HISTORY

Ángel's history in the world of motorcycling started very early. At just 4 years old, his bond with motorbikes became undeniable, thanks to the influence and enthusiasm of his father, Tino, who also raced motocross. Angel wanted to accompany his father and, once on the track, there was no turning back: he had to get on the bike and ride laps with his father.

That year, his parents decided to give him a minibike for Christmas. They started to go to a warehouse to teach him how to ride, but they were pleasantly surprised: it seemed that he had been doing it all his life. It was then when they realized that Ángel had to train at a riding school in Alicante.

Ángel's first steps into the racing world were in the interschool leagues, even before he was 6 years old. With his entry into the Cuna de Campeones, his rise began to take shape: he won victories, accolades, scholarships and titles to back up his talent and commitment to the sport.

 

The number 18 has been a symbol of his career, inspired by the figure of Nico Terol, whose coincidence in some training sessions left an indelible mark in his memory. However, this season he has not been able to keep the number 18, so he has added his number (18+18) and has kept its result: 36, a number that also reminds him of the great Joan Mir.

Ángel's story in the world of Moto3 is a tale of dreams come true thanks to the dedication and support of a family united by a common passion. And although the road may be full of challenges, his determination and love for two wheels will always be his driving force to reach new goals and keep improving on the track.
