Spanish Championship

These are the results of the 2007 Spanish championship in it's 3 categories. Though Supersport and SBK aren't as strong other National championships like BSB or AMA the 125cc is surely the most important national championship in the world, guys like Stoner, Pedrosa, Lorenzo etc have competed there.




Very talented kids here, many world championship riders. Gotta keep an eye on the top guys like Bradl, Redding or Tutusaus future MotoGP material.



Brit rider Gowland won this one which was thriller. Very brave guys.



Some names here might be familiar to you, De Gea the champion (4th championship) has raced a few times in 500cc/MotoGP on Kenny Robert's bike. The veteran champion will be in WorldSS next season.

Cardoso .... he's been around 500cc/MotoGP for some time, more precisely around the BACK of the grid lol.

Kenny Noyes is the son of respected US journo Dennis Noyes.

Bradl, Vasquez and Masbou are already racing in 250's, right? And Redding I seem to remember being involved in the Red Bull Rookies?


Bradl and Masbou have done races in 125cc (not sure if full season or just occasional wild cards), Vazquez is a weird case he did the 2nd part of the world 250cc championship while ridinging a 125cc in the SPanish championship.

@ Teo:

Is this Redding kid showing any potential from what you've seen/heard?

Only thing I've heard is he learns tracks very quick, which should put him in good stead.


Yeah, Redding was impressive, he won the last 3 races consecutively. I think he could be a pain in Talmacsi's back soon hehe. If I had to bet my money on who'll be the next Brit world champion I'd say Redding ahead of Toseland and co.!
Next year he'll do both the Spanish and World 125cc in the same team, Blusens Aprilia.


About Gowland (Supersport champ) you gotta have in mind that category is the weakest of the 3 so the guy could be really good or just average on a WSS field.

The calendar of the Spanish championship is made in a way that it complements the world championship, so there aren't races in both at the same time, plus they avoid that rule about not testing in a GP track 1 month before the race (or something similar).

So calendar looks quite weird, there's almost no races in summer and it ends in December (or almost) but it's OK, weather is fine.

How did Bradl beat Redding? Bradl won 50% fewer races.

How did Gowland beat Gomez? Gowland didn't even when a race.

How did Gea beat Morales? Morales won more races.

The Spanish national series is stupid. The person who wins the most races doesn't win the championship


Exactly the same way Hayden beat Rossi in 2006. By being more consistent.
