NAVARRO LOOKING FOR FIRST MOTO2 PODIUM AT ARAGON
Jorge Navarro’s improving trajectory continues aboard his Team Federal Oil Gresini Moto2Kalex machine #9 as the Moto2 World Championship heads to the last European round before the long journey across Asia – with the Spaniard focused on scoring a strong result in front of his home crowd.
The track could be the right one: Jorge was second and first at the line (Moto3) in the two-year period 2015-2016, while in his rookie Moto2 season last year he claimed sixth place despite starting from the seventh row of the grid. Judging by these numbers, all ingredients are there for Navarro to aim at what would be his maiden podium in the category.
With the crowd surely to play a part in giving him extra motivation to succeed, Jorge Navarro will also try to move up in the championship standings (he has collected so far a total of 49 points). Proceedings will begin on Friday at 10:55 local time (GMT +2).
JORGE NAVARRO #9
“MotorLand Aragon has always been one of my favourite tracks and I’ve always done well there. Many people will come to support me and I think this will be the ideal place where to make that longed-for step forward and finally get on the Moto2 podium. I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself, but I know this could be a very special weekend for me.”
