,320
I started crying and said
I didn't want to carry on,

46
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,480
I didn't want to ride the bike again
because I was afraid. So I got off.

47
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,920
Her little sister was over the moon,
now the bike was hers.

48
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,320
It was our hobby,

49
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,520
but Ana was the one who was into it.

50
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,720
As parents, we supported her

51
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,400
as much as we could
when she demanded things.

52
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,800
I was given my first bike as a present
when I was three

53
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,040
and I made my dad put it in my room
so I could sleep with it.

54
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,480
When I was four I wanted to race,
but they wouldn't let me.

55
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,440
I cried for three days solid
until they agreed.

56
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,600
We started taking her
so that she would have fun,

57
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,720
but actually she was the one
who got us involved in the races.

58
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,520
She was competing by the time
she was four.

59
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,720
We're finally joined by the star.
Gosh, Ana, you go so fast.

60
00:05:52,130 --> 00:05:53,229
Yes.

61
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,560
How come you ride so well?

62
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,440
Well...

63
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,280
I don't know.

64
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,200
You accelerate in some spots
and brake in others.

65
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,160
How come you ride so well?

66
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,120
I accelerate quickly and brake late.

67
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,240
You're just a kid, aren't you scared
to ride such a big bike?

68
00:06:13,242 --> 00:06:14,242
No.

69
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,400
No? Well I'd be scared.

70
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,200
It doesn't scare me.

71
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,000
How do you concentrate in a race?
What do you do?

72
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,080
What do you think about on the bike?

73
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,680
I imagine that it's just training
and that I'm by myself.

74
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,000
What do your parents say?

75
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,080
They say I'm the best.

76
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,320
Do you want to be a professional
motorbike rider when you grow up?

77
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:38,960
Yes.

78
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,840
Who do you want to be like?
Who's your idol?

79
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,400
Dani Pedrosa.

80
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,440
Ladies and gentlemen: Dani Pedrosa.

81
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,320
Álex Márquez.

82
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,520
Ana Carrasco.

83
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,800
Yes, I think that the goal
is to be here every year.

84
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,240
I think that it helps to encourage
the presence of women in motorcycling.

85
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Seeing that women like Laia Sanz,
or me in this case,

86
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,520
are obtaining good results
in traditionally more male categories.

87
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,720
That helps the grassroots to grow.

88
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,320
I'm very pleased to be here
yet another year,

89
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,040
it's a sign that last year
was a great season for us.

90
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,480
The feeling on the grid
when you have your eyes shut...

91
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,920
You have to say to yourself,
"I'm in charge because I'm here."

92
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,040
Today we have one hope
of winning the championship.

93
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,160
Today is the day.

94
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,600
Okay, Mara, we go in with P6.

95
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,160
Come on, come on, come on!

96
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,280
Come on, damn it.

97
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,480
56-2-1. Hendra has made 56-5
but she's slightly ahead.

98
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,960
She was two tenths faster
in the first half-time.

99
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,120
Oh, Dad! Dad!

100
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,640
-I couldn't overtake.
-That doesn't matter.

101
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,360
You did a great job.
You did a great job, believe me.

102
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,800
I couldn't overtake him.

103
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,840
-He was blocking me.
-You did a great job, take it easy.

104
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,840
Relax.

105
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,560
Take it easy. You got third position.

106
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,960
-Enjoy, we'll look at it later.
-I'm pissed off.

107
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,120
Just enjoy your result.

108
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,640
After a bad result
like the one we got,

109
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,600
she'd burn down everything.

110
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,160
She'd burn the box, everything.
She's very angry.

111
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,360
I'm not crazy. If the bike is fine,
I go fast. If it isn't, I don't race.

112
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,600
Ana is very demanding.

113
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,200
She likes everything to go...

114
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,600
as smoothly as possible.

115
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,680
-The front one...
-Yes.

116
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,920
I get a weird feeling...

117
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,960
And that makes her demand
a lot of others. Even me.

118
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,960
She can be demanding with me.
Sometimes...

119
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,440
I forget things that she is very
clear about...

120
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,800
and we end up...

121
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,360
having our differences.

122
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:47,480
When Ana is angry....

123
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,680
Wow.

124
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,520
He was messing about with me.

125
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:53,880
I was telling him to go for it.

126
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,200
And he was like this.

127
00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:00,440
Out of twelve laps,
we can't screw up ten.

128
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,400
We just can't.

129
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,640
What I mean by "wow"
is that I've seen her angry...

130
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,320
and I find it cool.

131
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,840
It's cool because she's explosive.

132
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,680
I lost it on the run-off area...

133
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,920
-I saw it from up there.
-Bloody hell.

134
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,800
If they don't go fast,
you catch them up in three turns.

135
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,960
They told me when I joined the crew.

136
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,640
"Careful with Ana when she's angry,
she doesn't mince her words."

137
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,840
Ana is really good.

138
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,520
I've seen a lot of riders

139
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:36,480
and the time comes
that when you see one racing,

140
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,120
you realise how good they can be.

141
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Go for it, Ana! Go for it! Go for it!

142
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,680
She's very communicative.

143
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,240
Then you check it out with the data

144
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,120
and see that's she's right.

145
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,820
She helps quite a bit
when tuning-up the bike.

146
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,440
It needed to be half a tooth longer
on the crank trigger.

147
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,600
It's hard for me
to stop the bike here.

148
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,680
The change we made
to the fork has got worse.

149
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,520
I think that when Ana is on the bike

150
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:14,920
she feels everything or nothing.
I think that’s when

151
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,920
she can completely let herself go

152
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,400
and feel free.

153
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,960
What I liked about riding
is that I could be myself.

154
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,640
It was what I liked doing,

155
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,520
I was by myself and I could do
whatever I wanted.

156
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,640
There is nothing that lets you

157
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,240
feel that free, that independent.

158
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,200
Jesus. This girl really races.

159
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,200
She gives her all,
you see her working every day,

160
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,160
doing sport every day,

161
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,760
being careful about what she eats.
She's super strict.

162
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,880
I enjoy riding fast.

163
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,960
Feeling that everything is going fine
and I can do what I want.

164
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,440
I love the feeling of speed on a bike.

165
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,640
She says that it feels like
she's sprinting all the time.

166
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,920
That is what is fun for me, but...

167
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,680
it's very different

168
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,480
getting on a bike to have fun
and getting on it to win.

169
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,480
She's competitive in everything.
Since she was little.

170
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,280
She couldn't lose at a video game,
she couldn't lose a football match.

171
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,800
She always ended up quarrelling
because she always wanted to win.

172
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,560
We went on holiday where there was
a racing circuit nearby.

173
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,440
We spent the morning on the beach,
they'd play like all the other kids.

174
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,080
And in the afternoons,
training at the circuit.

175
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,440
There was always a circuit somewhere
on all the holidays we ever took.

