In the final round of the season, Hector Garzo became the second-ever MotoE World Champion.

Hector Garzo becomes the second rider to win the MotoE World Championship. In the opening race at the final round of the MotoE season, Garzo finished in fourth place, which was enough to claim his title.

The Spanish rider has been in MotoE since its inaugural season in 2019. However, his best Championship finish before this season was fourth place in 2019 and 2023.

The 26-year-old claimed his first-ever World Championship by winning four races and standing on the podium on five other occasions.

Coming into the last round of the season Garzo was in a title battle with Mattia Casadei, who ended up winning the race in Misano.

After the race, the new Champion said: “I still cannot believe it. It was a really hard day yesterday, so it was a really hard race to plan. I just trusted in myself and focussed on overtaking as many people as possible. I tried to not lose the gap to first place, but I also got a bit lucky. I feel sorry for Zannoni but I got lucky by getting the winning position.

“I think we deserve it because this year has been crazy and we have been at the top level. I think we deserve this and more. I have no words, thank you very much.”
