MotorLand Aragon will host the final round of the 2024 FIM Yamaha R3 bLU cRU World Cup where the title will come down to the wire between two Spanish stars. After five rounds of thrilling track action, the sixth and final round will see bLU cRU stalwart Marc Vich take on rookie Gonzalo Sanchez for the 2024 crown and a place on next year’s WorldSSP300 grid.
While 16-year-old Sanchez burst on the scene with four victories from the first six races, 17-year-old Vich’s experience has paid off with a consistent run of wins and podiums. Last time out at Magny-Cours, a Saturday DNF for Sanchez and a Sunday win for Vich turned the title on its head and left it all to play for at MotorLand with just nine points separating the pair in Vich’s favour.
Italy’s Alessandro Di Persio remains in mathematical contention at 44 points down, but a penalty in France cost the rookie dearly. However, his impressive pace and talent could see him mix it between the two rivals ahead of him.
MotorLand Aragon is a true home race for Sanchez who was born just 90 minutes away in Teruel, and the stunning Spanish circuit with its long straight will be ‘slipstream city’ for the R3 machines, providing the usual unpredictable racing.
