16th June, 2026 – Joe Rascal Racing is thrilled to announce the signing of Spanish motorcycle racing superstar Jordi Torres, who joins our rider line up for the FIM Harley-Davison Bagger World Cup, commencing at Round 3 in Assen.
With Joe Rascal Racing currently leading the championship standings with Archie McDonald and Eric Granado in P1 & P2, the addition of Torres further solidifies our commitment to contending for the inaugural championship this season. Affectionately known across the paddock as "Spanish Elvis," Jordi brings a wealth of world-class experience, brilliant race craft, and a legendary positive attitude that perfectly complements our team culture and resonates strongly with the Harley-Davidson spirit.
Jordi arrives at Joe Rascal Racing with a highly decorated resume. Most notably, he is a back-to-back MotoE World Cup Champion, having claimed the prestigious titles in 2020 and 2021. Furthermore, Torres will now be the second rider on the FIM Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup grid boasting experience in the MotoGP class, alongside race-winning credentials in both Moto2 and WorldSBK.
Having competed at the very pinnacle of two-wheeled motorsport, his premier-class knowledge provides our garage with an unmatched level of technical feedback. When you combine that with his spectacular Grand Prix race winning history in Moto2 and extensive years fighting at the sharp end of the WorldSBK Championship, it is clear he is a massive asset to the team.
James Tonna, Co-Owner of Joe Rascal Racing:
"We are absolutely stoked to welcome Jordi to the Joe Rascal family. Currently sitting 1-2 in the championship, bringing a rider of Jordi's calibre into the fold adds another layer of strength to our garage. To have a two-time MotoE World Champion who has also competed at the highest level in both MotoGP and WorldSBK join our ranks is a huge advantage.”
Jordi Torres, Rider at Joe Rascal Racing:
“It is an honour to compete in the FIM Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup with the Joe Rascal Racing team, a highly professional organisation that consistently demonstrates its leadership in this category.
I’m very excited to be racing on a Harley-Davidson Bagger, from what I’ve seen, they look agile, powerful and incredibly fun to ride. Watching the first races, they looked spectacular, and I’m eager to find out for myself.
Thanks to the team, I get to ride alongside Granado and McDonald, two highly experienced riders I can learn a great deal from. I hope to adapt quickly, and I know the team will make it much easier for me to master the spectacular riding style of Harley-Davidson Baggers.”
