THE HUMAN SIDE OF THE PILOTS. TONI EL�AS, A FAMILY GUY

What a role do the following people�have�in your life?
Your father Toni.
"Everything,� he is the most important person in my life. Since my first memories as a child until today, the beginnings of my experiences in the world of motorcycling, I owe him everything. He has always helped me, he still does, and he will keep on doing�so in the future. He is my main adviser."
Your mother Mey.
"Just like my father, although maybe my father has been more involved on the racing side of things and�my mother�with family and home�life. I also owe her everything and alongside my father, she is the most important person in my life."
Your sister Laura.
"My sister... she is so sweet, the youngest in the family, she�is�fascinated by everything that is happening. She comes to some of the races and has a terrific time. For her, I'm only Toni, her brother, and if there is something I can do to help her, I do it and that's that. We have a good relationship."


A myth in the world of motorcycling?
"Wayne Rainey, he's my idol and has been the main�reference for me; a great rider and a great person."

A�person of reference�outside of�the racing world?
"My parents, they have always been the people I have admired most."

Is there life�away from�races?
"Yes, why not? Racing is my passion, but I'm also aware that this has a time limit,� that one day it will come to an end. When I'm not racing, I like to spend time with my family and friends, work out, learn English, listen to music, spend time with my friends... The usual things a guy of my age would do."


Dogs or cats?
"Dogs. We have two dogs at home, two Yorkshire terriers, BW�s and Mini"

The sea or mountains?
"You've�got me there. Not long ago I used to like the sea a lot, but now I have�started to like the mountains, so right now, I keep both my�options open".

What does fame taste like?
"I liked it at the beginning, it was something new, but after a while it gets a bit tiresome. Anyway, I guess it's normal, another part of my job, and no matter if you are famous or not, the most important thing is to know where your place is."

The swot or the nightmare of the class?
"The nightmare, there isn't much of a swot in me... When I�studied, I used to�pass, but never more than needed, always by a whisker."

A car?
"My dream is to have a Porsche, but that dream is still quite far away... What model? A 911, of course".

Does music calm the beasts?
"Music is one of the things I like most. I do not prefer any style in particular; I like all kinds of music, except�techno style music. For me, it is something which is necessary. Before going out to the track, I usually listen to music and, also,�I�normally�go to sleep listening to music."


Does champagne taste different on the podium?
"Yeeeees. I don't like champagne at all, but on the podium I would never stop drinking it!

The Euro confuses me?
"A�little at the moment, I still haven't got�it under control, but, well, I hope it will get better with time".

A quality?
"I think I'm a good person. I'm sure there�are people who think the opposite, but I consider myself a good person."

A defect?
"Perhaps sometimes I'm too much of a good person, but, anyway, you also learn from your mistakes".


A movie?
"My favourite movie is Pretty Woman, the one with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. Call me romantic, but..."

A religion?
"I am a believer, despite not going to�mass very much, I�believe�in the Virgin of Montserrat a lot."

Ideologically, right or left?
"I'm not interested in politics, I don't like�them at all. All I want is my world; bikes, my people and that they let me live in peace."

"Spain is different"?
"Yes, I think we have it all in Spain: food,�weather� I have to travel a lot due to my profession and I have visited some very beautiful countries, but there is nothing like Spain. Life is very good in our country".

I would define myself as...
"An extroverted person, I like to have fun, to make jokes, to laugh and to enjoy life. I'm also an ambitious person, I fight hard to reach my goals. I like to spend time with my friends and family and to know that they support me."
