Patchelicious Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 my search got stuck at this point http://cdn05.motorsportretro.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/resize_d05hun13741.jpgI'll be back shortly..... forkie 1
Gnarly Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 No man, I reckon Forkie is right. Nr1 on the number board, very long, thin tank (reminiscent of the 90's era 500's) and nobody's had a colour scheme like that since the Marlboro days. If you have a look at a blown up pic of it http://yadogg.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/motorcycle-crash-1.jpg We have #15 and I'd say definitely an Aprilia, Check the left forearm writing on the leathers. Puig, cant remember his first name, keeps coming to mind. forkie 1

forkie Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 A quick google search cant find an Aprillia with a white tank
Gnarly Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Alberto. And damn, we all missed it! Cant find a picture of him on a #15 though.
forkie Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 the only marlboro 15 I can find is Sete Gibernau Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
forkie Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 of course this pic could have been taken at some regional race and just stuck into this collection to p1ss us off Patchelicious and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Patchelicious Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 We have #15 and I'd say definitely an Aprilia, Check the left forearm writing on the leathers. Puig, cant remember his first name, keeps coming to mind.Puig never rode 125s.... He rode a few red Yamahas, but mostly 500cc Puig ran many teams, probably one of his riders.

Patchelicious Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 If it says Puig on the arm, and that helmet looks a little like a Redbull one, it could make some sense, as Alberto run the Red Bull MotoGP Academy, BUT at worlds they are all KTMs.... Maybe this is from a old feeder academy?

Maybe this is from a old feeder academy?no, it's aprilia on the arm, not Puig. For some reason it looks like an old pic - no bubble on the leathers, old graphics design on the lid (not RB, looks more like stripes)
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Also no sliders on the arms...
Patchelicious Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) From 1996, looks like a different rider this is Peter Ottl, due to number, but bike shape, disks and colours seem pretty close: http://v4.sportnetwork.net/mainadmin/img/1801082576728.jpg Edited October 8, 2015 by Patchelicious Gnarly and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 May be Roberto Locatelli... He was on Aprilia for a while and was at times nr15
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Fuggit. I've now searched the internet se moer in, and nothing. Nada. ONLY Place that image exists is in that meme, or countless "pins" or "retweets" or "reposts" of it on various Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter and FB accounts. We shall never know who the elusive nr 15 is. Wannabe 1
bertusras Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Nope, I also had Locatelli, but eliminated him from my list. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Patchelicious 2
