Exclusive, Celestino Vietti: “I want to become like Bagnaia”
The interview to the Piemontese: “My future? On track, maybe in MotoGP, but no hurry. Valentino Rossi? He gives me the energy to win the Moto2 title”
“Look at how young Pecco was... I also was so much younger, I remember already looking at him with the desire to be like him”. In front of the pictures of his past, Celestino Vietti Ramus finds himself in front of a photo from 2013, with Bagnaia in the san Carlo Team Italia leathers.
Near him, two kids, one of them daydreaming of emulating the path of his fellow countryman Pecco: “I won the entrance to the paddock of the Misano GP thanks to a contest: I had to colour the livery of Pecco’s bike. My drawing was terrible...” remembers Celestino today. “I could have never known that a couple of years later I would have joined Bagnaia in the VR46 Riders Academy. He’s always been a model for me, we come from the same province, I took his same route”.
The goal of the twenty years old, today, is completing the work: Vietti is leader of the same Moto2 that Bagnaia won in 2018, with the same Made in Tavullia team, before getting to MotoGP. The big stage, where “Celin” would be able to find himself at ease, him who finds himself comfortable in his Coassolo – holiday destination for people from Turin – like in Tavullia, away from his family that he hasn’t seen in a couple of months. “Maybe this is the longest period I’ve been away from them, but I feel good here too. Who goes away from home young adapts better to places and situations. And it has also been my choice, I’ve been chasing a dream. But home is always home, and I miss my family”.
The World Championship makes you grow up fast, but if you add to it being away from home... “Yes, you grow up. You discover a lot of things, you have to make do: i lived the first period with enthusiasm, because everything was new. Now, when I get back from races, the first thing to do is the washing, and then getting everything in order. I’m a bit the “housewife” (laughs)”.
Are you a tidy person?
“No, and actually in the team me and Niccolò Antonelli compensate each other... but independence is important: you have your experiences, you learn a bit how to manage yourself, you learn how what seemed taken for granted, actually isn’t. And home is always home”.
But now you have your own house, in Tavullia.
“I bought a house, and I know that doing so at twenty isn’t common. I did it thinking and calculating that in the next years I will be here, I will train here. Let’s say, it’s an investment. Moving hasn’t been hard, in the end it’s been just a few meters”.
How is your typical day?
“The most difficult ones are those after travelling back from a race: doing the washing, grocery shopping, maybe going to the business consultant or something like that. And you also train a lot”
Then, how FP results suggest, waking up is always a delicate moment...
“(laughs) Let’s say that in FPs I find myself in bigger difficulties when I’m not immediately okay: I’m still ‘machine-like’, I’m working on it”.
You’re a race animal instead.
“Making a lot of consecutive laps helps me, because lap after lap I can shave a lot of little things working on my riding. During the race you can study your opponents better, that are maybe more explosive during FPs”.
You started with 70 points won from the 75 available in the first three GPs, then you went down. What happened?
“Maybe it comes from my ‘little’ explosivity. And in GPs outside of Europe, everybody goes in a bit blind sighted”.
But emerging when everybody is in blind sighted is a sign of talent.
“Maybe it is”.
Did being the rider to beat condition you or is it a pure mediatic suggestion?
“I don’t feel it a lot, even if I feel more watched and followed. The problem, for me, is dealing with difficult moments knowing I’m leading the Championship. In FPs I often told myself ‘no, I can’t be in this position’. I tend to blame myself when things don’t go well”.
Does Valentino Rossi’s advice remain the same, “always believe in it a bit more”?
“Yes, Vale motivates me. And above all else gives good advice. He watched me from the side track in Portimao, he asks a lot of question in general, he inquires. And then he still trains with us, and he’s always fast”.
Did you imagine being so high up in your second year of Moto2 already?
“No, I was picturing more difficulties. I was expecting the first podium and the first victory, yes, but not in the first attempt in Qatar”
Who’s the first rival for the title?
“Aron Canet, who’s my opposite: he’s super fast from the first lap of the weekend. He hasn’t won yet, but he’s good. Ogura always takes something home. And Chantra surprised me”.
How do you win a world Championship?
“Always getting to the finish line. Thing I didn’t do in Austin, where I also tried to manage a bit. Bad mistake”.
How do you position yourself in from of the new duality between Enea Bastianini and Pecco Bagnaia in MotoGP?
