GOMEZ EXTENDS
HUSQVARNA COMMITMENT
C
laiming second in the 2019 WESS Enduro
World Championship, the Alfredo Gomez
will target the world championship title
next year secure in the knowledge his place in
the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing
Team is secure until 2021. “Alfredo is a perfect fit
for Husqvarna Motorcycles, we’re thrilled to have
him with us until at least 2021”, said Husqvarna
Motorcycles Motorsport Manager Diego Clément.
“Technically gifted, he gives 100 per cent every
time he races and is always challenging for the
victory. Professional, committed and well-received
under the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory
Racing awning, he is a pleasure to work with.
We’re looking forward to continuing this long-
standing relationship and have every confidence
he can put Husqvarna Motorcycles onto the top
step of the podium.” A key member of Rockstar
Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing, Gómez was a
regular front-runner in all eight rounds of the 2019
WESS championship, with the TE 300i mounted
rider consistently battling for race wins and
podium results. “I’m really happy to continue with
Husqvarna Motorcycles for another two years, he
said. “We’ve grown together a lot during the last
few years and I have a really strong and enjoyable
relationship with everyone in the team – in a way it
has become like an extended part of my family. I’m
really proud of what we achieved during 2019 by
finishing second overall in the WESS Enduro World
Championship and always fighting for the victory.
Gomez clearly has a lot of respect for the tight-knit
Husqvarna team as a whole, and he fully intends
to repay the team for their support with victory.
“When I seriously injured my leg, they stood by
me. There was never any pressure to return to
the bike early, they just wanted me to get better.
I feel like that was when our bond became even
tighter than it already was. I’m looking forward to
what lies ahead during these next two years and
in particular 2020. We’ve shown ourselves as title
contenders with the TE 300i and for certain, our
goal is to become world champions together.”
