The team heads into the 2021 season knowing they have a capable bike but big shoes to fill in the rider department. With the signing of highly experienced racer, Jake Lewis, Altus can pick up right where they left off.

Lewis will be joining the team for tests in Texas and California over the winter in preparation for the 2021 season.

New Energicas Now Available With CHAdeMO Charging Systems

Energica MY2021 Motorcycles now equipped with the CHAdeMO charging system

Modena, Italy – January 29th, 2021

Energica Motor Company, the leading international company in the sector of high-performance electric motorcycles and FIM Enel MotoE World Cup single manufacturer until 2022, is now taking yet another step to expand its commercial offerings, with the option of including the CHAdeMO charging system on Energica MY2021 motorcycles.

Energica is therefore the first manufacturer of electric motorcycles to adhere to both major international protocols on charging systems currently on global market: CCS and CHAdeMO.

“Since the inception of the Energica project, we embraced the combined charging system (CCS) as standard.” Says Giampiero Testoni, CTO Energica Motor Company S.p.A.

“We were true pioneers, the only electric motorcycle manufacturer to integrate DC fast charging technology into its products. We are delighted to have paved the way for other brands that have followed our path. Today we have also joined the second global standard, CHAdeMO.  In this way, we are not only responding to the needs of the Japanese market we’ve just entered, but to any customer around the world who prefers this recharging system “.

The pandemic year that has just ended has not at all hindered the R&D activities of the Energica technical team, which in just few months developed the CHAdeMO charging system specifically for the Energica MY2021 range.

“We have internally developed a new control unit to manage the dialogue between the vehicle and the CHAdeMO charging station. This system manages the exchange of information to initialize the charge, stop it, together with all the CHADEMO protocol needs.” Testoni continues.

“Our existing VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) has been adapted to be able to implement the dialogue with the newly developed control unit. This interaction is fundamental to guarantee the technical demands of this standard. ”

“Obviously we had to equip the motorcycle with the independent CHAdeMO fast charge socket to which we also added an additional socket for slow charging. Technical studies related to the design ensure we can always position the system under the seat of the vehicle, where the CCS Combo standard has already been present ”.  Charging times are identical as for the CCS Combo standard:

•           Fast Charge DCFC – Mode 4: 400 km / h or 6.7 km / min

•           Slow Charge Charge – Mode 2 or 3: 63.5 km / h

The Energica MY2021 motorcycles equipped with CHAdeMO have been tested internally by the Energica staff thanks to the presence of charging stations with a dedicated socket inside the Modena headquarters.

Further interoperability tests to verify dialogue with the CHAdeMO system will be carried out at the Joint Research Center at Ispra to ensure the compatibility of Energica motorcycles with all CHAdeMO charging columns in use globally.

MotoGP: Liqui Moly Sponsoring German Grand Prix Through 2023

Liqui Moly to title sponsor German Grand Prix until 2023

The exclusive lubricant supplier to the Moto2™ and Moto3™ classes will take top billing at the German Grand Prix from 2021 to 2023

Dorna Sports is delighted to announce a new agreement with Liqui Moly that will see the German lubricant giant take top billing at the German Grand Prix from 2021 to 2023. The event will therefore be named the Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland for the next three years.

Founded in Ulm in 1957, Liqui Moly has become a globally-recognised byword for quality in lubricants, with 4,000 products available worldwide – all researched, developed and manufactured in Germany. A long-term partner of MotoGP™, the company has been the exclusive lubricant supplier to the Moto2™ and Moto3™ classes since 2015, an agreement recently extended until 2023, and was the title sponsor of the Gran Premio de Teruel in 2020. The Liqui Moly name also features on now-iconic trackside advertising at the majority of the tracks on the MotoGP™ calendar; another contract recently extended for another three years.

This new agreement to title sponsor the next three German Grands Prix only serves to strengthen the partnership between Dorna and Liqui Moly, and includes private Liqui Moly hospitality on site at each Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland to make it a true blue-riband event.

