Elena Rosell, First Spanish Woman in World Championship
Elena Rosell, 25 years old, is the first Spanish woman to compete in the World Championship. She is replacing Julián Simón from the Aspar team who was injured. For the first time since the teams founding in 1992, a woman will compete on their behalf.
Translated from Spanish– ”It’s an opportunity that had been waiting since I started racing on a motorcycle. I appreciate the confidence that the Aspar Team has placed in me. I will debut in the World Moto2 one of the best teams,” said Elena Rosell Jorge Martinez.
(Thanks El Osario, for the submission!)
Mary McGee is a pioneer in American motorcycle racing, thanks to her untamable determination and a spirit as warm as her smile. Her excitement for motorcycling, especially racing, is contagious even in her eighties. She was the first woman to receive an FIM racing license in the United States, first woman to complete the Baja 1000, and the first woman to race the Baja 500 solo. These aren’t her only firsts, either. She was also the first woman in motocross and road racing in the States. McGee was rightly inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2018.
