See you in Castellana 107!, the Torrot-GasGas flagship store

FOTO-TIENDA-TORROTWe have just opened the first TorrotGasGas flagship store in the neuralgic place of Madrid, Paseo de la Castellana 107 this week. They are 250 square meters where you can find corners with your favorite motorcycles and devices, from electric kids, MUVI, to Enduro and GasGas Trial , including the two-time Trial World Champion TXT-E.

For an event of such importance, we have had a high class sponsor. Our ambassador, Ricky Rubio, NBA player, in addition to wearing the Utah Jazz jersey when he is playing, he also wears the blue Torrot vest when he visits us, making us the honor of being the first visitor to the store. In his own words, Ricky told us “What Torrot has achieved in just three years for the development of sustainable mobility is impressive and I feel very connected with its commitment and its work for the reduction of polluting emissions and the creation of a model of a different city, cleaner, quieter and liveable.”

Artificial Intelligence at the MIT

FOTO-RAFA-MITFor a CEO or a company President, it is important to take a space for reflection in the midst of the daily work. I have always believed and I have applied it to myself, that to stay competitive in the first position you have to be in constant movement and search. Open and exploring what is next. This decision obliges you as a person and a professional to a recycling and constant learning process.

I am currently enrolled in an Executive in Artificial Intelligence at MIT. Already in 2013-14, together with Iván, I had my first executive experience of study, reflection and contrast of our strategic premises in the center of excellence of Massachusetts. That year and a half meant the crystallization of what today, four years later, is MUVING Ecosystem. In the case that concerns me this time, my mind is focused on everything that surrounds the application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the business world.

World Trial Champions again

FOTO-POST-IVAN-GG-TRIAL-julio-2018We have  become World Trial Champions at GasGas once again. All fans in any country, have known the brand as an absolute reference in the world of competition, a leadership kept thanks to the continuous work of technical improvements that later are transferred to our series bikes.

On this occasion, besides being year after year at the top of the world podiums with gasoline motorcycles, the renewal of this world title obtained last weekend has a special significance. The combination of Torrot and Gasgas made us pioneers in the introduction of electric bikes in the world of competition. In this way, last year our sports and development manager of Trial Marc Colomé (4 times world champion, 18 victories and 87 podiums), was the first electric Trial World Champion, taking our first electric model to the top in this sport. Last weekend, we made it again. In this case it has been Loris Gubian, supported by Colomer, who has achieved  this victory and against the giant Yamaha, in an exciting combat of human technique and  engineering.
