I am speaking out of pure memory, but yes.....

Sounds to me like she isn't racing, just riding the bike "after Valencia". But it is the first step!

Reminds me a little bit of Tom Cruise in "Days of Thunder" when he took the pro's car out for a test drive...and got the spot :)

Wow, that’s cool.

I remember her one day at Laguna on one of the KeigWins Track day. She kicked everybody ass on group “A” that time.

Also I remember her walking in the Paddock area. She was little girl that time now she is cute! Need a boyfriend?  ;D

First time I met Elena, I stood right in front of her then walked away not recognising her in Leo Bagnis's shop. I thought she was Leo's daughter. lol Leo trains her. That was like a week before she won her AMA Pro race at Infineon. Which made her the first female rider to win a AMA Pro Race. Not bad for 16.

Easy boys, she's still only 16.

JP, I don't know of the Moto GP rules pertaining to a girl, but I don't see how they could say no if she was able to qualify.

Yeah if she's qualifing your in. I think she's one of the elite female riders that has a chance to do real good. She's doing well for now. But we all know the people riding in the front of the pack of AMA ain't no Joke. And their still not good enough for World yet. Let alone MotoGP. So she does have a way to go. Sure is going to be nice to watch ;) ;)

In prison, you'd probably be thought of as cute too. Two more years before you can have those thoughts... Unless you're a 16yr old boy that is.

Crazy! It would be nice to have a girl/woman on the motogp doing something else than holding an umbrella!  ;D

And sorry about the jokes guys, we sometimes forget that you guys have this rule of under 18 (16 here in NV) and also it's hard to remember that she is 16 year old once she races sportbikes and stuff. But I was just JOKING. Just to make this clear. Very clear!

A little something on that ride offered to Elena. This is a video with various "paddock chatter" but Elena is in it about the 6 minute mark.
