Born in Spain and aged 22, the son of Randy Mamola will unfortunately not race this season, as he could not find enough money to get a top level machine in Moto2, nor in the Spanish National CEV Championship, nor in the World Championship. He accepted an offer to work as a personal assistant for Cal Crutchlow.
Dakota Mamola, son of four-time 500cc World Champion Randy Mamola, raced with HB Racing/Meen Yamaha on a YZF-R3 in the Superstock 6 class of the MotoAmerica Championship in 600. Despite not knowing any of the circuits before the start of the season and suffering a broken ankle early in the year, Mamola recorded one victory and four podiums and finished fourth in the final Championship standings.
« I'm not the type of person who tends to write or post things like this, but I felt like it now, wrote Dakota. “ First of all, I would like to announce that today is the start of a new season for me, different from last year, but similar to 2015. Unfortunately, I will not be able to race due to some factors, but I'm more than happy to announce that I'll be working for my friend Cal Crutchlow again. He has a great team behind him and I know we will fight for the top positions. »
