Sandra Gómez
“I am very happy. Winning in this first round was amazing. Jorge [Zaragoza] and I joined the championship at the last minute, but we competed very well together. My teammate helped me to go faster with some motocross advice, and I gave my best today. We adapted really well to the bike, and we were able to achieve a great result for MIE Racing”.
Jorge Zaragoza
“When the team asked me to compete with them in the FIM E-Xplorer, I had no doubt as I believe this is the future. The team did a great job, and the bikes are very competitive. I felt comfortable from the beginning, and I adapted quickly to the bike and the track, as it was similar to motocross. I’m so happy for this historic first win in the championship”.
