After an incredible season of consistency, Jordi Torres lifted the crown at Le Mans. Not having ridden the venue for a few years since his days in Moto2™, it may have seemed that the Spaniard would be arriving on the back foot compared to some – but that was far from true. In a dramatic Race 1 he steered clear of the drama that befell his other contenders for the Cup to stay cool and collected, taking to the top step for the first time in MotoE™ , and that sent him into Race 2 in prime position: pole and 18 points ahead.
Riding to make sure he took the Cup and that the sole focus of the day, the Spaniard’s sixth was actually one of his worse results of the season – but it was designed to get the job done, and that it did. Torres ends the year on top with the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup in his name, adding to an impressive array of other trophies including a Grand Prix win in Moto2™, a WorldSBK win and European Moto2™ successes.
Congratulations, Jordi!