176
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,520
We could go and play with the others.
If we went out to play.

177
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,960
There were maybe 10 or 20
other families

178
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,920
who were doing the same thing.
They liked it and had fun.

179
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,480
It was a lifestyle
that made them happy.

180
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,120
It was always motorbikes, motorbikes,
motorbikes. She wanted more.

181
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:32,240
But it kept on growing and there comes
a time when you can't stop it.

182
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,760
You see that she likes it,
she enjoys it.

183
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,680
I think that it was something that
we enjoyed and had fun doing,

184
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,000
but I knew from the start
that it was what I wanted to do.

185
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,080
That's the life she's chosen.

186
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,480
It always has been.

187
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,840
There's no stopping it.

188
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:04,000
When she began competing
in regional championships

189
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,360
on those mini motorbikes,

190
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:12,240
the people around us who
were also competing said the same.

191
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,640
They said she was talented
and a good rider.

192
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,480
And because we saw
that she was having fun...

193
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,880
We had a motorhome.

194
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,000
When we went to bigger circuits,
we set it up there.

195
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,640
It was like our second home.
We'd spend all our weekends there.

196
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,480
Like fairground workers, but going
from one circuit to another.

197
00:14:37,525 --> 00:14:38,794
Something like that.

198
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,880
Always training and rushing off
to all the championships.

199
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,560
And as she got older,
the championship level went up.

200
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,800
It was something she was set on
from when she was a kid.

201
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,960
From the moment she tried it,
she wanted more and more.

202
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,840
She won three championships
in one season.

203
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,760
The Open of Extremadura,
the Murcia Championship

204
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,080
and the Castrol Cup.

205
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,600
She won three in the same year.

206
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,960
No girl had ever won those
or any other championships.

207
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,480
Maybe one hundred kids were competing.

208
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,280
And perhaps two or three were girls.

209
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,000
There was a junior world championship
in Valencia.

210
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,120
So we decided to go and see it.

211
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,120
There were so many kids
they competed in two sessions.

212
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,640
We were surprised when she finished
number 22.

213
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,560
There were kids
from all over the place.

214
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,560
The very best of each country
in Europe.

215
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,080
And that made us sit up and realise

216
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,480
she'd done a great job considering
she hadn't been riding long

217
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,480
on this particular bike.

218
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,120
And somehow, that was where it began.

219
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,480
If she was among the world's best
and she'd only just begun,

220
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,320
she must be good.

221
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,760
Motorcycle racing
is a very expensive sport.

222
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,920
Starting with the fact
that every time you go to the circuit

223
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,240
you use a set of tyres,
you have petrol, travelling expenses.

224
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,720
Every training session you do...

225
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,600
Every time you leave home
it costs a stack of money.

226
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,560
However little you spend,
it's still a lot.

227
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,480
And actually...

228
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,280
the family made a big investment
and took risks

229
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,520
to finance it at the beginning
to be able to afford

230
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,560
to pay the teams
and carry out projects...

231
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,160
It's crazy.

232
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,920
Ana was so successful in 2013.

233
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,760
When she competed in the third race
she had no backing that year.

234
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,640
The sponsor made the first payment
and then withdrew.

235
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,960
So my dad asked my brother and me

236
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:09,680
what we thought
about selling the motorhome

237
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,880
so that my sister could keep
competing.

238
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,680
The motorhome belonged
to the whole family,

239
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,080
it was where we'd shared moments
with the kids.

240
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,960
It was when the sponsor let us down
and the team had no money.

241
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,880
We both agreed.

242
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,440
We preferred her to carry on competing
in the races

243
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,440
if it meant selling it.

244
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,760
It cost us €150,000.
We rolled up, had lunch and said:

245
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,720
"Let's see how much
you can get for it."

246
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,680
That's how it was.

247
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,720
He sold the motorhome
and my sister carried on racing.

248
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:41,720
End of story.

249
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,640
We never got wind of anything at home.

250
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,560
Things were always fine.

251
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:51,680
I don't ever remember having problems
when I was a teenager.

252
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,240
Never.

253
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,720
All the bad stuff is coming out now
that it's over.

254
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,440
My mum took care of us
while my dad accompanied my sister.

255
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:03,160
And if we had money problems,
we never heard about it.

256
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,960
And that's thanks to my mum.

257
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:08,840
My dad was always
a lot more involved in everything.

258
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,320
He taught me virtually everything
that I know.

259
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,280
He always came training with me.

260
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,600
We spent the whole day together.
Travelling, training...

261
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,080
Night and day.
We shared the same hotel room.

262
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,360
We shared a lot of experiences

263
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,640
from when I was three up to about 17.

264
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,640
I cracked one of my teeth
while eating.

265
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,760
Now what?

266
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,880
We needed all our money

267
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,240
for a good pre-season
to compete in the world championship.

268
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:49,080
So, the dentist would cost us €100.

269
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,080
If we ate out, it would be the same.
No, we needed it for training.

270
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,800
In the end, I pulled out my own tooth.

271
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,320
I pulled out half of it
with a pair of pliers.

272
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:13,360
The problem comes

273
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,720
when eventually

274
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,080
we stop being the parents
who go with her

275
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,280
and it becomes more professional.

276
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,760
It happened sometime between
when I was 13-14.

277
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,200
Up until then

278
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:35,760
I'd always been a good rider,
I'd won championships and races

279
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,160
and did a good job,
but I went to the races with my dad.

280
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,160
I didn't have a team or anything.

281
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,400
It was a process of change.

282
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,160
It wasn't easy either
going from it being a hobby

283
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,160
to a professional activity.

284
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,920
She joined a team.

285
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,920
That's where her problems started.

286
00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:58,760
Because she was the first girl
who'd done it.

287
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,200
So that meant a lot of problems.

288
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,320
What I mean is that the riders

289
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,360
didn't want to pass the finish line
with her next to them,

290
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,280
or they didn't want her to be ahead
of them on the next lap.

291
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,080
They sort of isolated her.

292
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,440
My sister was the only female
in the world championship.

293
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,200
I remember she had
a really tough time.

294
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,960
It was really hard for her
at that time.

295
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:28,080
There were no female riders.

296
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,080
The world championship wasn't ready
to accept female riders.

297
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,560
It was weird for everyone.
The riders, the teams, the press...

298
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,160
It was something new
that had never happened before

299
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,840
and everyone needs time
to adapt to it.

300
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,080
I've heard such terrible things
about the circuit.

301
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,760
"If you can't win,
I'll have you mopping floors."

302
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:58,160
"If you can't beat a girl,
I'll have you mopping floors."

303
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,440
How can a father or a mother

304
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,480
allow something so disrespectful?

305
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,240
You always have someone
who doesn't mind and lends you a hand,

306
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,400
otherwise you have to give up.

307
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,880
In this case it was Luis Salom
who lent her a hand

308
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,720
and helped her, he didn't care.

