American Julian Correa Has A Wild-Card Entry In This Weekend’s ESBK SuperSport 300 Championship Event at Navarra, Spain. Afterwards, He’ll Return To British Talent Cup and MotoAmerica Talent Cup Competition.
Get ready for some thrilling news! Our very own Julian is about to embark on an incredible new adventure, heading to Spain to compete in the ESBK SuperSport 300 Championship!
The story kicked off after the recent ESBK race weekend at Aragon. Arnau Pons, the owner of Pons Motorsport Italika Racing Team, reached out to Dani Valle, Co-Owner of Riders Formation (a top development program in Tarragona, Spain). Arnau was looking for a rider to step in for Martim Garcia, who’s now focusing on the Portuguese Championship.
Dani Valle knew exactly who to recommend: Julian! It wasn’t just Julian’s raw talent that came to mind, but also the incredible opportunity this would provide for him to experience a new racing environment, expand his learning, and continue his progression.
With the full backing of his parents, the guidance of his mental coach Mike Torres, and the enthusiastic approval from Mortimer Racing (British Talent Cup) team owner Richard Mortimer, Julian jumped at the chance! He’s incredibly excited to learn and gain invaluable experience racing in Spain.
Now, this isn’t Julian’s first rodeo in a Spanish Championship. He’s previously competed in two JuniorGP European Talent Cup races. However, those experiences were on less-than-ideal machinery (British Talent Cup bikes) and without the dedicated support of a JuniorGP ETC team.This meant he didn’t quite get the full experience or the crucial lessons that come with racing against the world’s best.
But this time, it’s different! This amazing opportunity places Julian on the current team that’s leading the SS300 championship!Even better, he’ll be guided by his new teammate, Dani Ocete, who is also leading the championship! Talk about an incredible learning environment!
Julian is absolutely thrilled about this wild card entry, exclaiming, “This door was kicked wide open by Dani, and I am so grateful he picked me to step up. Although not racing a GP bike, it is still racing, and here in Spain is where the fastest in the world race. The expectation is to always be at the front battling for the win. This team has the potential to provide me a machine to do so, and I am confident we can make some magic this coming weekend!”
Don’t miss a second of the action! Be sure to watch the ESBK races live this weekend, July 19th and 20th, to see how Julian stacks up in this exciting championship!
