Pit Beirer – Motorsports Director:

“Jorge has been with us since his early days in motocross, starting with his incredible victory in the 65cc World Championship in 2011, when he became the youngest World Champion ever. We have watched him grow from a promising young rider into a four-time World Champion – securing his MX2 and MXGP titles under the guidance of Claudio and Davide de Carli – and his journey has been nothing short of remarkable. His relentless determination and natural talent have always been clear. We are immensely proud to have been part of his journey from his early years to his world-class achievements.”
