Below you can see the statements from Álex Debón:

After a life devoted entirely to motorcycling, I have made the decision to put an end to my career in this sport in order to dedicate more time to my family and especially to my son Alex Debón Júnior, who came into the world on September 9, 2011.

I thank all the sponsors, friends and members of the team for all the work, effort, dedication and affection they have given over these years to bring the name of CASTELLÓN DE LA PLANA together to the place it deserves.”

A big hug
Alex Debón

In this clear way, one of the heavyweights of the Motorcycle World Championship said goodbye. Thank you, Álex.