Peter Baumann, Marketing Director, Liqui Moly: “After having been successfully present at MotoGP for nine years, we can now take our cooperation with Dorna to a new level. We are very pleased about the opportunity to be the official title sponsor of our home Grand Prix from this year on. The Liqui Moly Motorcycle Grand Prix of Germany will further strengthen our global brand presence.”

Pau Serracanta, Managing Director, Dorna Sports: “We’re very proud to announce this agreement with Liqui Moly and add to our ever-growing partnership. The Liqui Moly name is a well-established and respected part of the MotoGP paddock and it’s gives me great pleasure to see their commitment to the sport expand once again. Liqui Moly stands for quality, something perfectly showcased in their role as exclusive lubricant supplier to the Moto2 and Moto3 classes, and it’s great news to see the Liqui Moly name take top billing at their home Grand Prix over the next three years.”

Historic Racebike Illustrations: 1976 MV Agusta 350, In January Issue

Featured In the January 2021 issue of Roadracing World: 

        On July 4th, 1976, America was celebrating its bicentennial, and just a week and a day earlier a significant event had taken place in Europe. On June 27th at Assen, Holland, Giacomo Agostini won on a four cylinder MV Agusta, marking the last time a four-stroke won a 350cc Grand Prix!

        The writing had been on the wall with factory and dealer-backed Yamaha and Harley-Davidson (Aermacchi) two-strokes (See the February 2016 issue of Roadracing World, Historic Racebike Illustrations) dominating the 250cc and 350cc grids. Ironically, in 1974 when Agostini was lured away from MV to ride factory Yamahas, he won the 350cc World Championship on a factory 0W16 two-stroke. So why was Agostini campaigning a 350cc four-stroke MV in 1976?

—Historic Racebike Illustrations: 1976 MV Agusta 350, by Mick Ofield

 

            Giacomo Agostini’s 350 MV was a curious mix of cutting-edge technology and established MV design practices. Unreliable, the bike was fast when it stayed together, giving the legendary rider the chance to put one more footnote into the road racing history books. Look inside the history-making machine in the latest issue of Roadracing World!

S&S CYCLE TO SUPPORT ROYAL ENFIELD BUILD TRAIN RACE PROGRAMS

S&S Cycle will provide parts and support to BTR grassroots programs

Milwaukee, Wis – January 28, 2021 – Royal Enfield announced today its continued technical partnership with S&S Cycle into 2021, collaborating on projects including the BUILD TRAIN RACE (BTR) road racing and flat track programs.

Royal Enfield and S&S Cycle established a relationship in developing the FT411 and Royal Enfield’s American Flat Track program in recent years. S&S Cycle also manufactures multiple aftermarket parts and accessories for Royal Enfield motorcycles. This year, S&S Cycle will create parts to assist with the BTR road racing program, including exhausts, footpegs and triple clamps, and continued support of the BTR flat track program. S&S Cycle will also help to develop a Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 road racing package and consult on future racing opportunities in the Americas.

“S&S Cycle and Royal Enfield continue to grow our relationship through our racing programs,” said Breeann Poland, Marketing Lead for the Americas and Global Brand Manager for the Continental GT platform. “S&S Cycle is a renowned manufacturer in the performance aftermarket industry and its teams have supported our BTR flat track over the last year. Royal Enfield is excited to partner with S&S Cycle again for the road race iteration of the program, leveraging the brand’s capabilities to design, develop and manufacture some of the best performance parts in the industry.”

S&S Cycle is based in Viola, Wis, just a few hours drive from the Royal Enfield North America headquarters. Establishing itself as one of the premier V-Twin aftermarket parts manufacturers, S&S Cycle has expanded into other markets, including developing a wide range of performance parts for the Royal Enfield Twins model lineup.

“Royal Enfield is a great partner for S&S Cycle and allows us to reach a new audience of riders,” said Paul Langley, president of S&S Cycle. “The programs that Royal Enfield has developed have not only provided female motorcyclists the opportunity to get involved in racing but afforded us the chance to develop parts and accessories for the Royal Enfield Twins platform. Royal Enfield is one the global leaders in motorcycle production and getting access to the brand helps S&S Cycle as we look to expand our business.”

