Elena Rosell will race in the Moto2 World Championship
Elena Rosell will be the first woman to compete in a full championship. We hope and know she will do it very well, so don't miss her next Moto2 season with the QMMF.
Today the news broke that Elena Rosell will be part of the Qatari Motorcycling Federation (QMMF) team in next season’s Moto2 World Championship. A real bombshell for motorcycling, sport, history and even politics. The QMMF, which this year featured Ricky Cardús and Sultan Al Naimi, will, contrary to what one might think at first, take over the Arab rider’s seat, with Elena sitting there.
The choice of rider Elena is very surprising, not for any personal reason, but because of what the Marca website comments: no woman from the Emirate has ever taken part in the Olympic Games.
On the other hand, we are very happy with her decision, and we think it is a step forward for the Qatari federation in the eyes of the world in general. Betting so strongly on Elena in the intermediate class, and it will surely bear fruit.
We recall that she will be the first woman to complete the championship, and, to the pride of our homeland, she is from our land.
On the other hand, we also note that this year she made three appearances, at Assen, Motorland Aragón and Valencia. At the first, the difficult track conditions and the weekend in general, combined with her unfamiliarity with the circuit, kept her out of the race. She didn’t fare much better at Motorland Aragón either, although she managed to finish the event in last place, so she enjoyed a complete race and improved her sensations. In Valencia, however, she managed to finish in twenty-fifth position, ahead of regular riders in the world championship, so little by little she is improving.

A mi me parece muy raro que un equipo Qatarí no tengan un piloto del país y encima que su sustituto sea una mujer, no van con las costumbres de Qatar vamos.
Por otro lado me alegro que Elena tenga esta oportunidad, es bueno para el mundial.
Sinceramente pienso igual que tu, que raro parece que sea precisamente éste equipo el que la haya elegido pero bueno ya sabes como va el mundo y al igual que tu de nuevo, también me alegro mucho de que esté en el mundial.
