Gomez, Zaragoza Top FIM E-Xplorer
World Cup Round Two
F
or the second race in a row,
the MIE Racing team of San-
dra Gomez and Jorge Zaragoza
took the top step of the podium
in the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup.
While the first win was on a tradi-
tional motocross track in Spain,
this second win was on a man-
made track at the Crans Mon-
tana resort in the Swiss Alps.
The Spanish duo of Gomez
and Zaragoza, riding the EMX
XF30 created by Japan's Midori
Moriwaki, were the class of the
field for most of the action-
packed event but the final was a
close race with Norway's Vilde
Mari Holt and Canadian Spenser
Wilton of the Seven-EM Stewart
Racing who were delighted to
take the second-place podium
slot.
"It was very different from the
Round One in Catalunya," said
Jorge Zaragoza. "I am a moto

cross rider so it was challenging
for me here with the logs and
the obstacles, but Sandra, my
team mate, really helped me
with this format and we talked
a lot and combined our experi

ence to great effect. The whole
event has been amazing. It was
certainly one of the best races
I have ever won thanks to this
stunning location. It has been a
fantastic two days."
"In this championship, we
don't know the tracks until we
get here," said Sandra Gómez.
"I loved the lay out and it suited
me. But more than anything it
was amazing to be racing so
high up in the Swiss Alps with
Montblanc and the Matterhorn in
the background."
As for the second-place team
of James Stewart's Seven-EM
Stewart. "This is unbelievable
for me," said Vilde Mari Holt. "To
race for James Stewart is incred
