Carlos Tatay triumphs in Jerez

Last weekend, the Jerez round of the Junior GP Moto2 Championship took place, and Carlos Tatay proved to be in top form, delivering a flawless weekend for the ISB Sport ambassador team, the Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team.

Tatay had a strong performance in the qualifying session, securing the fastest time in the morning. The young Valencian rider claimed his first pole position, leading both qualifying sessions of the day.

Carlos Tatay started Saturday morning as one of the fastest riders, ahead of the current championship leader and the only rider to break the 1:41.862 barrier. Throughout the second session, the rider from the Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team once again demonstrated his experience from other championships, topping the time sheets.

On Sunday, the Valencian rider conquered Jerez, securing his first victory as a young and promising talent on the podium. Despite not having the best start, Tatay managed to stay in the podium positions and quickly regained the lead during the first lap. From that moment on, Tatay began to create a gap between himself and the main group of riders, riding solo for the majority of the race until the checkered flag. It was an impressive display of skill and perseverance, as he managed to pull away by up to four seconds from his closest competitors.

Carlos Tatay achieved his first victory in the European Moto2 Championship, climbing another step in the title fight and securing second place overall with a total of 61 points.

“This race was the one in which I felt the most calm compared to all the previous ones. I have a team that has helped me channel and manage all the nerves I have accumulated since the start of the Championship. We knew from the first time we hit the track this weekend that the sensations were very good. We didn’t leave anything in the box, and we worked together to achieve this victory. Without them, I couldn’t have done it. We had a perfect weekend.”
