López, who will take part in his second season in the Moto3 World Championship, and rookie García will represent the Monlau Repsol Technical School.
The start of the 2019 Moto3 World Championship, which takes place on March 10th in Qatar, is drawing ever closer, and this Monday the Monlau Repsol Technical School project for the season was presented in Madrid. Alonso López and Sergio García, previously teammates in the FIM CEV Repsol series, are reunited at Grand Prix level, with the support of Repsol and the Monlau school.
López was able to familiarise himself with the many unknown tracks in his rookie year last season, and took a best result of fourth at Jerez in 2018. García, meanwhile, debuts in the Moto3 series after placing runner-up in the Junior World Championship class of the FIM CEV Repsol last year, with four victories.
Alonso López and Sergio García are examples to follow for the young talents coming up through the school system, present at the event in Madrid. Some nine riders will compete across the Junior World Championship, European Talent Cup, and RFME Spanish Championship. These riders will be able to learn through the collaboration between Repsol and Monlau, two companies with a history of competition, teamwork and innovation training future riders, mechanics and engineers.
ALONSO LÓPEZ
“Being the spearhead of the Moto3 team is a pressure that I am very excited to have, and I hope I can transform this into a great year for us. Last season I gained a lot of experience that will help me in 2019. I was able to learn all the circuits and now we will go back to them with a base setup for the bike and our own telemetry, which helps a lot, because it is not the same as comparing your data with that of another rider; understand everything much better.”
SERGIO GARCÍA
“I am facing this year with great enthusiasm and as part of a team that I already know well. That’s very good because I am already familiar with all the people around me. This will be a year for me to enjoy myself, to learn a lot and to give my all in every race. The main objective is to learn, to get thoroughly acquainted with all the circuits and to be able to acquire a good base for the coming season. I’m looking forward to my first year in the World Championship.”