309
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,640
He was the only one.
That's why she's so fond of him.

310
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,960
That was where she found
the support she needed.

311
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,440
-Support that nobody gave her.
-Because she's a woman.

312
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,480
They built up a friendship

313
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,960
because of those circumstances.

314
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,760
He gave her the support
that she needed at the time.

315
00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:59,600
And of course she's very fond of him.

316
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,080
Young guys in their late teens
and early twenties

317
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,560
don't like to be beaten.

318
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,080
They're competitive and want to race.

319
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,760
But what they like even less
is to be beaten by a woman.

320
00:23:16,206 --> 00:23:17,213
Ana Carrasco!

321
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,320
What happens is that once they're
in the box, the adult

322
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,640
is the one who encourages them
by saying:

323
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,720
"How can a girl be in front of you?"

324
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,560
It's like you're less of a man.

325
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,400
It's so absurd to try and show
your manliness that way.

326
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,880
It's absurd.
What kind of manliness is that?

327
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,400
Saying you want to be better
than a woman

328
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,560
because she was born one way
and you were born another.

329
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,320
That makes no sense.

330
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,520
We've been trying to gain equality
for years

331
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,080
but it's impossible.
Something as simple as that.

332
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,600
It's very simple
from my point of view.

333
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,800
I have three kids and they're equal.
I have two daughters and a son.

334
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,720
I think that I do contribute
indirectly.

335
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,640
My goal is 100% sport,
my goal is personal, but I do know

336
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:53,520
that in some way I am contributing
to this, helping other women

337
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,600
to gain more opportunities, making it
easier for them get to where I am.

338
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,480
And really...

339
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:04,680
I like that.
At the end of the day,

340
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,600
being able to do my bit

341
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,640
and helping to make everyone equal
is important to me.

342
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,680
But I think that what is especially
important is to believe we are equal.

343
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:30,480
That's equality, isn't it?
Not stopping to think about it.

344
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,920
That's the way I see it
and what I believe.

345
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,720
I've never stopped to think about it.

346
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,240
I believe it's a question of attitude
and rising above it.

347
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,520
In my everyday life,

348
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,360
I never stop to think
that I'm a woman.

349
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,120
I'm really proud of the way I am,

350
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,160
of the things I've experienced
that have made me who I am.

351
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,360
I'm grateful to my family
and the people who taught me

352
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,880
to be a good person,
which I think I am.

353
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:08,720
I never stop to think
that I'm a woman.

354
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:09,920
I don't care.

355
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,400
I'm me, I'm Ana.
This is the way I am, end of story.

356
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,200
-From the beginning.
-It was good job.

357
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:16,080
Yes, amazing! It was amazing!

358
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,520
Go and rest.

359
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,200
-I will let her rest before the race.
-Yes.

360
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:22,920
Congratulations yesterday on the pole.

361
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,480
I understand the kids.
It must be very tough.

362
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,520
You're at school and they ask you,
"Did the race go well?"

363
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,040
And you say,
"No, Ana Carrasco beat me."

364
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,360
"Shit, beaten by a girl?"

365
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,160
Go for it, Ana! Go, go!

366
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,200
I bet the riders' mates pick on them
for being beaten by a girl.

367
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,160
They may say it as a joke,
but you hear the typical remarks.

368
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,560
How could a girl have beaten me?

369
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,640
She beat you because she's better.
It's not about being a guy or a girl.

370
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,760
You're brilliant, Ana.

371
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,920
It should be regarded
as something normal.

372
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,960
To start with, we're all people.

373
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,160
Ana represents post-feminism.

374
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,400
She never talks about being a woman.

375
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,280
-She's normalised a situation.
-She's normalised it.

376
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,640
She never refers to herself
as a woman - she's a rider.

377
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,320
I think that the biggest change
has been

378
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,840
going from being "girl on the grid"
to a rider on the grid.

379
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,320
A rider who wins races, championships,
a rider to watch out for.

380
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,400
Today one pilot who stands out
from the rest on the grid.

381
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,240
Looks like Ana Carrasco didn't want
a paddock girl to hold her umbrella.

382
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,120
The rider found a clever,
tongue-in-cheek way of questioning

383
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,640
the role of these girls.

384
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,680
Up to now it was standard practice
at the start of a race,

385
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,240
but we don't know for how much longer.

386
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,200
I fractured my elbow when I was nine,
that was my first operation.

387
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,400
Then my collar bone, my shoulder...

388
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,240
I had minor injuries
almost on a daily basis.

389
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,800
My shoulder injury was quite tough

390
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,600
because it happened at a time

391
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,160
in my sporting career
that was complicated.

392
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,720
And it was what made me pull out
of the Moto3 World Championship.

393
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,680
It's like you're watching something
that isn't real.

394
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,720
You're at home, you turn on the TV,
and you're watching her.

395
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,120
And then you see how she falls off.

396
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,680
What happened? They cut the image.

397
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,160
Is she hurt?

398
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,000
And when they start saying
that she's fractured her shoulder...

399
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,200
I just felt completely numb.

400
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,760
Her shoulder was so inflamed
they couldn't operate.

401
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,080
It was horrible.

402
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,720
Then they operated and after that
she did rehabilitation at home.

403
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,360
It was a tough summer for her
and for everyone.

404
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,920
The shoulder injury,

405
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,640
the fact the sponsors left her
in the lurch the year before...

406
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,640
I looked at her and asked myself
why we needed to go through all this.

407
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,520
This wasn't right for a girl her age.
At her age

408
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,440
she should be out having fun
with her friends,

409
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,480
not suffering in a hospital.

410
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,400
It was a bad injury, the doctor told
me to forget the championship,

411
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:47,640
forget finishing.

412
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,520
He said I'd need two years to recover.

413
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,400
And so obviously that...

414
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,520
It was like saying I'd never compete
in a world championship ever again.

415
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,720
It was a tough blow for her
and for everyone.

416
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,480
You see she wants to pull
something off and in the end

417
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,880
she can't do it because there
are so many problems.

418
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,160
You don't know if she'll eventually
be able to do it or not.

419
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,440
It was an awful year.
She cried a lot, lost her temper.

420
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,880
But then you saw what strength
of character she had

421
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,000
when she got up, left the hospital,

422
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,440
and began doing exercise.

423
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,440
They told her
she'd be laid up for six months,

424
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,800
but in just two months
she was onboard a bike again.

425
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,960
In Ana's category, which could
be called world-class category,

426
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,360
there are more risks.

427
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,000
Although they don't race as fast,
there is more physical contact.

428
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,080
In general, all the races
in this category have been...

429
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,200
equally tough.

430
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,720
The riders are very young

431
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,520
and they want to show their talent.

432
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,320
Sometimes they overdo it
when they take risks.

433
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,120
To be honest,
I never think of the risks I take

434
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,280
when I get on the bike.

