Tony Arbolino will take to the track this weekend at the Sachsenring, and he'll be carrying in his heart, and on his skin, the memory of his friend, Borja Gomez. Just a few days after the sad passing of the 20-year-old Spanish rider - who lost his life following a tragic accident that occurred on the first day of practice of the Moto2 European Championship at Magny-Cours, the Italian rider decided to pay tribute to his memory by having Gomez's initials and the number "12", his race number, tattooed on his side.
This is a sign of the great friendship that bound the two riders and that Tony wanted to make permanent, after having already paid a touching farewell to Borja on the day of his passing. "Thank you for everything we shared. Dor the good times, the difficult times, for always supporting me, and for that friendship that was always sincere. You were more than a friend. I'll always carry you in my heart,"Arbolino wrote on his social media profiles. Now he'll have the memory of his friend "Borjita" to keep with him, always.
