The Spaniard to BILD: “The contracts of players and coaches stipulate that dangerous activities such as motorcycling or skiing are prohibited during the season.”

His team finished the regular season 14th, clearly missing the playoffs. However, Ramírez stayed in Braunschweig – because his wife was expecting their second child, a daughter, these days. She was now born healthy.

He used the days off to go on a trip on a Harley Davidson Road King: “I met the manager of the branch at an event. And tells him that I love motorcycles. So he offered me to come to him and choose a bike.”

Said and done. He recently jetted through the Harz Mountains for eight hours. Only stopped for lunch (asparagus).

Braunschweig’s coach: Jesús is the Bundesliga’s biggest Harley fan

Ramírez: “I really enjoyed the trip. But at the same time I’m a bit wistful. Because I used to own a Harley myself. I had to sell them. Because I was a coach in Hungary and she was in the garage in Barcelona and got dirty.

Motorcycling was practically in his cradle. Ramírez says: “My uncle gave me my first motorcycle when I was three or four years old. It wasn’t a battery thing, it was really gas. My parents were anything but happy about it…”

He took driving lessons on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where Formula 1 races are also held. Later also rode a speed bike.

Today he says: “It’s not about driving fast for me. I just enjoy the feeling of sitting on a motorcycle.”

And what happened to his first motorcycle? That laid the foundation for a world career. Ramírez: “I later gave it to my cousin. This in turn was given to a friend from our town.”

The boyfriend? Aleix Espargaró (33), rider in MotoGP. He has one win in 224 starts. His brother Pol (31) even won the world title in 2013.
