Calatayud, from revelation to ambition

He recorded a ninth place as his best result that year. Last year, still under the same colors, he secured his first podium at Assen (Race 1) and achieved glory at Magny-Cours (Race 1), despite difficult conditions. In 2025, he continues with the same team with the goal of fighting for the crown. The Spaniard will be supported by a promising young teammate, Gonzalo Sanchez, who is also rider SHARK.