“it’s nice to see italians in front, in Le Mans we saw an exciting battle, unfortunately in didn’t finish under the chequered flag. I’m a bit on Bagnaia’s side, I’ll admit it”
What does he represent for you?
“He’s a great MotoGP rider, I saw him riding and ‘hitting like a blacksmith’ again also on the GP22, and it’s a sight for the eyes. Pecco has always been a model, he brought our territory in the bike world, he won a title, he is in MotoGP on the official Ducati. It’s impossible not to dream about following his steps”
You had another model-rider, in your family.
“My big brother Doriano started riding minibikes, and imagine if I, being much more vivacious than him (to not say something else), would settle for watching him. I’m happy for where he is, with Aprilia in the CIV’s superbike, even if the injury before the championship hasn’t helped him”.
Doriano and Celestino: will you be the third generation in the family business of repairing agricultural machines or will the rider career bring you somewhere else?
“He already works with dad: me and Doriano went to the same mechanic school in Turin. I also would like to carry on dad’s work, my uncles’, my grandpa’s. I admire Doriano because he works during the day and then he trains. It’s hard, he’s told me so, but he doesn’t want to stop. I think of him when I have some problem, maybe a lot of commitments, or I miss home, because I live a life I like, I’m lucky. And when I leave for a GP, I always do it willing, because I know that transforming a passion in your job is not for everyone”.
So you see yourself World Champion and then in the family business?
“That’s the plan, I’d hate to interrupt everything that my family has created”.
How far is MotoGP?
“It depends on how much we grow, and I don’t use the plural casually, because this is a grow path we take all together. With the Team Mooney-VR46 we win and we lose as if we were only one person. Saying all this, I wouldn’t want to make a too rushed transition, I’d like to get some satisfaction in Moto2 and to be ready for the moment of the jump”.
Do the rumours that picture you close to the top class influence you?
“No, I’m able to stay calm. When I hear people talking about certain possibilities, I think about it a bit, but I doesn’t interest me at races. And above all else I don’t change my way of doing things”.
2020 was the year of passing the maturità, 2021 accompanied you to buying a house: what is the big goal of 2022?
“Staying where I am now, until the end”.
Like Bagnaia did, some time ago, another torinese who left home as a teenager to move to Tavullia and carch a dream. Celestino Vietti Ramus has been ready to receive that baton for almost ten years. Since than picture with his role model...

Celestino Vietti for Moto.it (08.02.2020)
translation under the cut
Celestino Vietti Ramus: “I’m the man of whys”
M: Celestino Vietti Ramus, team VR- Sky VR 46 Sky- how the fuck is it?
Cele: Sky VR46, it’s a bit long
M: the important thing is that you don’t get it wrong when you go on track
Cele: Exactly, exactly, otherwise they get angry with me
M: Celestino, let’s start with the serious questions. This year, what is your goal?
Cele: Well, this year is surely one where we have to try and be faster than last year, and use all the experience we got last year to try and always be in front to fight- not the podium but the first positions, it doesn’t always have to be the podium, you have to know how to settle for less. But I try to not give myself a too big of a goal, I want to try to start with my head free and then we will see where we are at the half season.
A: You have shown to be super mature already. You are in the ideal context to learn-
M: you are the most serious, out of everyone [of the academy]
A: you are the most serious out of everyone, in between other things-
M: no, maybe Luca beats you, Marini beats you
Cele: Yeah Luca, he is the most- the most serious out of everyone
A: but is he serious only outside or also inside? Because to me you’re serious, I mean, you’re a serious person
M: I think he’s just talking without knowing
Cele: well, yes-
A: it’s empathy, I mean, I see him and that’s what I perceive
Cele: let’s say that maybe I'm a bit more serious in the, let’s say, racing ambit in general, then outside I’m a bit...
A: a moron
Cele: I’m a bit of a moron outside, yes
M: What is your nickname inside the team?
Cele: Well, I was given “the man of whys” because I always make a thousand questions, I always bother everyone. But that’s fine by me
A: Like, the last “why?” you asked... Vale? Do you remember it?
Cele: Hell... no, right now I can’t remember it
A: Why can you do this corner this way...?
Cele: The problem is that... he explains it to me, but it’s not as easy as he says. And I try to do it, but I can’t do everything
A: you just have to release the brakes, things like this?
Cele: You just have to do it like this eh... I try it but it’s not that easy
M: How old are you?
Cele: Eighteen
M: Do you drive on the road also?
