They are both teammates in the CEV Moto2, and were both chosen to replace injured riders in the Moto2 World Cup from Jerez. Find out who Héctor Garzó and Lukas Tulovic are.
Héctor Garzo
Héctor Garzó was born on June 9, 1998 in Paterna, Valencia region, Spain. Although he always wanted to ride a motorcycle, he had to wait until he was eight years old to get his first mini motorcycle. From there, his passion for two wheels continued to grow, and he began racing two years later, in 2008. For six years he participated in numerous mini motorcycle and Minimotard 65 and 85 championships, in which he won prizes. securities.
In 2014 he was crowned champion of the PreMoto3 Spanish Speed Cup, which allowed him to join the Spanish Speed Championship (CEV) in 2015, which became the Junior World Championship in 2016, the year of his coronation.
Following this title, he continued his momentum in 2017: he won the Spanish Stock 600 Speed Championship, the Sub 21 Championship and finished fourth in his first year in CEV Moto2. He is also participating in his first World Cup race with the Tech 3 Racing team as a replacement for the injured Xavi Virginie. He then achieved an incredible performance by qualifying fifth. Unfortunately, he cannot confirm in the race following a fall.
He continued with the same team in 2018, and was in eighth place in the championship when he was contacted again by the Tech 3 team for a replacement, this time for Remy Gardner. The two Grands Prix are more complicated than the one in which he participated, but the Spanish driver is learning, and will continue to do so since he will once again replace Remy Gardner at Mugello.
Lukas Tulovic
His CEV teammate, the German Lukas Tulovic, was also called into the World Cup to replace Dominique Aergerter within the Kiefer Racing team.
Born June 15, 2000, Tulovic started riding at the age of five and immediately took up pocket biking. Second in the European Championship at ten years old, he moved to Mini bike in 2011 and won the title of European champion. Two years later, he participated in the ADAC Junior Cup, a racing series organized by the German Automobile Association, which promotes young drivers. He finished second in his second year.
Due to his fairly large size, he decided not to attempt Moto3, and instead followed the Moto2 route. With this in mind, he participated in the Yamaha R6 Cup in 2015 and arrived in the European Speed Championship (CEV) Moto2 in 2016. His first year was complicated, and he often finished around twentieth place. In 2017, on the other hand, he progressed within the Forward Junior Racing team and obtained a fourth place as his best result, facing drivers currently in the World Cup like Steven Odendaal and Eric Granado.
He changes teams this year and joins the Wimu CNS team alongside Héctor Garzo. After only two races, he was chosen by the Kiefer Racing team to replace Dominique Aegerter at Jerez and Le Mans. He qualified 24th and 26th, ahead of nine and ten drivers including starters. It's a little more complicated in the race, but he doesn't fall and accumulates experience which will serve him in CEV, with a view to an upcoming arrival in the World Cup, his objective.
