What can we say except we happen to like Dakota Mamola and are a little bit biased about this up and coming racing brat, so sue us.

The kid is polite, educated and already has sponsors tripping all over him, however we’d like to see more of him racing and if he can live up to his daddy’s fame and one day become a fan favourite in the big leagues.

Here’s a new video of Dakota talking about how important education and physicial training are.

It’s going to be interesting to see what type of promos Alpinestars will have Jorge Lorenzo doing this year, but for the moment we have 16-year old Dakota Mamola, son of the legendary Randy, strutting his stuff for the Italian motorcycle apparel maker.

Mamola raced in the 2010 British 125 Championship for Team KRP finishing 15th, but competing in only five races with a best result of a 2nd place podium at Snetterton.

Enjoy the video.

We like to follow the up-and-coming racing careers of those race ‘brats’ who would like to follow the tracks of their famous fathers. We’ve got the Rossi’s, the Roberts’, the Haslam’s, the Nieto’s, the Pons’ and several other racing families and we’ve also got Dakota, the 15 year old son of the iconic Randy Mamola.

Dakota won his first race last year in Valencia racing in Metrakit 125cc Pre-GP Campeonato Mediteraneo de Velocidad (Mediterranean Championship) with team Monlau, and this year will contest in twelve races in the British 125cc GP Championship and in several races in Spain.

Mamola will race for Team KRP, founded and managed by Mark Keen and supported by this year’s 125cc runner up Bradley Smith.Dakota’s team mate will be Taylor Mackenzie (Red Bull Rookies Cup) and son of another famous GP rider and 3 times BSB champion, Niall Mackenzie.

It can’t be easy being the son of what the world once considered the most exciting and charismatic Grand Prix motorcycle racers of his generation, but Dakota Mamola, the 15-year-old son of four-time 500cc World Championship runner-up Randy Mamola, is trying to live up to his famous name and on Sunday took his first ever win.

In the final round of the Metrakit 125cc Pre-GP Campeonato Mediteraneo de Velocidad (Mediterranean Championship) at Valencia, the red headed youngster who looks like Bradley Smith’s kid brother was 17th on a grid of 42 riders, took off like a rocket and found himself fifth at the first corner and despite rain swept conditions managed to take his first win.

Riding for the Monlau Team run by Emilio Alzamora, the former 125cc World Champion, Mamola junior races in two different championships. Dakota also saw the podium when he finished third last March in the Pre-125 class of the Campionats de Catalunya de Motociclisme at the Catalunya circuit.

Dakota who speaks English, French, Spanish and Catalan (how many 15 year olds do you know that speak four languages) is sponsored by Monster Energy, Arai helmets, and Alpinestars leathers.

Another kid is going to try to follow in his dad’s footsteps and this time it’s Dakota Mamola, son of former Gran Prix rider and commentator Randy Mamola.

Dakota, a red headed kid with braces on his teeth will ride with team Monlau under the guidance of Emilio Alzamora, the 1999 125cc World Champion. The Monlau team is a company that trains and encourages young and talented riders and also mechanics who start from the basics and aim for the Grand Prix series.

Dakota will be racing in the Campeonato Mediterráneo de Velocidad (CMV) in the Pre-125GP category.

The track record of the program is proven by the fact that Marc Marquez will be riding his second season in the 125cc World Championship.
