On the 4th of July, Axel Pons graduated from the International Degree in Management of Business and Technology at La Salle Campus Barcelona. Axel combined his University studies with his participation in the Moto2 World Championship for the past four years. "It has been hard, evidenced by the fact that almost no one dares to take on elite motorcycling and studies at the same time, but in the end the graduation reward is paying more than all the efforts. I'd like to thank La Salle and all its teaching staff  that have made it possible for me to keep up with my studies despite continuous trips all over the world to participate in the Moto2 races", said Axel." From La Salle, we also want to recognize his commitment and tenacity to achieve this academic degree which is taught entirely in English.  The young pilot has been an example of commitment and collaboration with his classmates. Axel is not the only elite athlete studying this degree. It is also the case of Laura Konitzer, a German athlete who lives in Barcelona where she is training to try to compete with the German sailing team in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games This 19 year old  sportswoman  combines sport with her university education at La Salle.
