 Figueras and Gas Gas renews their union for next season

The Girona's rider keeps linked to the brand for the Enduro 3 EWC and the Spanish Championship.

The Gas Gas Enduro Team and Jordi Figueras have decided this december to extend their contractual compromise for 2012. With this agreement, next season will be the fourth year working side by side in both national and international competition.

Born in 1982 in La Bisbal d'Empordà (Girona), Jordi will perform again in the Enduro 3 category in which he already took part in 2009 and 2011, this time with the new EC 300. Among its goals is to fight for the Spanish and World Championship, aswell as taking part in some of the most classic races of the Spanish and European calendar.

After his 18 year old debut in the motocross, his late contact with the motocycle world hasn’t been an obstacle to be among the best riders of this speciality. It was short before five years from now that he decided to make a leap to the Enduro and in 2009 he joined the Gas Gas riders.

After some unfortunate injuries that kept him away from competition during his first season dressing in red, his progression during 2010 and 2011 has turned him into a basic figure within the team’s structure aswell as in its most long-standing member together with the two time Women’s World Champion Ludivine Puy.

The Gas Gas General Manager, Ramon Puente, and its Competition Manager, Santi Navarro, joined Figueras in the signing of the new contract in the make’s headquarters in Salt.
