The former Spanish WSSP300 world champion will ride the Ninja in Aragón. First test also for Manuel Gonzáles, 17 years old.
Ana Carrasco, 22, breaks down another barrier. A year ago, she was the first girl to win a world title when she won the Supersport 300, the entry category for the series' derivative racing motorcycles. On November 13, 2019, she will take another step, perhaps even more incredible: she will ride the Kawasaki Ninja of Jonathan Rea, five times world champion. The young woman who has already surpassed the (many...) male riders, will try the Superbike which has dominated the world championship for five years. The event will take place at Motorland Aragón, where the best Superbike teams will be involved in the first stage of preparation for the 2020 season.
Pink warrior
The young girl from Murcia (Spain) will participate in Supersport in 2020, still with Kawasaki, but seeing her, at least for once, on the “Cannibal” bike (88 victories, 5 world championships) will be a tremendous emotion. “Ana is very small, this is the only real problem she would face if she decided to ride a Superbike”, is the conviction of the 32-year-old Irishman. “ She has already amply demonstrated that she is a talented pilot; you don't win the World Championship by chance, in any category. I'll be at the side of the track, I just want to enjoy this moment. »
A first also for Manuel Gonzáles
Kawasaki will also introduce Superbike to Manuel Gonzáles, who this year won the Supersport 300 crown, becoming the youngest World Champion ever, at 17 years and 25 days old. The rising Madrid star, successor to Ana Carrasco, will be able to get an idea of the potential of the higher category: if he continues at this pace, he could soon arrive there to make a career. Remember that in the history of Superbike, there have already been cases of very early winners: in 1996, Takuma Aoki won the second race at Sugo in Japan, at the age of 18 years and 5 months.
