good hello everyone will ask what
I do here today I came to tell a
history of disobedience and humility
or especially a story in which the
dreams are fulfilled when we are all
connected
I started in this sport when I was 3
years because my family has always been
related to the world of the motorcycle my
father is a mechanic and was working on
the competition with other pilots before
that I was born the first motorcycle that
I came home was for my older brother
a little later another one arrived for me there was
a time in which we both train
together but good she then decided that
It was not his thing so I had to follow
I alone was always very competitive
both in sports and in life and
good although it seems difficult to you
four years I convinced my parents that
they will let me do my first race
from that moment on everything was like
like a wheel my parents took me to
train every weekend and me
I loved riding on a motorcycle that was what
that I liked doing the most and also had
a lot of colleagues with whom
play so it was the perfect plan to
from there, I was growing up passing through
a lot of categories a lot of
championship and good I came across the
condition that motorcycling always
It has been a sport mostly
male so good was the only one or
of the few women who practiced it
moss still I was always a very driver
fast very competitive and fight
practically for winning all the
championships in which to compete
the biggest change of my career
sporting occurred at 14 years until
so I just practiced this
sport because I had fun starting
that moment they gave me the opportunity to
make the jump to the championship of spain
this championship the championship with more
level before the world cup so I got there
there I stopped going to compete with my
family to become part of a
professional team had a lot of
people working for me and I did not know very
well what to do with all that was very
young and I had to adapt to very many
things many good changes that I
they would have to help me train and for
someday become a professional
I was during two seasons
there in that time I became the
first woman in history to score
in the category and shortly after they gave me
the opportunity to make the leap to
3rd world moto championship and good
my first race was in qatar it was the
first time he left Spain to
compete and for me to get there was already a
success had gotten one of the
dreams of my life become a pilot
professional and be on a grill
motogp
so up there all right
during that season exceed all
expectations both mine and those of
the people that I had around I became
in the first Spanish woman of the
history in scoring in the championship in
the best position of a woman in
starting grid with a seventh
position in australia and the best
result in race with an octave
position in valencia so up there
all perfect in an amazing year and
everyone happy from there there was
got everything that there was always
wanted to have but at the end of the
season and despite the fact that the last
race gets the best result of
my life I found the true ones
problems
he did not have sponsors so that
it meant that I did not have equipment I did not have
a lot to continue the next year and
that the dream is over there
I was always a bit stubborn so
far from giving up and even though I had
16 years and much to learn
my only obsession was finding a
team find a motorcycle and follow
working to achieve my dream I had
to call a lot of doors to talk
with a lot of people and having to
face facing a lot of nov
but in the end I got it
the 2014 season I went back to the
world championship another year more but
the decline of my load began a little
sports the lack of means made me
be on a team and a little bike
competitive so good was a year of
a lot of learning to mature a lot because
I realized that as much as
you work and you do not have the means ever
are you going to get your goal so
the frustration with which that
year was a lot had to endure
a lot of pressure and good in the absence of
four races the team told me
that he could not finish the season by
lack of budget so I went to
home
the following year and thanks to the
results that told me about the
previous season I found again
another team was again pilot of the
world championship but good in spite
that from what I worked a lot had
I had a lot of hope very much I wanted
I have tried hard to get to the hundred
percent at the start of the season another
once I met a friend a motorbike
little competitive
this image is a bit ugly but the
I wanted to teach because I think the image
I want to and I can not
despite the fact that I had tried
a lot in having a little competitive motorbike
forced me to have to surpass the
limit many times having to risk
more than the account and well I had several
injuries during the season before
start a fracture of the clavicle and
practically three or four months
after I had this fall was in the
German race and well I have
lowered alone in my family was at home
and well the doctors detected that I had
a fracture in the humerus so I flew to
barcelona I arrived with the hope that
the injury was as small as possible and
be able to return soon to compete but there
I met a doctor who told me
that the injury was quite serious that
had to go through the operating room and that
we would need six months of
Recovery
six months does not seem like that much but six
months meant that my season was
I had finished there
