Today is Iván Silva's birthday. Happy birthday!

Today is a very special day for one of our MotoGP World Championship riders, as it is Iván Silva’s birthday. In the premier class, he began a new adventure this 2012 season: his first full year in MotoGP, riding for Blusens Avintia and their interesting CRT.

It has not been an easy season for the 22, but Silva is a hard-working rider, eager to keep moving forward and improving this very novel machine. The CRT is getting better day by day, and that is thanks to the work being done by both Iván and his teammate Yonny. So, step by step and race by race, with both the FTR chassis and the Inmotec.

Choosing Silva for the MotoGP team is a good decision, as he is a great developer, a real talent on track, and the current Spanish Stock Extreme and European champion. That is a lot of talent on track, not to mention what he has achieved with Inmotec during the years he has worked with them, building a machine that is nearly ready to make waves in the World Championship.

Now he heads to a new event that is unfamiliar to him, the Silverstone Grand Prix, where he will keep battling the rest of the CRTs in the championship. He will have to get the FTR pushing hard and keep up this complex work, which was started with great enthusiasm and a desire to keep building a competitive bike.

He turns 30 with great enthusiasm and a new adventure ahead. It is time to keep living and renewing day by day, so many happy returns to Iván, a true great.

Good luck and happy birthday, 22.
