The FlexBox HP 40 completes its team and it will be Héctor Garzó who joins Lorenzo Baldassarri for the 2020 campaign.
After the test days at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, which it was the first time for Garzó with the Kalex, the sensations from the beginning were very good both for the rider and for the team. Garzó completed two test days successfully, showing a quick adaptation to both the motorcycle and the team and ended up being one of the fastest in the overall of the test. These results impressed the team for their speed and adaptability. A successful test that has served to confirm the expectations that already had of the rider.

"I'm glad to announce the agreement with Héctor Garzó for the next two seasons. I must say that the test he made with the team in Valencia was impressed for all the team members. His adaptation to the bike was very fast and also his speed, finishing the test being one of the fastest riders. I am sure of the potential that Héctor has, I know him years ago when he competed in the European Championship, and this test has confirmed that he has a bright future. I am glad to have it in our project and I'm sure we're going to help him grow up to be one of the best riders in the Moto2 category as we have done before with so many other rider. Héctor, in my name and the FlexBox HP 40 team, we warmly welcome you!".
