Fantic is thrilled to announce that Sandra Gomez has joined the team and will represent the Italian brand as a factory rider at the 2024 Rallye du Maroc and the 2025 Dakar.
A World Champion in Trial and SuperEnduro, a multiple XGames medalist, the first woman to complete the Red Bull Romaniacs Gold class and the leading female racer in the Hard Enduro World Championship, Sandra Gomez boasts an impressive track record that extends beyond her achievements in the motorsport world. She was also called to participate in the famous Netflix series “Money Heist” as the stunt double for Tokyo, one of the main protagonists of this global success.
Joining the Fantic Factory Rally Team, the 31-year-old Spaniard is now ready to take on the next challenge in the desert. She will debut on the Fantic XEF 450 Rally at the 2024 Rallye du Maroc, scheduled from October 4th to 11th, before preparing for her third participation in the legendary Dakar, which will take place in Saudi Arabia from January 3rd to 17th, 2025.
It is worth noting that in 2024, Fantic completed the world’s most famous rally with three bikes reaching the finish line, winning the women’s category thanks to the stunning performance of Jane Daniels, who also received the “Dakar Spirit” award and remains closely linked to Fantic as a Brand Ambassador.
Sandra Gomez:
“I am so excited to become part of this big family, and it is also great that Fantic continues to believe in and support the women’s category. They have achieved fantastic results with Jane, which is an extra motivation for me to keep up that good work. I have already had a chance to test the Fantic for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised – the bike feels really easy to ride. Of course, it is new to me and I will need to adapt, but my first impression was very positive. I like it and I can’t wait to ride it in the desert to see what we can achieve. I am looking forward to getting back into action at the rallies. Racing in Morocco is definitely the best way to prepare for the biggest rally of them all, the Dakar. I want to thank Fantic for this amazing opportunity. I will give it my all!”
Mariano Roman, Fantic Motor Vice President:
“It is a great pleasure for us to welcome Sandra Gomez to our family. We share a huge passion for motorcycling, and just like Fantic, Sandra excels in multiple disciplines. We are eager to work with her and are confident that she is the right rider to aim for the same remarkable feat that our Jane achieved earlier this year.”
Matilde Tomagnini, Fantic Motor Business Development Manager:
“I am very happy to have Sandra on our team for the Rallye du Maroc and the Dakar. I have already had the chance to see her in action on our bike, and the first impression was really positive. She is fast and there is an amazing feeling, so I am confident that together we will reach great results. Building on the success we have achieved with Jane, we aim to confirm our position at the top of the women’s category.”