435
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,480
I've come to terms with the fact
and I do understand

436
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,040
that we risk our lives in this sport.

437
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,320
But I never think this could be
the last time I'll do it.

438
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,160
Can it happen? Yes.
But we never stop to think about it.

439
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,880
Unfortunately,
I experienced it up close.

440
00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,720
Luis Salom's death.

441
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,440
I was very close to him.

442
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:03,720
So...

443
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,880
all of that affected me personally.

444
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,280
It's especially hard for the family.

445
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,200
You see that something
exactly the same

446
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,480
happened to someone close.

447
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,920
He was a Moto2 World Championship
who died three...

448
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,680
Yes, three years ago in 2016.
Here in Montmeló.

449
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,440
So...

450
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,320
thinking that there's danger
doesn't help you

451
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,720
to go fast or win.

452
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,560
All ready to go here in Portimao
for the 7th race of this 2017 season.

453
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,800
García has number 41.
Ana Carrasco, third, with number 2.

454
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,800
A great get away from García,
who is out first.

455
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,360
Ana Carrasco overtaking
on her Kawasaki Ninja 300,

456
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,360
recognizable because of those
yellow rims.

457
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,960
Three riders in front: Marc García,
Dani Valle and Ana Carrasco.

458
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,800
Still in the fight,
Ana goes into second position,

459
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,320
now in third position.

460
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,000
Constant overtaking here.

461
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,840
Three laps left,
it's still a close battle

462
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,720
between García, Valle and Carrasco,
all fighting for victory.

463
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,080
Last lap now
and Carrasco is out in front,

464
00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:28,720
but with a few turns left, García
and Coppola take the initiative again.

465
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,880
We'll see if Ana
has something up her sleeve.

466
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,080
Yes, she makes the most
of the Yamaha's slipstream

467
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:38,880
to go past the chequered flag
in first position.

468
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,760
This has been a truly epic end.

469
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,120
Ana Carrasco has reaped the reward.

470
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,520
She has become

471
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,600
the first woman to win a world
motorcycling race championship.

472
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,080
Sixty years of racing events
have had to go by

473
00:34:54,240 --> 00:34:56,680
for us to witness
this historic moment.

474
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,160
The first woman to win
in a world racing championship.

475
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,800
A day to remember, one that has
already made motorcycling history.

476
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:09,080
When she won, it was like
she was getting back on track.

477
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,240
I was with her sister
when it was over.

478
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,000
-They were somewhere else.
-We couldn't believe it.

479
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,600
They all went running off
to the podium.

480
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,840
I didn't hug anyone or do anything.
I was sort of sleepwalking.

481
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,200
I felt like...

482
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,280
I felt like I'd died and woken up
in heaven. Amazing.

483
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:31,720
The feeling a father has

484
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,040
when he sees what his child achieved
after all that effort.

485
00:35:36,126 --> 00:35:37,533
Carrasco!

486
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,040
It was the joy of seeing
that she'd reached her goal.

487
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,680
But without thinking that she was
going to be the first woman

488
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,520
or its importance
at international level.

489
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,560
What was going through my mind was

490
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:01,160
the personal satisfaction
she would be feeling at that moment.

491
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,680
-Her face said it all.
-That was her goal.

492
00:36:04,864 --> 00:36:06,868
Ana Carrasco!

493
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,200
If you can go fast once

494
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,240
without any hitches,

495
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,400
technically you can do it twice.

496
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,160
Then three, four, five, six times.

497
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,800
It's worth investing in that person
as an individual,

498
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,120
and because you know you can work
with them and create a project.

499
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,880
The project was set up.

500
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,960
The limitations weren't so much
about Ana, but rather

501
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,360
the technical and human structure
behind it to ensure that she won.

502
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,360
I thought that we would never
find a team

503
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,760
who believed in a woman
as a world champion.

504
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,760
It was what I had wanted to have
all my life.

505
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,520
When we go to the races
we never talk to her

506
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,800
about the motorbikes.

507
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,680
Otherwise, we interfere
with her work, her performance.

508
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,160
We act like her parents:
we give her kisses and hugs.

509
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:17,880
And that's all.

510
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:24,680
She knows that we're there for her
and that's it.

511
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,680
The team does believe a woman can win.
They certainly do.

512
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,240
They're committed to her.

513
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,280
And their rider is Ana Carrasco.

514
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:44,560
Mario is in charge of telemetry
and he's chief technician.

515
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,920
-Feels stiff, what do you say?
-Maybe.

516
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,120
His job is to interpret what I say.

517
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,680
-I think it still feels hard.
-Do you?

518
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,400
-Back and front.
-But wasn't there a change?

519
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,000
Yes, the bike is running better,
much smoother.

520
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,000
I feel things on the track,
on the bike,

521
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,120
and he's the one who decides
how to improve it.

522
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,720
More grid is needed.

523
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,960
-But since the track is sort of...
-No, don't be too sure.

524
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,720
When I accelerate a lot, it's like...

525
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,800
It's strange,
the bike is a living thing.

526
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,240
It always tells you something.

527
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,880
Every coloured line means something.

528
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,920
Based on those values,
you analyse it and act.

529
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,920
I'm the chief mechanic.

530
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:33,000
Fleky is fantastic.

531
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,200
There's no other word for it.

532
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,000
I'm teaching Mara

533
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,480
how it works and how it operates,
because Mara

534
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,480
has a motocross background.

535
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,120
Fleky has been a blessing to me.

536
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,280
He suggests how to handle the bike,
what needs doing.

537
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,120
He's in charge
of the technical aspects.

538
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,800
Good, go for it, go for it!
Jesus!

539
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,760
Mara is wonderful.

540
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,080
Mara is a lovely person,
she's fun, a hard worker.

541
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,280
She's a professional.

542
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,240
She's an ace, the smart one.

543
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:24,800
Perfect.

544
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,280
I think that Jordi is the one
she relies on most.

545
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,360
We need to keep up the pressure.

546
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,040
Especially the feeling
that the race is on already.

547
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,240
Get a feel for everything.
We haven't ridden for six hours.

548
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:41,200
You're in the middle, huh?
Taking no risks.

549
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,000
I need someone
to bring me down to Earth.

550
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,320
He's the most cool-headed person,

551
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,000
able to stay calm
in the most stressful moments.

552
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,440
In the end, he's the one who helps
calm down the team.

553
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,560
He makes sure everyone does their job,
even if the situation

554
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:02,040
is a bit stressful or critical.

555
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,920
He calms me down.
I know that whatever happens,

556
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,040
I always go out feeling relaxed,
knowing what I've got to do.

557
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,560
You get away first,
two will be behind you.

558
00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:13,960
If you get away last,
six will be behind you.

559
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,520
They'll be behind you,
so you get away first.

560
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,480
Whoever follows you.

561
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,360
They have a great relationship.
Ana relies on him a lot.

