[Czech GP 2025] Round-up: Folks going the wrong direction, not knowing where the hell they're going, and trudging around the long way in the unfamiliar surroundings of Brno circuit (+ marc bolting up a hill)

After competing against his brother (Aleix) in MotoGP for nearly a decade, in this new chapter of his life, Pol has become a kind of "big brother" to Dani Holgado, with whom he began working once the 2025 season was already underway. How exactly can his role be defined? He explains it himself: "You can call it whatever you want: coach, manager, friend, assistant... You can give it many names . But for me, the one Dani needs most right now, and the one I identify with most, is that of a friend . Even, why not, that of an older brother . Dani came to me in Austin, told me he wasn't happy with his manager, and that he needed that kind of support. I took a little while to think about it, because I don't think I'm yet ready to be a manager; I don't think it's my strong suit. But I did see that I could lend him a hand with the day-to-day work." He's living in Andorra now, and when I arrived from Austin, I explained it to my wife because I knew it was going to take up a lot of my time. I asked her about it, and she said, "Wow, you went through this yourself, you came to Andorra, you were all alone... Give him a hand and see how you can help him." That's how I started working with him; more in a friendly way than on contracts, going to train together, understanding what he needed, and I realized he didn't need much. All he needed was a friend to train with, go to races with, feel supported, and be able to talk about technical things with someone," he tells MOTORBIKE MAGAZINE.
