Rodrigo Marchal, the Asturian rider who made his debut in March at the controls of an Electric Motion , has achieved his first podium as a thirdclassified in the TR3 category with only 23 penalty points.
DEBUT OF AN ELECTRIC MOTION IN TR3
One of the most interesting points of the conversation with Rodrigo is to understand at what level an electric propulsion Electric Motion can be competing in the same category compared to combustion engines. Let’s remember that in the Trial World Championship, electric motorcycles race in their own category.
For Marchal, the debut has not been easy, since in his first week of adaptation he had a fall that has forced him to keep three weeks of absolute rest . A key time to adapt to the new frame and understand the response of the electric motor.
POSITIVE SENSATIONS AT THE CET DE ARTEIXO
The Spaniard received his new bike in the week prior to the CET in Arteixo. The debut could not have been more satisfying, as he added an important podium on the first day of competition “I know I can fight for the highest positions”. The general feeling is that, adding hours of adaptation, he looks confident enough to fight for the national title of the category.
"I was looking to have fun, I had fun on the new bike, although I know there is a lot of competition in the category."
The Electric Motion Spain rider values this start of the season very positively “I was looking to have fun, I had fun on the new bike, although I know that there is a lot of competitiveness in the category”.
After a three-week recovery after a broken radius head, Marchal decided at the last minute to participate in this first round of the Spanish Championship in Arteixo
: “I only had one day of training,”
he says.
The feeling he has with the electric bike is getting better and better, “every day I’m more adapted to the bike, it’s very stable and traction very well”.
The next steps for Rodrigo are to accumulate hours of training and seek advice from experts in the brand, such as Marc Colomer, to progressively raise his technical level and knowledge of the capabilities of the electric motorcycle.