562
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,920
He makes her feel relaxed,
and that's good for her.

563
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,720
He gives her confidence.

564
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,240
You find the slipstream
or look for it, that's how it is.

565
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,360
-I'll go all out.
-Go like crazy.

566
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,760
-Then we'll see how...
-But give it your all, huh?

567
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,280
He really helps to bring out
the best in me.

568
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,760
Jordi acts like a father with Ana.

569
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,040
Yes. She's the apple of his eye.

570
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,760
In fact, one time Ana's father

571
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,080
said to him: "Look after her
as if she were your own daughter."

572
00:40:56,240 --> 00:41:00,240
Mario, the front or back pressure
haven't gone down, huh?

573
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,280
They've stayed the same or increased.
They were at 2.44. Mara?

574
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,240
Give Mario the tyre pressure figures.

575
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,840
-In front or at the back?
-Stay in front.

576
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,120
-Let them follow you if they can.
-Okay.

577
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,160
But calmly,
do what you know how to do.

578
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,120
Ricky joining the team

579
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,880
as the coach was also a great help.

580
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:23,840
Because after all,

581
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,440
he's a former rider,

582
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,200
he knows how to deal with lots
of things at all stages.

583
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,320
That was his contribution.

584
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,680
There's no pothole here.
To avoid thinking about them,

585
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,800
make sure the bike doesn't move.

586
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,440
Don't wait for potholes
or your mind will never react.

587
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,480
You brake here, get stuck,
and you're done.

588
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,920
You didn't hit it, but you go slow.

589
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,600
I'm waiting for it to do this,
then I accelerate.

590
00:41:58,760 --> 00:41:59,960
There's a spot...

591
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,280
Keep the bike straight
and move like we said.

592
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,480
But don't lower your upper body,
just your whole hip.

593
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,800
Ricky will tell you now,
then you picture it, okay?

594
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,080
Let him say what he has to
and you picture it.

595
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,680
On such a long turn, it's important
to get your knee down quickly.

596
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,600
Like we said.

597
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,280
Put it down before,
you spin like a compass needle.

598
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,280
Ana had never touched the ground.

599
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,720
She'd never done motocross
or flat track or anything.

600
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,000
We started from scratch.

601
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,800
Working body-to-body,
which is what she found hard.

602
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:39,040
She wanted to win by racing fast,

603
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,360
racing away from everyone,
but that isn't it.

604
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,840
That might happen once,
but normally you fight for your space.

605
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,240
Hold on, hold on!

606
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,400
Tighter, tighter!

607
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,360
Come on, go for it!
Move it, move it, move it!

608
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,400
Come on, go for it, Ana! Go for it!

609
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,000
That's the way!

610
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,240
That's it!

611
00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:45,080
For me this team

612
00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:48,680
is so important in my career
and in my life.

613
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,240
If people are to perform to the max,
they need to feel comfortable.

614
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,680
Part of the job
is to create that environment or try

615
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,800
and create the right
working environment.

616
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,880
Either you get on with your team
or it just won't work.

617
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,720
They're more like my family
than my bosses.

618
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,080
Even though I always joke about it,

619
00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:32,280
I actually have seven fathers
and seven mothers.

620
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,000
We're following Fleky, this is tricky.

621
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,360
-He's walking in the shade.
-That's what I mean.

622
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,440
We might end up in Murcia,
it's all connected.

623
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,000
Anyone want a lucky charm bracelet?
We'll need it.

624
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,400
It's for good luck.

625
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:52,160
-Shall we bless it?
-They are already.

626
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,800
We bought them here and next year
we'll win the world championship.

627
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,080
You can have the best bike,
but if the rider isn't any good

628
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:01,600
you won't get to where you need to be.

629
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,320
And you can have the best rider,
but if the bike isn't well tuned-up

630
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,080
you won't get there, either.

631
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:08,920
They need each other.

632
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,760
Even though the pianist
is brilliant...

633
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,760
If the piano is out of tune,
there's no music.

634
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,320
This is the most finely-tuned piano
in its category.

635
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,200
Bloody hell, get in here!

636
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,880
-Did you call your dad?
-I can't, I need Wi-Fi.

637
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,280
When I get in, it's noisy.

638
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,680
And this one? You go on the inside?

639
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,560
You touch the new wall?

640
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,200
A straight line.

641
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,320
See the guy in the Kawasaki shirt?
The girl on the left?

642
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,880
Straight there, stop, and go right.

643
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,200
This is just for Superbikes
there are too many meters to try...

644
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:53,920
And this long, so...

645
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,200
You stop and then start to build
the speed.

646
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,920
In our sport, Jonathan is...

647
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,000
the best Superbikes rider in history.

648
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:11,440
And I'm lucky enough
to experience all of this by his side.

649
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,000
He comes to see her after each
training session,

650
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:20,720
asks questions, shows interest.

651
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:25,360
On Thursdays we all go together
on the circuit lap.

652
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,320
Johnny gives Ana an awful lot of help.

653
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,880
Both on and off the track walk.
On a daily basis.

654
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,880
She's very professional.

655
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,360
But when she's riding
she looks like she's having fun.

656
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,000
Off the bike she's having fun.

657
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,840
We have a saying in English:

658
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,520
"When you smile,
the world smiles with you."

659
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,760
And sometimes behind her helmet
I can see her smiling,

660
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,200
even in the most difficult
of situations.

661
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,920
You can tell that she loves to ride
the bike and that's really nice.

662
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,840
I don't know how this relationship
came about, but it's amazing.

663
00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:00,600
They really love each other.

664
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,240
I can see that it's mutual admiration.

665
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:04,840
It's magical.

666
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:16,280
They experience victories and defeats
as if they were their own.

667
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,440
Johnny drops everything
to watch one of Ana's races.

668
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,360
He leaves the Japanese waiting,
data engineers...

669
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:24,720
"Hang on, I'll be right back."

670
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,400
He goes off, watches the race
like a maniac, like a hooligan,

671
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,080
yelling like it's the end
of the world.

672
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:36,200
If she wins, he goes off.
If she loses, he gets so depressed.

673
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,040
He's like a fan.
Just another hooligan. It's amazing.

674
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,720
Come on!

675
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,640
He sees Ana differently.
He likes Ana to win.

676
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,880
I can tell her stuff from outside
the track. But if it's cold,

677
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,400
or the track is slippery because
there is no rubber or whatever,

678
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,880
he tells her, I can't.

679
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,800
When he sees something strange
or potentially dangerous,

680
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,440
he runs to the box and says,
"Ana, I recommend you do this."

681
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,200
Depending on what Rea says,

682
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,240
we adapt it to our category

683
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,320
with our power and our tyres.

684
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,360
Seeing how he does things helps me

685
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,880
to want to be better
and improve myself every day.

686
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,280
If I have to focus on someone
or on how I'd like to be,

687
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,120
I'd like to be like him.

