Rossi Attila Moor delivers his strongest performance yet in the FIM MotoJunior Moto2 race at Jerez. 

The FIM MotoJunior Moto2 field continued the 2026 season at the Circuito de Jerez Ángel Nieto, where Rossi Attila Moor #92 wrapped up an extremely demanding weekend—both physically and technically—with another positive result.

One of the biggest challenges of the Jerez round was the intense heat: throughout the weekend, both air and track temperatures reached extreme levels, heavily affecting grip, tire management, and bike setup.

On Friday, Rossi finished FP1 in 9th place with a 1:42.373 lap time, then improved further in FP2, closing the session in 10th with a 1:42.340. The team dedicated the entire day to refining grip, frontend feeling, and setup adjustments to cope with the exceptionally hot track conditions.

Saturday brought another step forward. Rossi set a 1:41.324 in Practice, securing 8th place, and then achieved his best qualifying result of the season. In Q2 he posted a 1:41.445, finishing 10th and earning a start from the fourth row for Sunday’s race.

Rossi launched well and maintained a steady, fighting pace throughout the race. Early on, he faced additional technical difficulty when water temperature rose higher than expected, forcing him to occasionally move out of the slipstream to cool the bike. Despite this, he stayed competitive, kept strong pace, and managed to overtake Palomera in the final corner of the last lap.

Rossi finished the race in 7th place, scoring 9 more championship points. This brings his total to 33 points, placing him 7th in the overall standings.

Rossi Attila Moor #92:

“This was a very special and very tough weekend, mainly because of the extremely high air and track temperatures. I’m satisfied with the work we did, because we’re constantly improving, even if sometimes only in small steps.

In Jerez I achieved my best Q2 result of the season so far, finishing 10th, which allowed me to start from the fourth row. We still need to work on the time attack, because something is still missing there, and sometimes you also need a bit of luck.

I started the race well, but from lap 4 the water temperature rose a bit too high, which caused the bike to lose some performance, and I had to move out of the slipstream several times to cool it better. Even so, my race pace was good and I fought until the end. In the last corner of the final lap I managed to pass Palomera, which shows that I kept fighting all the way.

I’m also happy that we were able to take another small step forward in the championship, and I’m currently 7th overall.

I want to thank my whole team for their work: Alessandro, Roberto, Patrizio, Edgar, Franco, and Carlos for all their help and effort this weekend. I also want to thank those who always stand by me: my father, Stefano, Katalin, as well as Révész Racing and Bálint Révész for their trust and support.”

The Jerez weekend provided another important set of insights for Rossi and the team. The work continues: the goal remains to build a stronger, more stable, and more competitive package step by step in the FIM MotoJunior Moto2 category.

Kristian Daniel Jr. Earns Top 10 Finish During MotoJunior World Championship Substitute Ride at Jerez. 

American teenager Kristian Daniel Jr. continued to broaden his experience on the international stage after scoring finishes of 13th and 10th during a substitute appearance with the Snipers IGAX Team in the FIM MotoJunior World Championship at Circuito de Jerez-Ángel Nieto.

Stepping into the Moto3 machine on short notice, Daniel used the weekend to adapt to a new team, motorcycle, and race environment while continuing his development against one of the strongest junior fields in road racing.

Daniel finished 13th in Race One after struggling to find a comfortable feeling with the motorcycle while also reflecting on decisions made during the opening laps.

“I struggled at the start of both races with some of my decisions on positioning on the track,” Daniel said. “In Race 1, I struggled to find a comfortable feeling on track.”

The second race showed significant improvement despite an even more difficult opening lap. Daniel found himself more than seven seconds behind the lead group and running 21st after the early stages of the race.

Working with changes made between races, Daniel immediately felt more confident aboard the motorcycle and began an impressive recovery through the field. After first closing the gap on his own and then benefiting from the pace of another rider, he charged back to finish 10th, crossing the finish line just over three seconds behind the leading group.

“Race 2, despite having a worse start, with the changes we made, I had a lot more confidence,” Daniel explained. “I was too far to compete with the first group after the opening laps, but I recovered quite well and was able to finish just over three seconds from the front group.”

Although disappointed not to have been in contention with the lead pack after the difficult opening laps, Daniel viewed the weekend as another valuable step in his development.

“It was a tough way to end such a great and fun experience, but we’ll be back for more,” he said.

The substitute appearance with Snipers IGAX Team marked another opportunity for Daniel to gain valuable experience aboard a different Moto3 package while competing against the world’s top junior riders. He now turns his attention back to his Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup campaign, with the next round taking place in Germany.
