After a long time, Lin Yan finally calmed his emotions.
This was a very normal thing on the Isle of Man. Perhaps it was due to the transmigration, but Lin Yan's mindset had also changed.
The qualifying races outside were still continuing, but due to the weather and considering tire grip, the speeds were not as fast.
Zhang Mingzhi was on the phone in the pit garage.
He was preparing for the MotoGP Shanghai Grand Prix the day after tomorrow. There were many things to prepare before the race, and as the chief technician, he had a lot of work to do.
The MotoGP season had sixteen races, and the Shanghai Grand Prix was the fourth round. Lin Yan had missed the first three rounds.
There were still three days left before the Shanghai Grand Prix began. This was a tight schedule, and Lin Yan had to hurry to recover from his arm injury.
The sixteen rounds of MotoGP spanned sixteen countries, and the Shanghai Grand Prix was also the home race for Chinese riders.
In Lin Yan's first year participating in MotoGP and reaching the highest class, he had never lost on this track. In the ten years prior, Lin Yan had consecutively won the Shanghai Grand Prix ten times. This achievement was legendary at the time.
When Lin Yan stood on this track, it meant that other riders could only compete for second place.
However, with Lin Yan's current body, he might not be able to win the championship.
He would take it one step at a time, was Lin Yan's thought.
The qualifying race ended at five o'clock, and Lin Yan and Zhang Mingzhi prepared to return to the hotel. The staff were also busy packing up the items in the pit garage.
The car had been repaired for a long time and was almost finished, but some parts needed to be found to match it back at the base.
The repair cost of this car had already exceeded its original value, but Zhang Mingzhi still intended to fix it.
This was because the car symbolized the first time a Chinese rider stood on the pinnacle of the Isle of Man, and it was also the beginning of Lin Yan's first world championship.
After securing and packing the car, Zhang Mingzhi notified the local train to transport it to the airport, where it would be loaded onto a private jet tomorrow and taken back.
Just as they were finishing packing and everyone was preparing to leave the pit garage.
Gu Yueyan and Reba walked in. Because Gu Yueyan was there, the staff did not stop them.
Gu Yueyan was still dressed as she was yesterday, but since it was almost evening, she was not wearing sunglasses.
Because Lin Yan was sitting right by the entrance, Gu Yueyan and Reba saw him as soon as they entered.
"Lin Yan, I didn't expect you to really be an Isle of Man rider, and such a good one!"
Lin Yan was watching a commentary video by Teacher Bao and didn't see Gu Yueyan enter. He only turned around when he heard her words.
He happened to see Gu Yueyan giving him a thumbs-up.
Lin Yan smiled at her as a response. He could understand her previous disbelief that he was an Isle of Man rider.
From Gu Yueyan's common sense, riders who actually participated in races usually traveled by private jet and rarely by commercial flights. If they took commercial flights, wouldn't the race cars also need to be air-freighted?
Moreover, Isle of Man riders of Chinese nationality were extremely rare, so it was normal for her not to believe it.
At this moment, Reba, standing next to Gu Yueyan, was no longer as lively as when she first saw Lin Yan.
Reba now looked a little excited, with the nervousness of a fan meeting their idol. She wanted to say something but seemed hesitant.
Seeing Reba's nervous appearance, with her face flushed and words unspoken, Lin Yan looked confused.
This person? Why has she become like this? Could watching a race have made her brain go haywire?
It couldn't be, she was fine before the race. Did watching a race make her abnormal?
Ignoring the seemingly 'abnormal' Reba, Lin Yan greeted them and walked straight past them.
His arm was still sore, and Lin Yan planned to find a masseuse at the hotel to give him a massage.
"Hey... no, you..."
Seeing Lin Yan walk past her, Reba quickly ran to stop him.
Lin Yan looked confused.
What did she mean? If you have something to say, say it quickly! I'm in a hurry, you know!
"Um... Lin Yan, can you give me an autograph!"
Saying that, Reba rummaged through her bag, took out paper and a pen, and handed them over.
Lin Yan finally understood what she meant. So she wanted an autograph. If you wanted an autograph, you should have said so earlier. Otherwise, I would have thought... He took the paper and quickly signed his name on it, then handed it back.
Then he directly turned and got into a small vehicle that Zhang Mingzhi and the others had arranged.
"Yay! Got it, the first autograph from a world champion is in hand!"
Taking Lin Yan's autograph, Reba excitedly waved her hand, struck a victorious pose, put Lin Yan's autograph back into her bag, and preserved it carefully.
Speaking of which, this was indeed Lin Yan's first autograph after winning the championship. No, it was the first autograph since coming to this world.
Gu Yueyan looked at this scene with a mix of amusement and helplessness. She and Reba had met in college. Initially, like Reba, Gu Yueyan had studied acting, but later, because her acting skills were truly not commendable, she transferred to the modeling department.
Lin Yan waited in the car for a few minutes. Zhang Mingzhi and the others finally finished packing up.
Everyone got into the three-wheeled vehicle used for the racetrack and drove towards their hotel.
"Hey, can't you give us a ride?"
It was only then that Reba reacted and shouted at the departing three-wheeled vehicle.
"Alright, stop shouting. We can rent one ourselves."
Looking at Reba's appearance, Gu Yueyan was also speechless.
