Elena Rosell, First Spanish Woman in World Championship
Elena Rosell, 25 years old, is the first Spanish woman to compete in the World Championship. She is replacing Julián Simón from the Aspar team who was injured. For the first time since the teams founding in 1992, a woman will compete on their behalf.
Translated from Spanish– ”It’s an opportunity that had been waiting since I started racing on a motorcycle. I appreciate the confidence that the Aspar Team has placed in me. I will debut in the World Moto2 one of the best teams,” said Elena Rosell Jorge Martinez.
