#John Galliano is one of the most brilliant — and most troubling — figures in modern fashion. Earlier this year,…
By K Futur TREИDNSETTERSThere are race days, and then there are race days — and our visit to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix was nothing short of spectacular. Hosted by DENSSI, the forward-thinking nicotine pouch brand and principal sponsor of the BOE Motorsport Team in Moto3, we were treated to a thrilling immersion in the world of elite motorcycle racing. It was a day of speed, sound, and behind-the-scenes access — one that redefined what it means to witness motorsport up close.
DENSSI, a rising force in the alternative nicotine industry, has been making waves by aligning itself with high-performance, lifestyle-driven events across the globe. But its partnership with BOE Motorsport — one of the most exciting teams in the Moto3 class — goes far beyond branding. It’s a relationship built on shared values: innovation, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
From the moment we arrived at Silverstone, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation. As guests of DENSSI, we were granted rare access to the inner workings of the BOE Motorsport team — including their pit box, paddock area, and most crucially, their people. It’s one thing to watch a Moto3 race on television; it’s another entirely to stand within touching distance of the mechanics fine-tuning every element of a high-performance racing machine, just minutes before it launches into competition.
BOE Motorsport is no stranger to pressure or performance. Founded with a vision to nurture emerging talent and challenge the established order, the Spanish outfit has become a respected force on the Moto3 grid. Their philosophy centres around developing riders capable of ascending the ranks of motorcycle racing — and their track record speaks volumes. In recent seasons, the team has achieved notable points finishes and consistently challenged for top-ten positions, punching above their weight in one of the most competitive classes in world motorsport.
Away from Silverstone, BOE Motorsport has left its mark on circuits across the calendar — from the sweeping turns of Jerez and the technical complexity of Assen, to the speed-fuelled straights of Mugello. In 2023, the team’s performances across Europe and Asia caught the eye of fans and insiders alike, particularly with strong showings in Indonesia and Japan. Their results reflect a team on the rise — not just participating, but threatening the established elite.
At Silverstone, the spotlight fell on their two rising stars: Cormac Buchanan of New Zealand and Ruche Moodley of South Africa. These young riders represent the future of Moto3, and watching them operate in the high-pressure cauldron of race day was a privilege. Buchanan, known for his fearlessness in wet conditions, and Moodley, a calm technician with an analytical approach, bring contrasting but complementary styles to the team. Their performances this season are steadily building momentum, and both riders are tipped for breakthrough campaigns in the near future.
Before the Moto3 race unfolded, we took in the Moto2 action from an ideal vantage point at Silverstone’s infamous final corner — a sweeping left-hander that demands precision braking and nerves of steel. The action was fierce and closely fought, offering a perfect prelude to what was to come. Then came the showpiece: the MotoGP race, viewed from the legendary Turn 1.
This year’s British Grand Prix delivered an electric MotoGP showdown. The race saw Marco Bezzecchi claim a sensational and emotional victory — his first of the season — demonstrating his ability to capitalise on a finely balanced Ducati package. Close on his heels were Jorge Martín and Francesco Bagnaia, both pushing to reclaim vital championship points. With each rider separated by mere seconds, it was a race that perfectly captured the drama and theatre that only MotoGP can provide.
Yet nothing could quite prepare us for what it meant to experience the Moto3 race from inside the DENSSI-sponsored BOE pit box. As the team made final preparations, the tension was palpable. Instructions were exchanged in hushed tones, data screens flickered with lap comparisons, and riders sat in silent contemplation. Then came the roar — that visceral scream of finely tuned 250cc engines bursting into life.
Watching from inside the heart of the action, every corner, every slipstream, and every millisecond carried amplified weight. The BOE crew operated with synchronised precision, adjusting strategy on the fly, responding to track dynamics, and offering continual feedback. To witness the pit wall in motion was to witness a symphony of science and instinct — and it reinforced just how much collective effort powers a single rider’s success.
Later, standing trackside, the experience became almost surreal. As the bikes streaked past at blistering speeds, you could feel the vibration through the ground. It was a true sensory overload — the smell of fuel, the snap of downshifts, the blur of riders dicing for every tenth of a second. Moto3 might be the junior class, but the bravery and intensity on display rivalled anything seen in the premier category.
DENSSI’s involvement in this world is not merely symbolic. As the nicotine pouch category grows in both visibility and credibility, DENSSI has emerged as a leader in promoting a cleaner, smoke-free future. Their choice to invest in motorsport — particularly in an authentic, development-focused team like BOE — speaks volumes about their values. It’s a brand that understands performance culture and supports the individuals driving it forward.
The MotoGP fanbase is global, youthful, and lifestyle-oriented — making it a natural match for DENSSI’s ethos. Their presence isn’t a superficial branding exercise; it’s deeply integrated, hands-on, and forward-looking. By backing a Moto3 team that reflects both grit and promise, DENSSI are demonstrating that alternative nicotine products can not only disrupt outdated traditions but help shape the future of sport and wellness.
As we left Silverstone with our ears still ringing and adrenaline still high, we reflected on a day that offered more than just spectacle. We were given access to a world powered by passion and precision, driven by people who live and breathe racing. We saw how teams like BOE Motorsport nurture talent, how brands like DENSSI bring new life to sporting sponsorship, and how MotoGP continues to captivate millions with its unique blend of danger, beauty, and speed.
To the BOE Racing Team — thank you for welcoming us into your world and showing us what real racing looks like behind the scenes. And to DENSSI — thank you for your vision, your hospitality, and your commitment to doing things differently.
Here’s to more high-speed Sundays, more innovation at the crossroads of sport and lifestyle, and more moments that remind us why we love racing in the first place.
