Meet Mattia Guadagnini, our brand ambassador

Today we want to introduce you to Mattia Guadagnini, our brand ambassador and one of the most promising emerging talents in international motocross. After standing out in the minor championships, Guadagnini from Bassano has conquered prestigious goals in the MX2 category, including heat victories and excellent placements in the general classification, demonstrating talent, determination and incredible technical mastery.

His move to the MXGP premier class, one of the world's most prestigious off-road motorcycle competitions, was a natural evolution of his career. The MXGP, reserved for motorcycles with 450cc four-stroke engines, sees the best riders in the world compete on dirt circuits of all kinds in international locations in two heats for each Grand Prix, collecting points for the general classification.

In the interview that follows, Mattia talks about his journey in motocross, the challenges he faced, and the crucial role of Taopatch® in improving his performance and physical recovery. From tips for beginners to the hidden truths of an often underestimated sport, Mattia offers us a unique look into the world of off-road two-wheelers.

Hi Mattia, thank you for taking the time to spend time with us today. How did you approach the world of motocross?

I approached the world of motocross thanks to my dad. He raced for passion and participated in some regional championships. Since I was a child, I used to go to see his races and I became passionate about the world of motorcycles. As soon as I reached the minimum age, at the age of four, my parents gave me a motorcycle, and from there my adventure began.

What are the biggest difficulties of this sport?

The biggest difficulties are certainly related to injuries. It is a dangerous sport: you race together with other riders and there are often contacts and falls. This increases the risk of injury, which can create problems. Staying away from injuries is already a great advantage. In addition, the training and physical performance required are very demanding.

How did you hear about Taopatch®?

I met Taopatch® thanks to another pilot, Eric, who is from the same country as me. He advised me to try the devices because he found it very well. He thought they could help me in competitions, and they did.

How did technology help you during MXGP? In preparation, in competitions and in recovery?

The level of the opponents is very high, and the Taopatch® devices have helped me especially in recovering from injuries and training, as well as in improving performance. They gave me greater balance and greater confidence both in training and in competitions.

What other aspects of your health have improved?

I have noticed improvements mainly on a sporting level. For the rest, I can't say precisely, but I think that each person can have different effects.

Do you have any technical advice to give to amateur sportsmen or those who would like to start with motocross?

I recommend everyone to try! The adrenaline and passion that arise from practicing this sport are difficult to compare to anything else. It is an experience that involves and excites quickly. It is a beautiful sport that gives unique emotions.

What is the secret to having a successful sports career?

The main secret is to stay away from injuries. The level is very high, and when you get hurt, it's difficult to recover. Recovering quickly or avoiding injuries is a big help, although it's almost inevitable in a sport like motocross.

What myth would you like to dispel about motocross racing?

From the outside it looks much easier than it really is. Many people think that it is enough to get on the bike and give gas, but in reality it requires a great deal of physical effort. Controlling the bike, deciding the lines and managing jumps is much more complex than it seems.

Would you recommend Taopatch® to other athletes and professional colleagues?

Absolutely yes. I would recommend Taopatch® to everyone, not only to motocross colleagues but also to other sportsmen. It's a valuable help, but to really understand the effects, you have to experience them for yourself. The difference is immediately noticeable and I would like to thank Dr. Fontana. His work and the support he offers are fundamental, especially for us athletes. Thank you for everything you make available.