688
00:48:36,720 --> 00:48:41,360
I think tomorrow will be with the sun.
We start at three.

689
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,200
She has number two.

690
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,000
It's there on the left.

691
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,040
Look confident and don't stop.
Like you know where you're going.

692
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,600
-Don't even brake.
-The trick is not to look at them.

693
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,640
You have to look convincing
when you do illegal stuff.

694
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,080
Don't look at the guy,
drive straight through.

695
00:49:07,240 --> 00:49:11,120
Like you've been here
a thousand times. This is your home.

696
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:15,840
Then they'll throw me in jail
when this documentary comes out.

697
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,440
For being dodgy.

698
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,680
Come on, your turn to work.

699
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:23,840
Conviction.

700
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,480
It's over here on the right.
Drive straight ahead.

701
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,200
Don't look at him.

702
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,800
Quick, quick, quick!

703
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,880
-Don't look, huh?
-Don't look.

704
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:38,240
Did we get through?

705
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,000
You did something illegal
for the first time.

706
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,240
At the circuit.

707
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,600
Yes, here at this circuit.

708
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,680
How do you concentrate in a race?
What do you do?

709
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,920
What do you think about on the bike?

710
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,680
I imagine that it's just training
and that I'm by myself.

711
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,680
-What do your parents say?
-That I'm the best.

712
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:04,960
Come on, come on!

713
00:52:14,240 --> 00:52:16,800
You were going to be the worst, huh?

714
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:54,120
Hello and welcome to
the 2018 Superbike World Championship.

715
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,120
We're at Donington Park
in the United Kingdom.

716
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,560
In the previous race held in Imola,
Ana Carrasco completely owned it

717
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:04,800
and she's currently
the Supersport 300 world champion.

718
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,560
Today she's back again from pole position.

719
00:53:07,720 --> 00:53:10,880
Will the 21-year-old from Murcia
clinch it again?

720
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,760
First position on the grid
for Carrasco, Meuffels and Pérez.

721
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,440
The championship is led
by Ana Carrasco on her Kawasaki Ninja,

722
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,920
a much more solid partnership
than last year.

723
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,840
This year's bike has greater
cylinder capacity and acceleration,

724
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,040
but that isn't what makes the difference,

725
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,800
there are a lot of bikes
like hers on the starting grid.

726
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:49,360
The difference is that yesterday,
Saturday, Ana Carrasco,

727
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,760
smashed Meuffels' score by 48 ms
and blasted to new pole position.

728
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,880
We think it might be hard for Ana
to win again

729
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,640
with such absolute authority
like she did in Imola.

730
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,840
The key for her will be to lead
the race right from the start.

731
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:05,680
But check out her rivals:

732
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,920
Meuffels, Pérez, Loureiro, Sánchez,
Deroue, among others.

733
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:15,160
Supersport 300 is a category where
nothing can be taken for granted.

734
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,280
The competition between
these young riders is fierce,

735
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,320
willing to make a name for themselves
in the world of motorcycling.

736
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,400
Will Carrasco be able to take
the pressure and keep the lead?

737
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,400
It's impossible to predict
what will happen now.

738
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,000
The light goes off
and this year's fourth

739
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,840
World Supersport 300 race
starts here in Donington Park.

740
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:39,000
A stunning start by the leader,
benefitting from her position

741
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,640
to get a few metres away
from her rivals.

742
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,160
That was a superb start by Ana.

743
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,040
Koen Meuffels, Mika Pérez
and Borja Sánchez well placed

744
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,040
after the first turn,
but not quite enough because Carrasco

745
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:52,720
is already leading the race.

746
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,640
Ana is imposing her intense rhythm,

747
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,640
leaving Meuffels and the others
behind.

748
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,640
Ana is developing quite a gap.

749
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,640
Carrasco is showing
what she already revealed in practice:

750
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,040
no one has more rhythm than she does.

751
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,920
Despite her youth,
remember that this rider

752
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,680
already holds several
motorcycling titles in Spain:

753
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:18,760
First Spanish woman to score points
in the World Championship in Malaysia.

754
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:23,000
She was also the first Spanish woman
to win a world speed race,

755
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,120
that was in Portimao last year.

756
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,120
Or to do what she's doing now:
being the undisputed leader

757
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,400
of the Supersport 300
World Championship.

758
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,840
Carrasco tears up yet another lap,

759
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,880
she has a 4.5 second advantage
over her rivals.

760
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,760
It's quite unusual to see
that much distance in this category

761
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,000
between first and second
classified riders.

762
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:45,600
No battle to lead here,

763
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,160
the world champion is setting a rhythm

764
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,480
the others can't keep up with.

765
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,760
Carrasco has finished a fantastic race
once again.

766
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:55,240
From start to finish,
just like in Imola.

767
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:56,640
Setting her rhythm,

768
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,240
with absolutely no need
for the slipstream.

769
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,200
Just her and her Kawasaki.

770
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,280
Together, they've secured
an undisputable victory.

771
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:10,040
Ana Carrasco takes the first position
of the championship with 73 points,

772
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,760
22 more than Grünwald and 27 more

773
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,280
than Scott Deroue,
the third classified rider.

774
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,880
The next date is the Czech Republic
from 8-10 June.

775
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,680
Will Carrasco be able to hold on
to this significant advantage?

776
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,160
Your second successive victory.
What a race here at Donington.

777
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:34,000
It's incredible for us.
I think we did a really good job.

778
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,000
It's really good for us
and the championship.

779
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,520
I want to say thanks to all my team,

780
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,320
to Kawasaki and all the people
who are around me.

781
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,520
Also, to my family and friends
who are watching me at home.

782
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,840
As a mother, I experience
all the difficulties she faces,

783
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,760
and I've seen her achieve something
almost impossible.

784
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,120
You enjoy it in a way...

785
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,640
It's indescribable, you don't know how
to explain what you feel.

786
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:04,200
Not so much for yourself,

787
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,800
but for how she's been rewarded.

788
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:11,080
But I also feel a great satisfaction
as a woman.

789
00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:13,800
To be able to say,
"Bravo for my daughter."

790
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,000
She's able to fight for her goal.

791
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:23,000
Despite all the difficulties
and hardships that she's had,

792
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,880
she knew how to stick with it
and was able to achieve that goal.

793
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,640
And to show the world
that a woman can do it.

794
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,240
I feel like I've been given
two prizes,

795
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,080
so to speak.

796
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,320
I feel incredibly satisfied
both as a mother and as a woman.

797
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,280
After winning those two races,
the regulations changed.

798
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:58,440
From then on,

799
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,880
the change made things worse for me.

800
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,600
We had to add a lot of ballast
to the bike

801
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:05,480
and I suffered as a result.

802
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,560
There was a rule change
about "weight-rider."

