12-year-old Indonesian fan Shainaꦫ Salvia returns to interview World Supersport 300 championship leader Ana Carrasco.

Carrasco has secured back-to-back race wins at Imo🧔la and Donington Park to lead the World Supersport 300 championship by 22 points after the opening four rounds.

The Spanish 21-year-old made history by becoming the first female rider to score world championship points in Moto3 back in 2013. After leaving Moto3 she made the switch to the newly-for♏med World Supersport 300 championship in 2017 to secure further history by becoming the first female to win a world championship race with victory at Portimao as she went on to finish eighth in the maiden season.

Carrasco currently leads the 2018 W🌠orld Supersport 300 series at the halfway stage after wins at Imola and Donington Park and is the first female rider to lead a world championship.

Shaina Salvia A. S.:

Congratulations on your recent ℱwins and leading the championship, I wondered as a woman is there any differences in exercise you do between woman and men?

Ana Carrasco:

I𒐪 try to forget about this because I think it is positive to think that I am a rider only, sometimes it is dဣifficult because it is hard to find people who believe a woman can win. But my vicotry last year in Portimao gave us the step to find a good team and a good bike which is important for this season. I feel more comfortable this year and the team is a lot better. The bike is also working really good so I think we now have the package to always be fighting for victories.

Shaina Salvia A. S.:

Before you were the first woman to scor💞e a point in Moto3 and now you are the first woman to lead a world championship, how do you feel about that and what is your target?

Ana Carrasco:

The target this season is to try to win the championship. I feel really good and really happy because now we are leading after the first victories. Now it is important to have the same line and same target as we have a lot of confidence and the team is feeling strong. The team is working perfectly so we have to try to continue like this at the next few races and try🐲 to be always be on top to finish the season on top.

Shaina Salvia A. S.:

Who inspired you as a racer and what did your mother say🔯 when you said you wanted to race?

Ana Carrasco:

My family has always been in the sport as my father is a mechanic and my mother understands about the sport. They always tell me and help me to be better every day and they give all that they can to come her൲e with me. It’s perfect to have my family👍 pushing with me.

Shaina Salvia A. S.:

What age did ꧒you start to ride, where and with which bike?

Ana Carrasco:

I started when I was🐈 three years old with the minibikes.

Shaina Salvia A. S.:

Wh❀at bike do you like the most: Moto3 or World Superꩲsport 300?

Ana Carrasco:

For the moment I prefer Supersport because I feel a lot better and I have a better bike. In Moto3 I rode for three years but th🌳e bike was not as competitive as I wanted so here I am quite happy. 𓃲We are always improving and I feel really good with my bike so I prefer to stay in Supersport.

Shaina Salvia A. S.:

Okay, thank you very much.

Ana Carrasco:

Thank you, you are very welcome.
