Three titles decided on day of breathtaking drama. Five brilliant races were served up in Valencia, with three new Champions crowned.

The curtain came down on the FIM JuniorGP World Championship in Valencia, with three title-deciding races and two brilliant JuniorGP races unfolding on the Mediterranean coast. Marco Morelli (Gryd – MLav Racing) did the double in JuniorGP, while Milan Pawelec (AGR Team) won the Moto2 European Championship title after incredible last lap drama. In the European Talent Cup, Fernando Bujosa (AC Racing Team) won the title, and Iker Garcia (GV Tamoil Racing) claimed Stock European Championship glory.

JUNIOR GP:

Brian Uriarte and Marco Morelli battle for glory in a breathtaking JuniorGP™ Race 2

Marco Morelli celebrated the double in Valencia, with the young Argentinian star wrapping up the silver medal position in the Championship as a result. The #97 dominated Race 1, leading from lights out to the flag, while Brian Uriarte (UAX SeventyTwo Artbox Team) fended off a spirited challenge from Jesus Rios (Finetwork Mir Racing Team) for P2.

Race 2 saw those three involved at the front again, though this time Uriarte went with Morelli all the way and didn’t let him escape. The pace then proved too hot to handle for Rios, with the #54 crashing out, leaving Joel Esteban (CFMoto Junior Aspar Team) to swoop in for the final podium place in both the race and the Championship.

Morelli owns the day in Valencia, but it’s Uriarte who departs as Champion!

MOTO2 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP:

Milan Pawelec claims a dramatic victory in extremis and with it the Moto2™ ECh title.

In a simply stunning finale, the Moto2 European Championship was decided in the most dramatic of circumstances. Unai Orradre (Team Ciatti – Boscoscuro) came into the day with a 10 point advantage, and despite not being at his best, looked set to clinch the title as the last lap begun. However, a crash from race leader and teammate Alberto Ferrandez (Team Ciatti – Boscoscuro) at Turn 1 handed Milan Pawelec the lead in the race, and the Championship! The pole made no mistakes on the last lap and took the chequered flag first to seal the title in sensational fashion. Xabi Zurutuza (Andifer American Racing) and Xavi Artigas (MMR) put in stellar riders to take the podium places, as Orradre came home in fifth.

EUROPEAN TALENT CUP:

Fernando Bujosa loses the lead at the last corner but comes away from Circuit Ricardo Tormo as Champion

In the European Talent Cup finale, Carlos Cano (UAX SeventyTwo Artbox) arrived with an 11 point cushion over polesitter Fernando Bujosa. Out front, a breakaway trio quickly emerged: Bujosa, Alex Longarela (Snipers IGAX Team), and Alvaro Lucas (CFMoto Aspar Junior Team), while Cano focused on securing the top-six finish with the podium out of sight.

With the title on the line, Bujosa had no option but to win – and he led into the final corner – only for Longarela to dive underneath and edge ahead for the win, with Lucas also snatching second at the line. Third place looked like it wouldn’t be enough for the Spaniard, however, drama came after the chequered flag. Unfortunately for Cano, he later received a technical disqualification, meaning Bujosa was crowned 2025 European Talent Cup Champion!

STOCK EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP:

Iker Garcia claims the Stock™ ECh crown with a little help from his teammate

The final race of the day was also a title decider, with just one point separating Tibor Erik Varga (IUM Motorsports S.L.) and Iker Garcia. Garcia started from pole, and his launch was matched only by his teammate, Alberto Garcia (GV Tamoil Racing), while Varga immediately slipped backward. The Hungarian’s struggles continued as he lacked the pace to challenge the leaders, and his title hopes faded.

Teamwork made the dream work for Garcia: Alberto allowed his namesake and title contender Iker through, and from there the pair controlled the race comfortably. Nobody could challenge the duo, and Iker Garcia was ultimately crowned Champion in Valencia. Marco Tapia (FACE Racing) mounted a late charge to secure the final podium position.

That’s a wrap then on the 2025 FIM JuniorGP World Championship. A phenomenal final day of action has us already looking forward to 2026, when a new era of the Championship will launch! We’ll see you then!

More from a press release issued by Revesz Racing:

Rossi Attila Moor closes the season in Valencia and vows: “in 2026 I’ll be the rider I know I am”.

