Emilio Alzamora, 125 cc world champion in 1999 and manager of Marc Márquez for 17 years, decided last October to take a professional turn in his life by founding a company (SeventyTwo Motorsports, part of the company SeventyTwo Sports Group that runs the former tennis player Galo Blanco) dedicated to hunting for new motorcycling talents. His first bet was to sign Carlos Cano, who at the age of 13 was already under the orders of Paco Mármol, discoverer and coach of the Moto2 and Moto3 world champion Pedro Acosta. The young driver from Murcia has had a love affair with gasoline and speed since his father, with whom he shares a name, gave him the motorcycle bug. «I was an amateur pilot. My daughter didn’t like motorcycles and I was going to run to Cartagena and take the kid with me,” explains Carlos Cano Sr. in a conversation with ABC. And he adds: “When he was four years old I started taking him to Pakote school and at first he was afraid of the noise of the motorcycles, but when he got together with other children…” He started going on Saturdays but Mármol, who also discovered Fermín Aldeguer, saw that he had the material and started training during the week. At six years old he started competing and at eight he was already a Minimoto champion. In 2019 he achieved the triple crown (he won the Levante Cup and was Regional champion and champion of Spain). The following year he won the Cuna Campeones, in 2023 he was runner-up in Spain in the Premoto3 category. And this past October he won the European Talent Cup, adding six victories and seven podiums in ten races in his first season in the category, where he is one of the youngest at just 14 years old. young age have been decisive, and we firmly believe in his potential to help him develop a professional career in the world of motorcycling,” explains Emilio Alzamora, who assures that two races were enough to sign him for his team: “I saw that he was fast, brave, aggressive and had a way of driving with a lot of potential, but I didn’t know him personally. Alzamora considers that they are facing a future rider on the MotoGP grid: “He has all the conditions to reach the GP and before that the Moto 3 World Championship, but everything is a process and these first steps are very important.” In this sense, the man from Ilerda adds: “Our technical team tries to help him improve his riding technique, to know how to set up the bike well and to know how to be fast riding alone.” Related News Standard Motogp No The ruthless attack of Rossi to Márquez: “No one has ever been so dirty” Sergi Font Il Dottore makes clear his bad relationship with the Catalan in the podcast ‘Mig Babol’ by pilot Andrea MignoCarlos repeats a single wish in all the interviews they do. “My dream since I was little is to get to MotoGP and race in the World Championship,” he reiterates to ABC as if it were a leitmotif etched in stone. On weekends he defies all the laws of gravity on a motorcycle, but during the week he is just another kid, who enjoys (and suffers) at school. «My teammates watch my races, they ask me how it went and how fast I am. I, on the bike, don’t notice anything, I enjoy more than I suffer,” he says before claiming the figure of Marc Márquez: “He has always been my reference. “Before it was Valentino Rossi but now I like Márquez more, how he approaches each race.” At home, they try to keep him grounded. «Motorcycles start as a hobby and you get better and better at it, but you have to have a plan B. In fact, plan B is motorcycles because plan A is to continue studying. “You don’t need to go to university, but you do need to have training and a degree,” says his father as they return from training.
