By 2010 the domination of Spain showed its strength as the champion of the class 125 cc, 250 cc and MotoGP rider from State disabet by the Matador. Jorge Lorenzo in the MotoGP class, Toni Elias in the 250 cc class, and Marc Marquez on the 125 cc class.

Lorenzo believes there are three factors. “The thing that determines good or not its quality racer, in my opinion, there are three. First is the talent, the determination, and the last is hard work,” said Yamaha rider was launched from Visordown.
“Some drivers are more talented than others, then they were complete it with hard work. Meanwhile, another talented racer to complete it with more determinations.”
Meanwhile, Honda’s rider Dani Pedrosa also has an opinion about this. “I think the key is, basically is the Spanish have confidence in motor racing. Federation of Spanish, Catalan federation, they were particularly concerned with small children who may now only eight, nine, or ten years, and maybe ten years from now we will see them on the track racing, “he said.
There is also the former 500cc class rider, Simon Buckmaster assessed that development as well as the means to develop the potential of racing in Spain is pretty good.
