Manu Urcera, a well-known figure in Argentine Turismo Carretera and Top Race racing series, made a surprising revelation during his appearance on "Almorzando con Juana" (Lunching with Juana), a popular Argentine talk show hosted by Juana Viale.
When the host asked if he planned to give a motorcycle to his son Cruz when the boy turns four, Urcera responded without hesitation: "I already bought it." The statement surprised the host and the audience, as the child is not yet two years old.
For context, Juana Viale is a famous Argentine actress and television host, granddaughter of the iconic actress Nacha Guevara. Her show is a staple of Argentine daytime television, known for its intimate interviews with celebrities.
Urcera clarified that the gift was actually from Santa Claus during the past Christmas season. The vehicle is an electric motorcycle designed for children, adapted with training wheels to ensure safety for a toddler.
"I put training wheels on it, and it runs; he likes it," Urcera explained. He compared the feeling of the electric bike to riding a "50", a reference to 50cc motorcycles often used by beginners, indicating it provides a realistic but safe sensation for the child.
The racing driver defended his decision by highlighting the educational benefits of the toy. According to Urcera, this type of vehicle is excellent for developing motor stability and coordination.
He cited his experience with his nephew, noting that using similar electric vehicles helped significantly with balance, making the transition to a pedal bicycle much easier. The family environment is clearly motorsports-oriented; Cruz also has a balance bike (a bicycle without pedals) to play with at home.
The connection to the racing world is strong in the Urcera-Neumann household. Nicole Neumann, a famous Argentine model and television personality, often shares glimpses of their family life. Recently, she and Cruz accompanied Manu to the Campeonato RUS de TN APAT held in La Plata.
In that event, photographers captured young Cruz wearing regulatory hearing protection while watching the races from the pits, proving that safety is a priority for the family. Despite Urcera's demanding professional schedule, Neumann has described him as a committed father who integrates his children into his passions.
