Rider bio

"There have always been bikes in my house, My grandfather and my dad have always had them, but only for a hobby. I watched races on TV at home with my dad and I liked them. My dad bought me a Pocket Bike to try and since then I have not stopped riding a motorcycle."

"My parents have always supported me and helped me in everything. In addition my dad has taught me to ride a motorcycle, fix my motorcycles, take me to train .... and my grandparents come to see me at all the races."

"I would like to become a professional rider. It's difficult, but I'll try."

"These next three photos are of the season 2013, in the circuit of Alcarràs. It was my debut in the category of 70cc.

"This is the starting grid, we were many riders in PromoRacc 70cc, with many of them I started at Pocket Bikes, then we were together in the MiniGP, and then we agreed on the CEV. And some of us have stayed to train together. They make great friends at the races."

"The picture above is of an overtaking in that same race, when you compete in the karting tracks there is a lot of body to body fighting. I learned a lot in that category."

"Above is my first podium in that category, I remember that I was very, very happy."

"My first training and SuperMoto races were with a Kawasaki Kx 65. With that bike I learned a lot, I had a great time jumping with her."

"While racing in 70cc I did a couple of races of the CEV in 80 cc with an RMU, one half of season and the last one in the circuit of Navarra, I got the 4th position on the grid and in race finished 4th."

"Every year during the month of December, the drivers participating in the Superprestige Dirt Track Barcelona race at Palau Sant Jordi will train the Canudas Ranch. I try to train so I can learn more from them."

"The next two photos are from my last race in 70 cc, at the Calafat circuit. First I'm waiting to go out on track."

"Then I'm in race, it was the last time that I ride my Metrakit 70 cc and I was mathematically champion of the category before running the race, but I wanted to say goodbye with a victory and I got it!"

"My best ever race was Jerez in 2015 in the CEV Moto4 category and the bike was an ETG Moto4. It was a very exciting race. After many overtakings, I won the race at the finish line."

"Of this race I have a nice memory, it's a circuit that I really like. I had seen it many times on TV but had never ride there. It was a very fun race, the bike was very good, there were many overtaking, and in the end I was able to get the victory on the same finish line. In the other photo I am on the podium with my racing mates with the typical trophy that is delivered in Jerez, a "catavinos"."

"My first SuperMoto race in the category of 85 cc was in the circuit of Menàrguens in 2015."

"It was a very fun race. I fell in one of the two races, I could get up and continue but still I could finish in the 2nd position."

"I mainly practice SuperMoto because it's a discipline that I love. But basically, just like with the Dirt Track, I use Supermotard races to train, as they usually match SuperMoto races with speed races and I can't make the SuperMoto championships complete."

"Another thing that has the SuperMotard that I like a lot are the jumps. Depending on the circuit there are more or less jumps, but I have to go carefully with them not to injure myself. It's also very fun the passage of the sand and mud to the asphalt noting how the wheels slide."

"I also like to practice Dirt Track, I use the Dirt Track races as a more training for speed races. With this discipline you get a lot of control of the slide and it is also fun to control the bike without the front brake. The photo bellow is of the Berga Championship."

"My best race of 2016 was at Montmeló on my PreMoto3, the Elias PreMoto3. After much effort, my team did very good work and got a very good set-up of the bike and we managed to ride with the fastest. Also as we were close to home my family and friends came to see me and that makes it still more special."

"In 2016 I also learned to manage the 'qualys' better to find my fast lap."

Xavi enjoys physical training at school and then riding a bicycle, BMX and MTB. His racing heros are Marc Márquez, Toni Elias, Jorge Prado and Ken Roczen.

When he gets on his road racer he is in his element. "What I like most are the strong braking corners. I like to do a good job with my team and give my best on the track. I am a lucky to do what I like and thank very much those who support me and believe in me."

2017 was his first season of Rookies Cup and he finished the year 16th overall with his best result being seventh in Race 1 at the Sachsenring. "It was a wet race and I got my best result, also Aragon was good for me there was a lot of overtaking."

"My expectations for 2018 are to put into practice everything I learnt last year, to improve myself, to be fighting in the front group and to stay as far ahead as possible and to enjoy riding."
