Talmacsi was on his motorbike once again, in a slightly different setting, in Zita Debreczeni’s photo studio.

“My life is very busy, and I am enjoying every minute of it. I have numerous tasks, with my race team being priority, and I am finishing my studies at the University of Physical Education, in sports management. I am also an ambassador for Shell lubricants, and this photo-shoot is an important part of it.”

Besides photography, Zita enjoys motorcycling since she grew up in a family that had a special interest in it.

“Motorcycles are an essential part of my life, it is necessary for me and my family. It has been since I was a child, as my father was a motorcycle mechanic, and I woke up to the sound of bikes every morning. My two brothers really like bikes as well, and my mom still rides a motorcycle at the age of 65,” smiled Zita.

“I have a Vespa that I ride regularly, which I received from Gabor Talmacsi on my name day. It is also signed by him, which is something that only happens to a lucky few. Before I started riding a motorcycle, I went to the Talmacsi Ring, where Gabor’s father helped and taught me more about bikes, so now I feel confident in the traffic.” added Zita.

“Zita has not yet sat behind me on a motorcycle, so it is something that we will do soon. We will have numerous activities this year where people can find out what it feels like to ride with a world champion. Where others would break already, I am still on the throttle, breaking much later. On the professional track, the tires have much higher grip than on the everyday road, and this is why motorcycle racing is so amazing. Many people ask me how fast I go on an everyday basis, but I obey all road rules and speed limits. Racing and riding a motorcycle on the street are two very different things. Racing on a circuit is an art, where tires have much higher grip, with tighter corners, and quick acceleration and braking. Its something that cannot be compared to anything else,” said Gabor.

Gabor Talmacsi was appointed as an ambassador of the Shell Lubricants.

“It is a huge honour for me to be able to represent such a premium oil product. Shell can be seen in numerous places, including MotoGP, DTM, or in rally motorsport. Being a world champion, it is fantastic for me to bring this oil technology to the public’s awareness. Since my name is well-known in motorsports, I am confident that I can represent this outstanding brand, and we plan a lot of exciting events for this year,” said Gabor.
