Biography
Laia Sanz has been riding a motorcycle for more than twenty years and her extensive track record attests to this. He began to come into contact with two wheels when he was only four years old in the surroundings of his home, in Corbera de Llobregat (Barcelona). At that moment he decided to pour all his energy into a sport with an almost absolute presence of men, although at the age of twelve he already achieved his first victory, which quickly caught the attention of fans and connoisseurs of this sport.
In 1992 he competed for the first time and in 1997 he stood on the top step of a podium for the first time. From that moment on, Laia’s progression has been constant, as evidenced by her eleven women’s Trial world titles, seven consecutive between 2000 and 2006, and those achieved in the last four years (2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011). He made his debut in the Repsol Montesa-HRC team in the 2004 season and since then, Laia has achieved everything there is to win in the women’s category. Today, his goals are already set on achieving good classifications in the senior categories, thanks to the support he receives at all times from his teammates Toni Bou and Takahisa Fujinami.
Ambitious and adventurous, the pilot has been a young woman since she was a child
Repsol had dreamed of going beyond the world of trials and into the tracks and deserts that make up one of the toughest races in the world: the Dakar. After a year of intense preparation with an expert like Jordi Arcarons, in 2011 Laia set out to make her dream come true and discover first-hand the magic of the mythical race that every beginning of the year covers ten thousand kilometres of tracks and deserts, drawing a mythical race.
His performance in the South American event was simply superb. In her first experience in the toughest race in the world, Laia arrived in Buenos Aires with hardly any mistakes, in one piece and with the victory in the women’s category. Undoubtedly, a completely admirable result for this woman who has no limits.
Continuous effort, hard work and an increasingly refined technique allow him to face each year with the maximum ambitions of continuing to achieve all his sporting goals. She is always ready to continue breaking records in the women’s category and put the male competitors in more than one bind. Entre carrer
In the little free time she has left between competitions, Laia enjoys the company of her family, music and sport in general.
