It was a great year for Yago Martinez as he had a break out year racing the EMX250 series. The Spaniard was a regular front runner in the class and impressed over the course of the season.
For the 2022 season, Martinez is on the move after spending a year with the VRT KTM team. Italian based team, Ghidinelli Racing have inked a deal with the young Spaniard. The team are making the switch from Yamaha to Fantic machinery for the season ahead with Martinez racing a two-stroke.
Martinez will hope for an even better season contesting the EMX250 series in 2022 as he has more experience under his belt.
“We signed with the Ghidinelli Racing team, because we consider it a good opportunity to have a good and competitive bike. We had some other offers ready to sign, but I was more attracted to Fantic for the changes as this brings new motivation. The goals for 2022 are clear, we will race in Italy – the Italian nationals and international Italian championship as well as the EMX250 series. The goal is fight for the EMX250 title”, Martinez told GateDrop.com.
“The 2-stroke bike looks so fun, I can’t wait to see what we can get with the 2 stroke, it’s a really different bike and we need to change some things on my riding to keep improving on this bike. A big thanks to Ghidinelli and Fantic for this opportunity, I’m super excited to start racing with them”, concluded Martinez.
