In 2020, the 5th this season in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, Lorenzo Fellon, will join the Junior Moto3 World Championship on a Honda in Emilio Alzamora's team, Estrella Galicia. A great opportunity for the tricolor which follows in the footsteps of a certain Fabio Quartararo...
Lorenzo Fellon is the son of Laurent Fellon, former manager of John Zarco. The 15-year-old young man leaves the rookies cup riding the KTM, where he finished ranked 5th this season. In 2020 he will join the CEV Repsol Junior World Championship in the Estrella Galicia junior team led by Emilio Alzamora who thus spotted the tricolor.
« Lorenzo Fellon has decided to focus on a championship in 2020 », said Peter Clifford, director of Rider Development and Media within the Rookies Cup. “ We invited him again to participate in our championship in 2020. But his choice fell on the CEV Junior World Championship. The most important thing for us is that the drivers progress. If it succeeds, we will be happy for him. »
If father and son fellon have chosen to sign a contract with the Monlau Racing School and the Honda Estrella Galicia 0.0 junior team, this is no coincidence. His compatriot fabio quartararo followed the same path and we see what it looks like today with the success that is his. The pilot Yamaha Petronas worked with the same team in 2013 and 2014 and won the title in the CEV Moto3 championship.
The father of Lorenzo Fellon, Laurent Fellon managed Johann zarco until May 2018. “ I consider Johann Zarco as a brother”, said Lorenzo Fellon. " I spent a lot of time with him when I was a child” he confides. A Johann zarco who also won the Rookies Cup in 2007. Lorenzo Fellon which also bears the French number, 5, a beautiful tribute to the Cannes resident who, visibly, inspired this young, long-toothed wolf.