Valencia – The final round of the season was one of the toughest yet for Rossi Attila Moor, the Hungarian-American rider, but also one that leaves real hope for the future. At the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia, the young talent had to ride the whole weekend far from ideal physical condition, due to an injury that limited him both in practice and in the race. Even so, Rossi chose not to give up, to grit his teeth, and to bring home the best possible result.

In qualifying, despite significant physical difficulties, Rossi Attila Moor secured 22nd place on the grid, just 1.3 seconds off pole position in an extremely competitive Moto2 field, where more than 20 riders are often covered by one second. That alone shows how high the level of the championship is and how little room there is for error.

On Sunday, in the race, the Hungarian-American rider once again showed his character. When the lights went out, he produced a blistering start, and by turn 2 he was already up to 16th place, right in the mix of the main group after a very aggressive opening lap. He managed to stay with the group up to around lap 8, fighting with determination; then, as the pain flared up again, his pace inevitably dropped off. Even so, Rossi dug deep and made it to the checkered flag in 17th position, finishing a race that many riders, in his physical condition, probably wouldn’t even have started.

Rossi Attila Moor ends the season 20th in the overall standings, with a total of 23 points scored over the year. Those numbers don’t fully reflect his real potential, but they tell the story of a difficult season built on resilience, sacrifice, and growth.

“It was a very tough weekend physically, but I didn’t want to end the season sitting in the garage,” said Rossi Attila Moor. “I tried to give everything I had, even if the pain didn’t allow me to ride the way I wanted. But I know that if we fix a few things and work well over the winter, next year I’ll finally be able to show the real level I belong to.”

Rossi wishes to thank Bálint Révész and Révész Racing in particular “for all the help and trust they have given me over these years.”

“I feel I owe something to Balint Revesz and to the whole Révész Racing organization,” the Hungarian-American rider added. “I want to ‘pay back’ that trust with a surprising performance next season. I’m sure we can build something really important together.”

A special thank-you also goes to Team Cardoso, with whom Rossi contested the final three races of the season:

“I want to thank Team Cardoso, because over these last races they really showed they are a true top team. I sincerely hope we can continue together next year and, all working in the same direction, make that step forward we all know we’re capable of.”

Rossi does not forget the people closest to him:

“I want to thank my father and my brother, who help me throughout the whole year with my training, and my manager Stefano Favaro together with Geri Katalin for the huge amount of work they put into supporting my racing career. Without them, none of this would be possible.”

Finally, a message for the fans, who have stayed by his side even in the hardest moments:

“I want to thank all my fans for their endless support. I promise you that next year things will be different: we’ll work harder than ever, and I’m convinced that together we’ll be able to enjoy some really great results.”

After a season ended under physically difficult conditions but with a clear understanding of the work ahead, Rossi Attila Moor is already looking toward 2026 with one certainty: the talent is there, and so is the willingness to suffer for it. Now it’s all about building the right technical environment around him to turn that potential into results.

Oxley Bom MotoGP Podcast: Everybody Wants A Calm (Rear End)

“What did we see the teams testing in Spain last week? First of all: lots of aero. There’s no getting around it, but there’s definitely different ways of implementing it. And let’s just say that not every type is equally enjoyable for any particular rider.

But it’s not all just hot (and cold!) air. We’ve got mass dampeners, rigorous rider training regimens, Ducati’s naming schemes and much, much more. So open a drink, turn up the volume, and remember: sometimes the only difference between a calm ass and a calamitous chatterbox is a mere 5 millimeter … “

New Jersey Motorsports Park Expanding Thunderbolt Circuit

New Jersey Motorsports Park Expanding Thunderbolt Circuit

New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP) announced that it is continuing its infrastructure investment with the addition of a new course configuration ahead of the 2026 season. The new section is named “The Devil’s Pass”, and it offers a layout that will be a fast, flowing variation of the Thunderbolt Classic circuit.

The Devil’s Pass VS. Thunderbolt Classic

The Devil’s Pass retains the traditional Thunderbolt circuit through Turn 7, which exits onto a flat-out sweeping bend to the right.