After the successful debut of the flat track BUILD TRAIN RACE program, Royal Enfield looks to road racing as the program continues to evolve. Seven female motorcyclists were recently announced to build, train and race with road racing prepared Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 motorcycles.

World Endurance: No Spectators At 24 Hours Of Le Mans

2021 24 HOURS MOTOS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

In view of the health crisis, and in order to maintain all the races on the 2021 FIM EWC calendar, the 44th edition of the 24 Hours Motos will be held behind closed doors on 17 and 18 April.

As with the 2020 edition, the 2021 24 Hours Motos scheduled for 17 and 18 April on the Bugatti circuit at Le Mans will be held without spectators in attendance.

Race organizer Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the FIM (International Motorcycling Federation) and FIM EWC promoter Eurosport Events have taken this difficult decision in order to ensure that all five races on the 2021 calendar are maintained, and to support the teams competing in the FIM Endurance World Championship.

Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest

“Regrettably, we shall have to organise the 24 Hours Motos behind closed doors for the second year running. Firstly, my thoughts go out to the fans of the race who will again miss out on the trackside experience. Despite the absence of spectators, the race will go ahead for the sake of the competitors and their sponsors. We sincerely hope that we shall be able to share these great moments in sport together again very soon.”

Jorge Viegas, President of the FIM (International Motorcycling Federation)

“Despite a second year without spectators, I am sure that the edition of the 24 Hours Motos 2021 will be breathtaking. I would like to thank the ACO, the FFM and Eurosport Events for their efforts to offer once again a fantastic show on TV and Digital platforms to the many viewers.”

Sébastien Poirier, President of the FFM (French Motorcycling Federation)

“It’s obviously heart-breaking to have to stage the 24 Hours Motos once again behind closed doors and deprive the many fans of an event that is a mecca for the biker community. For organisational reasons, the decision had to be taken now by the ACO and it is one that we share. I wish to pay tribute to the work done by the ACO, the promoter Eurosport Events, and the FIM to ensure that the race has not disappeared from the calendar altogether. Like many fans, we shall follow and share our passion for the race on the various TV and digital media outlets.”

François Ribeiro, Head of Eurosport Events

“It was painful to take the closed doors decision together with the ACO, but we took it quickly for the good of the championship and the teams. The ACO was the first circuit to organize a race behind closed doors in 2020 and, together with the ACO, we decided it was better to keep the April date for the 24 Hours Motos so as not to disrupt the rest of the calendar, which will also be held behind closed doors if the Covid-19 situation calls for it.”

New FIM MiniGP World Series Is First Step On “Road To MotoGP”

Introducing: the FIM MiniGP World Series 

The FIM launches a new MiniGP platform on the Road to MotoGP™, in partnership with Dorna Sports 

Thursday, 28 January 2021

The FIM and Dorna Sports are delighted to announce a new platform on the Road to MotoGP™: the FIM MiniGP World Series. Unifying and standardising MiniGP competitions from around the world under the same umbrella, the series aims to create an equal platform for young riders worldwide – and increase their skill and opportunity on the Road to MotoGP™.

The FIM MiniGP World Series will comprise MiniGP competitions organised by one or more FMNs or CONUs across the globe that sign up to be part of the new initiative, with each competition in the Series adhering to the same set of sporting and technical regulations in order to standardise competition. MiniGP Cups or competitions wishing to be included as part of the new Series – and thereby gain Road to MotoGP™ status – can be either national in nature or representing a larger geographical area at a regional or continental level.

Races must take place on karting circuits that meet minimum standards set by the FIM or national federation in question, who will also decide on the minimum circuit length. Riders must be between 10 and 14 years old, competing on equal Ohvale GP-0 160 machinery. The official single tyre supplier for all the FIM MiniGP World Series will be Pirelli, with a standard tyre allocation given per event.

A minimum of four events comprising a minimum of eight races must be included on the calendar, with a minimum number of 15 permanent riders in each competition. The first event must take place by July 2021, and the final event of the season should be held no later than the 17th of October. At the end of the season, the top competitors will be offered some incredible opportunities.

