About Alex
Alex’s passion for motorcycles started at a young age.
Born in Ibiza, Alex has travelled much of Europe and spent time living in Barcelona, Paris, Nice and Corsica before settling into the UK 20 years ago.
It was during his time in Corsica where his passion for riding really took off and spent much of his time riding off-road as well as exploring much of Corisca’s beautiful scenery on two wheels.
In 2016, Alex decided to put his skills to the test and entered Thundersport 2016.
