MotoGP rider Jorge Lorenzo’s close friendship with Ricky Cardus is well known in Spain, but Lorenzo has announced via his Facebook page that he will personally and economically be sponsoring Cardus in the Spanish CEV Moto2 Championship.
Cardus was supposed to race in the World Moto2 Championship with Forward Racing (ex Hayate), but the deal fell through when the team preferred Jules Cluzel and first Valentin Debise then Claudio Corti leaving the talented Spanish rider with no place to go.
Now Jorge Lorenzo has come to the rescue of his friend and with his sponsorship Cardus has found a ride with the Laglisse team, which is considered one of the best in the CEV series and all four bikes will display Lorenzo’s personal ‘X Fuera’ logo.
Lorenzo also stated that after seeing the first Moto2 race in Qatar, he may consider forming his own personal team in the future.