The champion of every national, regional, or continental MiniGP cup will be given the opportunity to participate in a World Final, which will take place during the week leading up to the final MotoGP™ event of the season. The winner of the World Final will, subject to age and location/nationality, will secure a spot in one of the Road To MotoGP™ programs on the next rung of their career ladder.

The top riders from each national, regional, or continental MiniGP cup will also have – depending on their age and location – either direct access to the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup selection or the availability of entry into the Honda British Talent Cup, Northern Talent Cup or European Talent Cup.

Jorge Viegas, FIM President: “The FIM MiniGP World Series is the first step for all the young kids on their path to achieve their dream and reach the FIM MotoGP World Championship! This is the starting point that was missing in the ‘Road to MotoGP’ that will allow every talented rider to step on the ‘podium’, with an extremely low budget. Also, this FIM/Dorna initiative puts the National Federations at the forefront of the system, because it is up to them to fully organise the national series and to hand-pick the best from each country, that will be present in the World Final in Valencia. Dorna and the FIM have been working on this project for a few years now; it is now becoming a reality and I would like to thank our Promoter and give an additional incentive to all our affiliated federations.”

Valerio da Lio, CEO of OHVALE: “It is a dream coming true! We are very proud to be part of the FIM MiniGP World Series project. This is an important step in the growth of motorcycling at international level. For many years Ohvale has been creating a solid basis for the growth of new talented riders at an international level and, thanks to the involvement of its sales network and national federations. Ohvale has spread a new philosophy for young motorcyclists: equal bikes for all and sealed engines, because it is the rider who makes the difference. We thank FIM and Dorna for choosing OHVALE for the new FIM MiniGP World Series.”

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports: “The Road to MotoGP is very important to us and I’m very proud to see another initiative added to our talent promotion portfolio, in partnership with the FIM. The FIM MiniGP World Series will play an important role in standardising competition for young riders around the world, helping their talent to shine on a level playing field and creating more opportunities than ever before. We are delighted to collaborate on this new project and see it become reality, and we can’t wait to see the talent that emerges from the Series in the future. The FIM MiniGP World Series is the perfect stepping-stone for young riders who are just beginning their Road to MotoGP and will not only help us discover MotoGP talent of the future, but also increase the breadth of the MotoGP fanbase and the number of young athletes who take up motorcycle racing.”

Energica MY2021 Motorcycles now equipped with the CHAdeMO charging system

Modena, Italy – January 29th, 2021

Energica Motor Company, the leading international company in the sector of high-performance electric motorcycles and FIM Enel MotoE World Cup single manufacturer until 2022, is now taking yet another step to expand its commercial offerings, with the option of including the CHAdeMO charging system on Energica MY2021 motorcycles.

Energica is therefore the first manufacturer of electric motorcycles to adhere to both major international protocols on charging systems currently on global market: CCS and CHAdeMO.

“Since the inception of the Energica project, we embraced the combined charging system (CCS) as standard.” Says Giampiero Testoni, CTO Energica Motor Company S.p.A.

“We were true pioneers, the only electric motorcycle manufacturer to integrate DC fast charging technology into its products. We are delighted to have paved the way for other brands that have followed our path. Today we have also joined the second global standard, CHAdeMO.  In this way, we are not only responding to the needs of the Japanese market we’ve just entered, but to any customer around the world who prefers this recharging system “.

The pandemic year that has just ended has not at all hindered the R&D activities of the Energica technical team, which in just few months developed the CHAdeMO charging system specifically for the Energica MY2021 range.

“We have internally developed a new control unit to manage the dialogue between the vehicle and the CHAdeMO charging station. This system manages the exchange of information to initialize the charge, stop it, together with all the CHADEMO protocol needs.” Testoni continues.

