    "I have always been passionate about this world (motorcycling) and the opportunity came along and I didn't hesitate," Banderas said in an interview with Spanish broadcaster RTVE from his home in Los Angeles.

    Banderas would hire compatriot Joan Olive, currently competing in the 125cc category, plus one other rider and the team would be called either Banderas Racing Team or Antonio Banderas team, RTVE reported.
