Sete's Web Book
After Alex Crivillé and before Jorge Lorenzo, Sete Gibernau
was Spain’s hope to bring home the MotoGP World Championship title and
for almost three years he was considered one of the ‘aliens’ even before
the term was coined.
Gibernau riding for Gresini’s Telefonica Movistar-Honda team pushed
Valentino Rossi hard for the title during the 2003 and 2004 seasons with
the rivalry becoming something that would fill newspapers as much as
that between Rossi and Max Biaggi. Rossi’s infamous 2004 Qatar curse
and his aggressive final lap overtaking manouever during the 2005
Spanish GP would plague the Spanish rider for the rest of his racing
career and he would never win a race again.
In 2006 he switched to Ducati only to be plagued by injuries
following the horrific crash during the Barcelona GP and at the end of
the season decided to retire. In 2009 Gibernau decided to make a
comeback with the Onde 2000 Grupo Francisco Hernando satellite team run
by Angel Nieto, but broke his collarbone during a practice session at Le
Mans and two months later the team folded due to financial
difficulties.
Gibernau decided that he had enough of racing and retired definitely
and now has posted this fantastic book on his website that contains some
magnificent public and private photos and even dedicates several pages
to his grandfather and his motorcycle company Bultaco.