“Our existing VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) has been adapted to be able to implement the dialogue with the newly developed control unit. This interaction is fundamental to guarantee the technical demands of this standard. ”

“Obviously we had to equip the motorcycle with the independent CHAdeMO fast charge socket to which we also added an additional socket for slow charging. Technical studies related to the design ensure we can always position the system under the seat of the vehicle, where the CCS Combo standard has already been present ”.  Charging times are identical as for the CCS Combo standard:

•           Fast Charge DCFC – Mode 4: 400 km / h or 6.7 km / min

•           Slow Charge Charge – Mode 2 or 3: 63.5 km / h

The Energica MY2021 motorcycles equipped with CHAdeMO have been tested internally by the Energica staff thanks to the presence of charging stations with a dedicated socket inside the Modena headquarters.

Further interoperability tests to verify dialogue with the CHAdeMO system will be carried out at the Joint Research Center at Ispra to ensure the compatibility of Energica motorcycles with all CHAdeMO charging columns in use globally.

Liqui Moly to title sponsor German Grand Prix until 2023

The exclusive lubricant supplier to the Moto2™ and Moto3™ classes will take top billing at the German Grand Prix from 2021 to 2023

Dorna Sports is delighted to announce a new agreement with Liqui Moly that will see the German lubricant giant take top billing at the German Grand Prix from 2021 to 2023. The event will therefore be named the Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland for the next three years.

Founded in Ulm in 1957, Liqui Moly has become a globally-recognised byword for quality in lubricants, with 4,000 products available worldwide – all researched, developed and manufactured in Germany. A long-term partner of MotoGP™, the company has been the exclusive lubricant supplier to the Moto2™ and Moto3™ classes since 2015, an agreement recently extended until 2023, and was the title sponsor of the Gran Premio de Teruel in 2020. The Liqui Moly name also features on now-iconic trackside advertising at the majority of the tracks on the MotoGP™ calendar; another contract recently extended for another three years.

This new agreement to title sponsor the next three German Grands Prix only serves to strengthen the partnership between Dorna and Liqui Moly, and includes private Liqui Moly hospitality on site at each Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland to make it a true blue-riband event.

Peter Baumann, Marketing Director, Liqui Moly: “After having been successfully present at MotoGP for nine years, we can now take our cooperation with Dorna to a new level. We are very pleased about the opportunity to be the official title sponsor of our home Grand Prix from this year on. The Liqui Moly Motorcycle Grand Prix of Germany will further strengthen our global brand presence.”

Pau Serracanta, Managing Director, Dorna Sports: “We’re very proud to announce this agreement with Liqui Moly and add to our ever-growing partnership. The Liqui Moly name is a well-established and respected part of the MotoGP paddock and it’s gives me great pleasure to see their commitment to the sport expand once again. Liqui Moly stands for quality, something perfectly showcased in their role as exclusive lubricant supplier to the Moto2 and Moto3 classes, and it’s great news to see the Liqui Moly name take top billing at their home Grand Prix over the next three years.”

Historic Racebike Illustrations: 1976 MV Agusta 350, In January Issue

Featured In the January 2021 issue of Roadracing World: 

        On July 4th, 1976, America was celebrating its bicentennial, and just a week and a day earlier a significant event had taken place in Europe. On June 27th at Assen, Holland, Giacomo Agostini won on a four cylinder MV Agusta, marking the last time a four-stroke won a 350cc Grand Prix!

        The writing had been on the wall with factory and dealer-backed Yamaha and Harley-Davidson (Aermacchi) two-strokes (See the February 2016 issue of Roadracing World, Historic Racebike Illustrations) dominating the 250cc and 350cc grids. Ironically, in 1974 when Agostini was lured away from MV to ride factory Yamahas, he won the 350cc World Championship on a factory 0W16 two-stroke. So why was Agostini campaigning a 350cc four-stroke MV in 1976?

            Giacomo Agostini’s 350 MV was a curious mix of cutting-edge technology and established MV design practices. Unreliable, the bike was fast when it stayed together, giving the legendary rider the chance to put one more footnote into the road racing history books.

S&S CYCLE TO SUPPORT ROYAL ENFIELD BUILD TRAIN RACE PROGRAMS

S&S Cycle will provide parts and support to BTR grassroots programs

Milwaukee, Wis – January 28, 2021 – Royal Enfield announced today its continued technical partnership with S&S Cycle into 2021, collaborating on projects including the BUILD TRAIN RACE (BTR) road racing and flat track programs.

