MotoGP: The Gresini team, an email and a goat: the puzzle for Marquez's announcement

The Gresini team wanted to joke about the most awaited announcement of the year: the arrival of Marc Marquez among its ranks. Before sending out the official press release, a very strange email appeared. “IT'S ALL TRUE” the subject line read, in capital letters. When I opened it, a fake error message read "cannot goat message". A play on words with 'got' and 'goat' and, in fact, by clicking on it an image of the cute animal appeared.

Why? The Anglo-Saxons use the term GOAT as an acronym for Greatest Of All Time. A name reserved for champions, like Marc Marquez (even if no one, in truth, has ever called him that). The puzzle has therefore been solved and the real press release arrived.
