Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 face final round of the 2015 season

Valencia will be the final destination for the Moto3 World Championship; a last round of the 2015 season that the Estrella Galicia 0,0 riders arrive at very motivated. For Navarro, the Valencian Grand Prix is a true ‘home race’, and teammate Quartararo returns from injury for the season finale.

Jorge Navarro and Fabio Quartararo are prepared for the last Grand Prix of the season,which takes place this weekend at the Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo. The venue is a very special track for Team Estrella Galicia 0,0, as last year Álex Márquez was crowned Moto3 World Champion there for the team after a thrilling race –in which he finished on the podium.
 

Arriving at the end of this season, just nine days ago, Navarro was on the rostrum once again at the Malaysian GP, claiming third place at Sepang after challenging for the win. The Spaniard had been strong right from the opening Free Practice, and was able to run a good strategy in the race. He will attempt to get onto the top step of the podium this weekend, in order to delight his home crowd and end the season on a high note.
 

Across the garage, Fabio Quartararo will rejoin Navarro for this Grand Prix, after recovering from an injury to his right foot. The young Frenchman, currently tenth in the overall standings, has worked intensively to arrive at Valencia in the best condition possible for the season closer.
 

Another local rider, Aaron Canet [Junior Team Estrella Galicia 0,0], suffered a crash during last Friday's free practice session for the FIM CEV at the Jerez circuit, and will now not participate as planned as a wild card in the Valencian GP. Canet will instead focus on the final two Spanish Championship races, which take place just one week after the World Championship’s visit to Valencia at the same track. The young protégé of Emilio Alzamora was treated by Dr. Jimeno at the Hospital Universitario Quiron Dexeus, and will not undergo surgery –instead undertaking intensive physiotherapy.
