Ibizan Álex Palau is awarded double runner-up of Europe in powerboating

As the only Spanish representative in this international competition, the Ibizan pilot Álex Palau is leaving a benchmark in Powerboating Europe’s Championship.

He currently competes in two categories: Runabout GP4 and Runabout GP2, and has shown exceptional talent in his first year in the GP2 category, in which he began competing last year on a national level.

The European championship has four races: Poland, Portugal, Hungary and France, this last scheduled for the first days of September in Vichy.

Last weekend, in Györ, Hungary, Alex disputed a great championship. After qualifying in pole and completing the tree races of each category, he achieved an impressive doublet, reaching second place in both categories and crowning himself as runner-up of Europe in Hungary.

But the most highlighted thing is that, thanks to his excellent performance in this race, Álex has climbed up to the first position in the general classification of the European championship, in the absence of just one test in Vichy. Even though his rivals will not put it easy, the Ibizan pilot prepares himself with all his energy and determination to keep that position and fight for being Europe’s champion in both categories.

Álex Palau wants to thank, in addition to his Pacutos Tea and the Spanish Federation, his official sponsors: Ibiza Travel, O Beach Ibiza, Palladium Group and Vibra Hoteles, for trusting him and making this sporting dream come true.