so I operated I went back home and started
work I spent the entire days in
rehabilitation with the sole objective of
be able to return before the end of
season
a month and a half I called the mail and said
look I’m going to compete I think I’m
prepared that so I’m going to take a
I fly to england and I will try
so that I did volem I got in the
land and from that moment I made
the eight remaining races of the
season and I had to suffer a lot
pain a lot of discomfort but
At least I was able to fulfill my goal
it was to climb back on top of the
motorcycle and look for having a good
opportunity if the lack of means to him
we add that in my physical conditions
they were not the most appropriate because it is
clear that the results either
they came out so at the end of the season
I had to abandon the championship of
world
that was the hardest moment of my life
the biggest stick I ‘ve carried because
I had been working all my life to be
pilot and moment to moment everything that
had built that collapsed me
I was out of the championship I was left without
equipment without motorcycle without sponsors and without
possibilities to continue fighting
for getting my dream
but I have been lucky that my
family has always supported me a lot
from the beginning of finding myself
throughout my career to many people
who has already believed in me and helped me
come out of moments as hard as
like that to overcome
to that situation even though it was
so young that he could not understand
and well I was throughout the year giving
a bit of tumbling trying to compete in
different places to stay active
and wait for an opportunity to come and
that’s what I did at the end of 2016
I started receiving calls and opened a
new a new path a new
opportunity this time in the championship
from the world of superbike and good I started
be part of a mechanic school
there the lack of experience was what
most we had but I think the illusion
wins and the union we work for
all together gave us the opportunity to
win and get the victory in the
portugal’s career was the first
woman of history to win a
career in the world championship already
from that moment on, it was a little
before and after my career
sporty
I think many people realized
that what I said about a woman is
I will win in a world of men was
possible and so from this
moment I started to count on a lot
more support
I found the right people in the
just moment that gave me the opportunity
to keep growing from continuing to count
with a better material for the year
next I started to have support
from the kawasaki factory and thus face
I started working to face the
2018 season this year
It has been the best year of my career
sports despite everything we have
had to go through this year I lived a
dream season
this is my team this year we have
we worked very hard we have tried
row all in the same direction as
I think that is the most important thing for
reach a good port
from the beginning we were very competitive
I started to lead the championship in the
third race I had two victories
followed in italy england and despite
that good times have been very
difficult throughout the season
we arrived at the last race with
options to win the championship
the last race was in france makes
practically very little and good was very
stressful that we arrive
practically until the last bend without
to know if we had won
when passing by goal in fact I did not even know
I had got it
and soon after I found out
the talk I wanted to end with
this image this woman is my mother but
I think it represents very well the one that
union makes strength ‘
we have worked all our lives to
get this dream and I think together
with my team the sponsors the
factories all the people that in some
moment of my life has helped me to be able to
go building this road that despite
that at some point we saw that
it was the end we tried to look
alternative ways to get to
get my dream
this photo from the day I proclaimed myself
World Champion
I was the first woman in history
in winning a world championship of
speed and I think it represents all
the values that you have to fight
I’m not going to entertain much more I think
that there are many people who want to talk
but I want everything I said
end in my story and I ‘m not going to
remember a long time I want you to
you have three things the first is that
it is very important to know with what means
we count and how far we can go
with them
the second thing you have to trust in the
our trying to surround ourselves with people who
help us to be better every day ever
I use the same phrase if you walk alone
It will go very fast but also
accompanied will go further so I
I have managed to be champion because there
many people who are here today I am
giving me the face but the dream is of
all and I think the goal and the
to have achieved it is thanks to all the
good people who put their bit
sand in on this road and the third and
the most important is that there is no
throw in the towel in the key of my life and
of my sports career even though
I am 21 years old, it has only been the no
throw in the towel keep working
even if I saw that things were going
making it very difficult that practically
I have seen that my dream ended in
many times but I think there are
that believe in yourself believing that everything is
possible
the last advice is that with work the
dreams are fulfilled so I hope that
all of you can also fulfill the
your many thanks
