Today we want to share a piece of news that marks the end of an exceptional stage and the beginning of a new adventure: Mireia Badia, current Enduro World Champion with RIEJU, has decided to retire from professional competition.
With an impeccable career, Mireia has not only left her mark in the history of Enduro, but has also been an example of passion, perseverance and self-improvement. Her crowning as world champion is just one of the many milestones that have made her a reference for the sport and an inspiration for future generations.
Although Mireia is leaving the competition tracks, we are pleased to announce that she will continue to be linked to RIEJU, contributing with her experience and knowledge in new projects that will continue to promote our brand and the world of Enduro.
From RIEJU we want to express our deepest gratitude for all that Mireia has contributed as a rider and brand ambassador. Now a new chapter begins, and we are sure that Mireia will continue to leave her stamp with the same passion and commitment that have always defined her.
Statement by Miquel Garcia, Team Manager of RIEJU Factory Racing:
“Mireia has been a fundamental pillar for our team and an example both on and off the track. Although we stopped seeing her compete, we are delighted that she will continue with us to contribute her vision and experience. Personally I will continue to have her by my side helping the team in the races so it is the end of one stage and the beginning of another. I am very happy to have been able to enjoy Mireia Badia as an athlete and as a person during these years.”
Statements by Mireia Badia:
“Making the decision to retire has not been easy, but I feel it is the right time to close this chapter. Racing Enduro has been my passion and my life, and I am deeply grateful to RIEJU for having accompanied me in this as a rider and a person. Although I am leaving racing, my commitment to the sport and to RIEJU remains intact. I am excited about this new stage, in which I will be able to contribute my experience from another angle and continue to be linked to this world that I love so much. Thanks to my team and to me who have always supported me. This is not goodbye, it's a new beginning.”