Cele: Eh, I’m getting my licence, I have the exam in a bit so I hope I will pass it
A: Car or bike?
Cele: Car, car
M: No, I meant bike [this misunderstanding comes from the fact that in italian we use the same verb for driving the car and riding the bike]
Cele: Ahhh, yes I ride the scooter
M: And about cars, what’s the car [you’d want]
A: Let’s put it like this, in ten years, when you’ve won one hundred world championships, you’re the king of motogp, you get here. What car do you get here with.
Cele: Well, I’ve always liked the Lamborghini, maybe one day I’ll be able to buy it but right now it’s not even slightly in my thoughts because I can’t do it, really
M: And in your private life, do you do damages there?
Cele: Yes, yes, a little something yes, something yes.
M: Like, do you have a girlfriend?
Cele: ...yes, yes.
A: Are you in negotiations?
M: You’re saying it with a bit of difficulty
A: Are we closing the deal?
Cele: No, we are... maybe I am in a bit of a difficult period, but...
M: But it’s possible that maybe...
Cele: I don’t know
M: Usually you say this to the other girls, I’m in a bit of a difficult period, you can say the truth to us
Cele: ...no, I can’t, I’m in a difficult period, that’s all I will say
M: It’s complicated
Cele: Yes.
M: Like, when is the last time you made love?
Cele: Some time ago but also because she’s from Turin-
M: Ah, ok
Cele: From where I’m from, and I am here so...
A: But here who do you live with?
Cele: Alone
M: With another girl
Cele: No, no!
M: We’re joking- what's her name?
Cele: Lisa
M: Lisa, we’re joking
M: This wing of the VR46 from Turin, how do we see it? Because Pecco is also from Turin, you are from that area,
Cele: Yes, I hope someday maybe to be able to, I don’t know, fight for a Championship in Motogp with Pecco, it would be amazing for our region... he’s done already a lot, I-
A: I thought you wanted to open an Academy, like, in the Langhe or something like that
Cele: Maybe in the future I might do it but it’s too much of a future thought, now I have to- in the end I haven’t done anything yet and I have to grow, I have to better myself so. We will se. Maybe someday
A: What are they doing to these guys, the way he answers
M: Since you are “the man of whys”, now we will ask you some whys.
Cele: Go, go
M: Why the number thirteen?
Cele: Because I was born on October 13th
A: This was was easy
Cele: It was easy
M: And why do you have the earring?
Cele: I always liked it and... this is the one that my dad had, I put it on... I like it
A: And why did you start riding?
Cele: Because... I liked it, my dad has always been passionate about it, so I started, he put me on my first minibike and... It all started from there
M: And why did you end up at the Academy?
Cele: Pff, question... Because in 2015 I was in the RMU team that had made a collab with the Academy and luckily... well, a bit of ability and a bit of luck
A: Exactly, your answer is wrong you should have told him, because I’m good
Cele: Nah, nah come on, it’s not me who has to say it
A: It’s us saying that you’re good
Cele: then maybe it’s because I was good, I won the championship and...
M: And now you’re here. Three things that Vale taught you, even without saying them to you
Cele: I think, coldness and lucidity in the difficult moments, to always have the right move at the right time, and being “simple” in the everyday life
M: Perfect, amazing things... I forgot the question I wanted to ask you. A serious one, truly serious, fundamental, but I forgot it. Maybe I’ll call you when I remember it
Cele: okay, fine, fine
M: Okay, Celestino Vietti, with Moto.it! Maybe the question will come to my mind. Bye!
Cele: Bye, bye!
Cele: Nice, nice, I liked it.
M: Nice, eh? Yeah, yeah. Ah! I remembered the question! Why Celestino Vietti Ramus?
Cele: because basically, where my grandpa lives, it’s a village called Vietti, and back in the days, I mean, the names were Giovanni, Giacomo, and they were all named Vietti, so to differentiate the families they used double surnames
M: And the double surname, where did they get it from?
Cele: I have no clue
M: Randomly
Cele: I think maybe it was a nickname they gave to the family or... these are all things from really long, long ago, I don’t even know them

Celestino Vietti at the 10th and last round of the CIV (11.10.2015)
Cele: "it has been- it has been an amazing season. I won almost every single race besides one, it went super well. I want to thank all my team, my mechanic Nicola who always made sure my bike was at 100%, all the fans who came to see me and my mom and my dad, because without them I wouldn't be racing"
