Ana Carrasco Back In Moto3
Cycle News Staff | February 1, 2022
Spaniard Ana Carrasco will leave the WorldSBK and return to the Grand Prix paddock in the Moto3 class for 2022.
The Spaniard, who became the first woman ever to win an FIM road racing world championship when she clinched the 2018 Supersport 300 title, raced in Moto3 from 2013 to 2015 and will race the coming season for the BOE Racing team.
“Racing is tough, not just on track where people see but also at times like this when you have to make tough decisions,” Carrasco said. “My ambition is always to grow as a rider, to set myself new goals that others see as impossible and to achieve them. When my parents bought me my first minibike and then I started racing, of course, my dream was like any rider, ‘one day I want to be a World Champion.’
“For sure, if one day if I have to leave this [WorldSBK] paddock, it will be difficult,” Carrasco said. “For me, the WorldSBK paddock is like my house. For many years, I was here. Also, for me, I think I’m the rider who I am because of WorldSBK.” CN
