The Aragonese company Patatas Gómez has reaffirmed its commitment to the development of local talent by closing a strategic agreement with the five-time MotoGP world champion, Jorge Lorenzo. The main objective of this alliance is to support the career of Víctor “Chico Maravilla” Cubeles, the promising 15-year-old rider from Zuera who leads the JL99 Performance training program.
An alliance with international projection
The signing of the agreement was realized following an institutional visit by Jorge Lorenzo and Víctor Cubeles to the Patatas Gómez facilities in Mercazaragoza. The company’s representatives have emphasized that this sponsorship is not only a bet on sports but also an investment in the values of excellence and discipline that Cubeles represents under Lorenzo’s guidance.
For Jorge Lorenzo, the support of a leading brand in Aragon is key to providing the project with the necessary solidity:
“For a rider to reach the top, they need a professional structure behind them. Having the support of Patatas Gómez allows us to give Víctor the necessary tools to translate his precision and talent into international results.”
Roadmap for 2026: From regional to the European podium
Thanks to this support, the «Chico Maravilla» is facing a 2026 season with ambitious and well-defined goals, shared during his recent training sessions at MotorLand Aragón and Zuera:
-
Fight for the Top 10 in Europe: In the European Talent Cup (ETC), the goal is to consistently position among the top ten, aspiring to reach the Top 5.
-
Technical development in Italy: Cubeles will participate in the CIV Moto3, the leading Italian championship, to gain experience on world-class tracks with an official Moto3.
-
Continuous training: The program includes technical advice from Chicho Lorenzo, ensuring top-level technical and mental preparation.
Commitment to the region
The day to formalize the agreement also included a meeting at the emblematic Restaurante El Cachirulo, highlighting the Aragonese roots of this collaboration that unites a historic company from Zaragoza with the most promising rider in the community.
With this union, Patatas Gómez becomes the main driving force behind a dream born in Zuera but, under the strategic guidance of Jorge Lorenzo, aims directly for the podium of the most demanding championships in the world.