Royal Enfield and S&S Cycle established a relationship in developing the FT411 and Royal Enfield’s American Flat Track program in recent years. S&S Cycle also manufactures multiple aftermarket parts and accessories for Royal Enfield motorcycles. This year, S&S Cycle will create parts to assist with the BTR road racing program, including exhausts, footpegs and triple clamps, and continued support of the BTR flat track program. S&S Cycle will also help to develop a Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 road racing package and consult on future racing opportunities in the Americas.

“S&S Cycle and Royal Enfield continue to grow our relationship through our racing programs,” said Breeann Poland, Marketing Lead for the Americas and Global Brand Manager for the Continental GT platform. “S&S Cycle is a renowned manufacturer in the performance aftermarket industry and its teams have supported our BTR flat track over the last year. Royal Enfield is excited to partner with S&S Cycle again for the road race iteration of the program, leveraging the brand’s capabilities to design, develop and manufacture some of the best performance parts in the industry.”

S&S Cycle is based in Viola, Wis, just a few hours drive from the Royal Enfield North America headquarters. Establishing itself as one of the premier V-Twin aftermarket parts manufacturers, S&S Cycle has expanded into other markets, including developing a wide range of performance parts for the Royal Enfield Twins model lineup.

“Royal Enfield is a great partner for S&S Cycle and allows us to reach a new audience of riders,” said Paul Langley, president of S&S Cycle. “The programs that Royal Enfield has developed have not only provided female motorcyclists the opportunity to get involved in racing but afforded us the chance to develop parts and accessories for the Royal Enfield Twins platform. Royal Enfield is one the global leaders in motorcycle production and getting access to the brand helps S&S Cycle as we look to expand our business.”

After the successful debut of the flat track BUILD TRAIN RACE program, Royal Enfield looks to road racing as the program continues to evolve. Seven female motorcyclists were recently announced to build, train and race with road racing prepared Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 motorcycles.

2021 24 HOURS MOTOS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

In view of the health crisis, and in order to maintain all the races on the 2021 FIM EWC calendar, the 44th edition of the 24 Hours Motos will be held behind closed doors on 17 and 18 April.

As with the 2020 edition, the 2021 24 Hours Motos scheduled for 17 and 18 April on the Bugatti circuit at Le Mans will be held without spectators in attendance.

Race organizer Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the FIM (International Motorcycling Federation) and FIM EWC promoter Eurosport Events have taken this difficult decision in order to ensure that all five races on the 2021 calendar are maintained, and to support the teams competing in the FIM Endurance World Championship.

Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest

“Regrettably, we shall have to organise the 24 Hours Motos behind closed doors for the second year running. Firstly, my thoughts go out to the fans of the race who will again miss out on the trackside experience. Despite the absence of spectators, the race will go ahead for the sake of the competitors and their sponsors. We sincerely hope that we shall be able to share these great moments in sport together again very soon.”

Jorge Viegas, President of the FIM (International Motorcycling Federation)

“Despite a second year without spectators, I am sure that the edition of the 24 Hours Motos 2021 will be breathtaking. I would like to thank the ACO, the FFM and Eurosport Events for their efforts to offer once again a fantastic show on TV and Digital platforms to the many viewers.”

Sébastien Poirier, President of the FFM (French Motorcycling Federation)

“It’s obviously heart-breaking to have to stage the 24 Hours Motos once again behind closed doors and deprive the many fans of an event that is a mecca for the biker community. For organisational reasons, the decision had to be taken now by the ACO and it is one that we share. I wish to pay tribute to the work done by the ACO, the promoter Eurosport Events, and the FIM to ensure that the race has not disappeared from the calendar altogether. Like many fans, we shall follow and share our passion for the race on the various TV and digital media outlets.”