803
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:14,080
Motorbike plus rider. If the weight
wasn't right, they added kilos.

804
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:48,440
12 kg extra on a bike is a dead weight
that alters your centre of gravity,

805
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,720
it pushes you outside on turns,
you can't brake.

806
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:55,080
12 kg of muscle for turning a bike
is not the same as a dead weight

807
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,400
that messes with you on every turn.

808
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,320
Things began to get really tough.

809
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,040
We went from winning outright,
as it were,

810
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,440
to struggling to stay
among the first ten.

811
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,520
I took it very badly.

812
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,280
I saw how I was gradually losing

813
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,320
the series of points that I'd won.

814
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:33,280
They were catching me up
and there were less and less races.

815
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,320
So it was really agonising.

816
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:41,080
We were losing
when victory had been ours all year.

817
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:04,240
In some of the races it was hard
for us to brake or to turn.

818
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,560
We were already championship leaders,

819
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,640
but managing that was not easy
until the end of the year.

820
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,760
Obviously, it's very hard
to win a championship,

821
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:17,440
but I think that staying on top
is even tougher.

822
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,920
The kind of pressure
that Ana was under

823
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,800
from half way through the year
to the end, is not easy to handle.

824
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,040
You're about to make history.

825
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,600
Here comes the group,
Scott Deroue is clearly in the lead.

826
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,360
It looks like the Supersport 300
World Championship

827
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:49,600
won't be decided here in Portimao,

828
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,000
but in fact this category
looks more open than ever.

829
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,720
The Dutch rider making the most
of his options to clinch the title.

830
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,800
Winning would mean being 5 points
ahead of Carrasco,

831
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:03,800
who had a terrible start
and has gone down to 17th position.

832
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,920
We can see her trying
to regain positions here.

833
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,920
Deroue, on the other hand,
is having a superb race.

834
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,760
He wants to keep on pressuring
the Spaniard in this championship.

835
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:19,040
Ana has lost points in the last races
that might be vital

836
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,480
for winning the championship or not.

837
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,920
A fantastic win by Deroue
in his first victory of the year.

838
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:30,280
Way ahead of Carrasco,
who eventually comes in 11th.

839
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:33,880
Despite everything,
she's still in the lead,

840
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,200
ahead of Deroue, Pérez and Grünwald.

841
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,360
She'll reach the last event
with 90 points,

842
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,400
ten points more than Deroue,
who is second after this victory,

843
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,320
and 18 more than Mika Pérez,
who is third.

844
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,360
Magny-Cours
from 29 of September to 1 October,

845
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:51,760
where we find out who

846
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:53,680
is the new world champion.

847
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,520
-Anita...
-What's up?

848
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:04,760
I'm here already, okay?

849
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:08,240
Yes, we'll be there
in about five minutes.

850
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,600
-All right, I'll get changed.
-See you inside the gym?

851
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,440
-Yes, okay. See you later.
-Fine. See you later.

852
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:25,600
We're here.

853
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,640
I'll send a selfie of us all
to the group.

854
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:32,840
So they see we're working.

855
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,240
Write "Me and my shadows."

856
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,360
I'll do it now and see what they say.

857
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:58,200
Physical training is always
the hardest part of the season.

858
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:03,080
We put in hours of bike,
gym and strength training.

859
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:07,280
The pre-season and summer

860
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:10,320
are especially tough,

861
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,640
with five or six hours
of intense daily training.

862
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:18,400
I think that physically,
riders have to be completely prepared.

863
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,480
Having quick reflexes

864
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:25,240
and the ability to make
decisions at 200 kmph

865
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:26,960
in just one second,

866
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,800
requires you to have
a level of physical fitness

867
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,200
that enables you to think calmly.

868
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,880
Being physically fit for a race

869
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,160
is basic if you want to be competitive
during a weekend event.

870
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,920
Come on, Ana, squeeze tight
when you finish.

871
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:51,560
Fifteen.

872
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,400
We go to France, the last race,

873
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,760
with a ten-point advantage
compared to the second one.

874
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:03,240
Damn, she could be the world champ.
It's a possibility, right?

875
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,720
It was a very stressful weekend.

876
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,240
I didn't want to see anyone.

877
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:12,840
Believe in yourself.

878
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,520
First, she had to go up a few
positions to opt for the title.

879
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:20,400
I think that the title
was being disputed by four people.

880
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,080
It was pretty complicated.

881
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,800
There were 25 of us on the grid.

882
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,960
My rival, Deroue,
classified in second position,

883
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:33,760
was on pole.

884
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,680
The idea was that if he won the race,
I'd have to get third place

885
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,360
starting in 25th position.

886
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:40,760
That's tough.

887
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:44,240
Here is Ana Carrasco,
25th position on the grid.

888
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,400
Lots of work for her to do.

889
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,440
It's under way!

890
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:59,320
It turns out
that I won back positions in the race.

891
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:09,280
With four or five laps left,
Deroue's shift broke.

892
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:10,760
His shift lever broke.

893
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,960
A technical issue
for the Kawasaki rider!

894
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:17,400
Okay, that's one down.

895
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,160
Pérez was in second position,

896
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,840
but if he got first,
he'd beat Ana by one point.

897
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,400
As I was gaining position
and he was at the top,

898
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,880
first position was changing
all the time.

899
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:54,640
They took the last turn...

900
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:56,680
and Pérez finished in second.

901
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,640
Dani Valle takes his first race win!

902
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,120
Mika Pérez
finishes in second position.

903
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,960
Is it enough for the title, though?
No, it's not!

904
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,640
Carrasco takes
the World Supersport 300 title

905
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:10,880
by one singular point!

906
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,480
I won by one point
in the championship.

907
01:07:14,063 --> 01:07:15,063
Yes!

908
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,600
I didn't know
when I passed the finish line.

909
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,720
All the photographers were there,
the TV crews...

910
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,840
Of course I didn't know
if I had to stop or not.

911
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:31,520
And when I was approaching,

912
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,520
I saw a photographer I've known
for ages and I asked him:

913
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:36,840
"Did I win or not?"

914
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:39,720
And he said, "Yes, yes, stop."

915
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,040
That was where I found out.

916
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,320
My wife ran like a mad thing...

917
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:51,960
I couldn't run.

918
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,200
I walked,

919
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:58,160
and as I walked, I had the feeling
that each step I took

920
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,360
was a really long one,
like it was five metres.

921
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,960
I felt like a completely different
person inside.

922
01:08:28,161 --> 01:08:30,164
Ana Carrasco!

923
01:08:59,960 --> 01:09:04,040
Some say the most important day
in life is when your child is born.

924
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:08,480
For me, this is much more important
than when they were born.

925
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:10,240
When they're born,

926
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,760
you're excited about having kids,

927
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:14,800
but in the end you're the selfish one.

928
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:19,880
It isn't about them, you're excited
about buying them stuff.

