About Dani Rivas
Last week, Eduardo Salvador was trying to keep the best memory of Dani Rivas, sadly deceased together with Bernat Martínez on July 19 in a MotoAmerica race at the Laguna Seca circuit. He was his manager at Boxmotos.com easyRace, the team with which the Galician rider competed in the FIM CEV Repsol. "No one will speak ill of him, you'll see. He was one of those people who immediately transmit joy, always in a good mood, always making jokes, but the most professional of all. Very methodical, always training. Everybody loved him in the paddock, his father is an authority figure there. Dani never caused any problems. He had everything to succeed, but he had very bad luck, with very bad sports decisions in his life," he said in an interview with Diario AS.
Tribute to Dani Rivas
In the last few hours, there have been displays of affection and remembrance for Rivas, especially moving in the town of Moaña, where he was born. Pilots like Aleix Espargaró, Ricky Cardús, and Luis Cardoso came there. And there, at the wake in Reibón Pavilion, his teammates from Boxmotos.com easyRace paid the best tribute to Dani: revving his motorcycle, placed next to the coffin with the mortal remains of the rider. "Dale Gass Dani wherever you are...," says the team's Facebook page. Rarely has the sound of a motorcycle been so emotional.