François Ribeiro, Head of Eurosport Events

“It was painful to take the closed doors decision together with the ACO, but we took it quickly for the good of the championship and the teams. The ACO was the first circuit to organize a race behind closed doors in 2020 and, together with the ACO, we decided it was better to keep the April date for the 24 Hours Motos so as not to disrupt the rest of the calendar, which will also be held behind closed doors if the Covid-19 situation calls for it.”

Introducing: the FIM MiniGP World Series 

The FIM launches a new MiniGP platform on the Road to MotoGP™, in partnership with Dorna Sports 

Thursday, 28 January 2021

The FIM and Dorna Sports are delighted to announce a new platform on the Road to MotoGP™: the FIM MiniGP World Series. Unifying and standardising MiniGP competitions from around the world under the same umbrella, the series aims to create an equal platform for young riders worldwide – and increase their skill and opportunity on the Road to MotoGP™.

The FIM MiniGP World Series will comprise MiniGP competitions organised by one or more FMNs or CONUs across the globe that sign up to be part of the new initiative, with each competition in the Series adhering to the same set of sporting and technical regulations in order to standardise competition. MiniGP Cups or competitions wishing to be included as part of the new Series – and thereby gain Road to MotoGP™ status – can be either national in nature or representing a larger geographical area at a regional or continental level.

Races must take place on karting circuits that meet minimum standards set by the FIM or national federation in question, who will also decide on the minimum circuit length. Riders must be between 10 and 14 years old, competing on equal Ohvale GP-0 160 machinery. The official single tyre supplier for all the FIM MiniGP World Series will be Pirelli, with a standard tyre allocation given per event.

A minimum of four events comprising a minimum of eight races must be included on the calendar, with a minimum number of 15 permanent riders in each competition. The first event must take place by July 2021, and the final event of the season should be held no later than the 17th of October. At the end of the season, the top competitors will be offered some incredible opportunities.

The champion of every national, regional, or continental MiniGP cup will be given the opportunity to participate in a World Final, which will take place during the week leading up to the final MotoGP™ event of the season. The winner of the World Final will, subject to age and location/nationality, will secure a spot in one of the Road To MotoGP™ programs on the next rung of their career ladder.

The top riders from each national, regional, or continental MiniGP cup will also have – depending on their age and location – either direct access to the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup selection or the availability of entry into the Honda British Talent Cup, Northern Talent Cup or European Talent Cup.

Jorge Viegas, FIM President: “The FIM MiniGP World Series is the first step for all the young kids on their path to achieve their dream and reach the FIM MotoGP World Championship! This is the starting point that was missing in the ‘Road to MotoGP’ that will allow every talented rider to step on the ‘podium’, with an extremely low budget. Also, this FIM/Dorna initiative puts the National Federations at the forefront of the system, because it is up to them to fully organise the national series and to hand-pick the best from each country, that will be present in the World Final in Valencia. Dorna and the FIM have been working on this project for a few years now; it is now becoming a reality and I would like to thank our Promoter and give an additional incentive to all our affiliated federations.”

Valerio da Lio, CEO of OHVALE: “It is a dream coming true! We are very proud to be part of the FIM MiniGP World Series project. This is an important step in the growth of motorcycling at international level. For many years Ohvale has been creating a solid basis for the growth of new talented riders at an international level and, thanks to the involvement of its sales network and national federations. Ohvale has spread a new philosophy for young motorcyclists: equal bikes for all and sealed engines, because it is the rider who makes the difference. We thank FIM and Dorna for choosing OHVALE for the new FIM MiniGP World Series.”

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports: “The Road to MotoGP is very important to us and I’m very proud to see another initiative added to our talent promotion portfolio, in partnership with the FIM. The FIM MiniGP World Series will play an important role in standardising competition for young riders around the world, helping their talent to shine on a level playing field and creating more opportunities than ever before. We are delighted to collaborate on this new project and see it become reality, and we can’t wait to see the talent that emerges from the Series in the future. The FIM MiniGP World Series is the perfect stepping-stone for young riders who are just beginning their Road to MotoGP and will not only help us discover MotoGP talent of the future, but also increase the breadth of the MotoGP fanbase and the number of young athletes who take up motorcycle racing.”