929
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:21,680
But having a child

930
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:25,240
is a selfish decision
that a couple make between them.

931
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:30,120
So when your kid becomes world
champion after struggling by herself,

932
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,920
facing all the difficulties
that she has,

933
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,880
crying her eyes out like she has,

934
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:40,360
possibly not being able race again...

935
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,240
There's no price for that.

936
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,800
All the money in the world
can't buy you that.

937
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:46,960
It's the ultimate reward for me.

938
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,960
I don't need her to win
any more races or anything.

939
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:56,400
Ana Carrasco,
the new Supersport World Champion.

940
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,720
This female rider, just 21-years-old,

941
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:02,200
was named world champion yesterday
after beating 38 men.

942
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,360
Ana Carrasco goes down
in motorcycling history.

943
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,440
Congratulations, Ana, well done.
You're changing history.

944
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:13,200
Carrasco is paving the way, changing
the face of motorcycling history.

945
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:16,440
This young lady is teaching a lesson
to the motorcycling world.

946
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:21,040
This had never happened before.
A woman at the top of the podium.

947
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,720
Carrasco's feat changes everything.

948
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,400
Motorcycling was a man's world
until Ana Carrasco arrived.

949
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,960
She's Spanish,
from Cehegín in Murcia,

950
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:33,120
and she's now part
of world motorcycling history.

951
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,760
They're all men at the start line,
except for her.

952
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:40,560
Ana has shown there is no difference
between men and women when racing.

953
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:45,320
For me, Ana's championship win
was like a barrier that was removed.

954
01:10:45,480 --> 01:10:49,720
The first woman to win
a world championship, that's historic.

955
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,760
She's the first woman to win
an FIM Championship.

956
01:10:54,440 --> 01:10:55,480
A world championship.

957
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:05,280
She's a female world champion,
but competing against men.

958
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,000
Up to now,
no one had achieved what she did.

959
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:13,720
Well, Ana has made history.

960
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:15,480
There's no denying that.

961
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:19,400
I think that record won't be broken.

962
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:24,120
She's one in a million
with what she's achieved.

963
01:11:25,434 --> 01:11:26,447
Ana Carrasco!

964
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:31,200
Ana has been the first woman
in history

965
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:33,040
to win a world championship.

966
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,440
And that's a record.

967
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:38,080
She did something that...

968
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:42,640
will be more acknowledged
and appreciated

969
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,120
as times goes by.

970
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,600
She makes history every day,
because in the end

971
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,000
she's still at the top.

972
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,200
She never did it to prove anything.

973
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:05,080
She did it because

974
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:06,720
she loved the event,

975
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:10,760
she worked hard for it
and wanted to achieve a goal.

976
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,760
And thanks to that goal,
things have definitely changed.

977
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,840
She's a woman who changed something
in the world.

978
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:24,440
That record will go down in history.

979
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,560
Fifty years will go by
and it'll still be there.

980
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,320
That's why these moments are unique,

981
01:12:30,480 --> 01:12:32,520
they're written in the history books.

982
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,400
Her legacy is in the history books.

983
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:45,160
The work done by Ana and other women

984
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:46,960
will create a balance.

985
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,360
I think it's thanks
to what they're doing.

986
01:13:15,480 --> 01:13:19,040
If a little girl sees a motorbike
and she likes it,

987
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,240
now she can follow the footsteps
of someone else.

988
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:24,640
That's tough
if you don't have a role model.

989
01:13:25,239 --> 01:13:26,986
Ana Carrasco!

990
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:34,600
It's a message to a lot of women

991
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:37,000
that it's okay to come here.

992
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:38,520
For sure.

993
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:40,360
Especially because it means

994
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:43,440
many people have stopped
seeing the difference between

995
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:45,880
"a girl or a rider."

996
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:51,640
Just because she's a female
and has a vagina doesn't mean

997
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:53,320
that she can't do whatever.

998
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:55,240
-I've got flow, huh?
-Yeah.

999
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:56,520
Told you so.

1000
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:01,960
She's broken down barriers.

1001
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,040
Certainly what she's doing
for motorcycling

1002
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:09,160
has made motorcycling inclusive
of females.

1003
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,600
This year three or four females

1004
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:15,240
are competing
in the SSP300 World Championship.

1005
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:18,480
That's awesome. I put it down
to Ana showing it can be done.

1006
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:24,360
But what she's done is shown that

1007
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:27,520
you don't have to compete,
but you can be a world champ,

1008
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:30,120
and she can be really proud of it.

1009
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:34,720
Ana has triumphed and more women
are competing.

1010
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:50,520
There was a before and an after.

1011
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:53,360
If we look at the dates,

1012
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:57,280
you can see that after Ana's victory

1013
01:14:57,440 --> 01:14:59,480
and all the media coverage,

1014
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:02,360
there are more female athletes

1015
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:04,640
appearing on TV
in football, basketball...

1016
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,600
So she helped,
but this has to continue.

1017
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:09,080
She broke

1018
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:12,920
all the barriers
that needed breaking down.

1019
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:17,880
I think that what Ana did

1020
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,520
really helped equality.

1021
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,760
It showed that equality does exist,
it's real.

1022
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,280
There is no difference
between men and women.

1023
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:31,600
I think this has been
a real step forward

1024
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:33,240
and a clear vindication.

1025
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,200
-How are you?
-My name is Nina.

1026
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:37,920
Like the singer.

1027
01:15:39,440 --> 01:15:40,800
I wish you all the best.

1028
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,040
Now that she achieved this,
what we need to do

1029
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:46,360
is be able to keep it up.
Keep it alive.

1030
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:52,160
Yes, the "Ride like a Girl" thing.

1031
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:55,040
It's usually used in a derogatory way.

1032
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:56,800
You're a woman, you can't ride.

1033
01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:01,680
In a way, she got rid of that slogan
that used to exist.

1034
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:06,280
It was sort of the right time to say:

1035
01:16:07,440 --> 01:16:08,680
"That's stupid."

1036
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:11,680
I ride like a girl and beat
all the men in a world championship.

1037
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:18,320
In the end,
the world champ rode like a girl!

1038
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:26,600
She's done her bit.

1039
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:30,440
This is the beginning of a future

1040
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:34,040
of equality that promises
to be awesome.

1041
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,040
A little girl from Murcia

1042
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:39,520
who raced motorbikes
and wanted to be world champion,

1043
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,680
a small-town kid, without means
and in a man's world...

1044
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,320
Everyone would have said,
"No way, she's mad."

1045
01:16:47,480 --> 01:16:48,560
I did it.

1046
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:52,400
So if I did it, everyone can achieve
whatever they want.

1047
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:54,480
It's about work, believing in it,

1048
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:58,160
perseverance and not throwing
in the towel when things go wrong.

1049
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,480
If I'd done that every time
things went wrong for me,

1050
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:03,880
I'd never have become world champion.