Whereas the Thunderbolt Classic circuit then slows and turns hard right for the tight technical Turn 9 and 10 section of the course called The Devil, The Devil’s Pass variation will continue to accelerate onto an additional straightaway followed by a 90 degree left, which will rejoin the original circuit halfway through the existing Esses.

“This offers the challenging flow of setting up through the sweeping right and subsequent straightaway for a new braking zone and passing opportunity – and a critical turn to execute perfectly for maximum speed down the front straight,” explained Brad Scott, President and Chief Operating Officer of NJMP.

Professional racer Alex Sedgwick agreed. “This will be an interesting new addition, opening up a new passing opportunity for race events and increasing the average speed of the lap, demanding something different from car and driver when compared to what is usually a relatively slow speed, low commitment area of the track.” Sedgwick finished 2nd in the 2024 Porsche Carrera Cup North America championship in the top Pro division driving for PT Autosport with JDX Racing and hosts coaching sessions for NJMP’s Drivers Club members.

Devil’s Pass will integrate with the classic circuit as shown below.

NJMP Managing Director and experienced racer RJ Valentine added: “As racers ourselves, one of the issues Lee (Brahin, fellow Managing Director) and I strongly believe in at any track is flow, and with the creation of this configuration we are certain that we’ll be achieving an interesting new flow and new passing zones. Our goal is to attract additional top-level professional series to NJMP.”

Beginning with the 2026 motorsport season, both the Thunderbolt Classic and Devil’s Pass circuits will be available for NJMP’s drivers, riders, clubs, partners, and professional series. And both retain the option of the Turn 3 chicane, resulting in four unique and enticing layouts for NJMP members and customers.

“This is Phase 2 of our multi-year investment in Thunderbolt,” said Scott. “The Phase 1 repave and renovation received great reviews during the 2024 season, including dozens of new track records set across various racing classes. The Phase 2 construction of a new course configuration is something we are really excited about.”

Created with the help of a team of NJMP members and partners, the Devil’s Pass final design is being led by Bryce Engelhart, Lead Designer at Technical Track Design (TTD), who provides his expertise in track design and safety to the project.

The Future of New Jersey Motorsports Park

Lee Brahin, NJMP Managing Director, emphasized the ongoing commitment to the motorsports complex. “We continue to invest and expand Thunderbolt. And our next focus will be on Lightning, which is near and dear to my heart as it was the first circuit to be run when we opened for the 2008 season. Lightning is very fast and unique in many ways, and I simply love driving it.”

Over its 15-year history, NJMP’s Thunderbolt has hosted major professional automobile and motorcycle racing series, has been enjoyed by grassroots racing clubs with their national and regional events, has played a role in driver and rider education through the many schools and development days held there, and has left countless drivers and riders challenged and smiling after their track days. Thunderbolt is home to the NJMP Drivers Club and NJMP Riders Club. And it has been used by major manufacturers as well as film crews for their projects.

NJMP encourages those who are interested in experiencing the new configuration to learn more about track rentals, NJMP Track Days, and exclusive memberships at NJMP.com.

JuniorGP: Sanchez Top American In Valencia (Updated)

Mikey Lou Sanchez was the top-finishing American in the season ending round of the FIM JuniorGP World Championship at the Circuit de Valencia on Sunday.

Sanchez finished 15th in the European Talent Cup race, won by Alex Longarela of Spain. Americans Leonidas Guimaraes and Kensei Matsudaira finished 16th and 17th in the last chance qualifying race early on Sunday morning, and did not transfer to the main race in the afternoon.

Americans Max Toth and Rossi Atilla Moor finished 16th and 17th in the Moto2 race, which was won by Milan Pawelec of Poland. American Kristian Daniel Jr. crashed out of the first JuniorGP race, won by Marco Morelli, and came back to finish 21st in Race Two, also won by Morelli. (The European Talent Cup had the last-chance qualifying race and the main event; the JuniorGP class raced twice; and the Moto2 and Stock classes raced once.)

After missing several rounds due to injury, Moor completed the season 20th in the Moto2 standings. Sanchez finished the season 21st in the European Talent Cup standings.

Board Approves Selling CMRA To RideSmart Owners

CMRA Announces Approval of New Ownership Proposal

Waco, TX — The Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association (CMRA), one of the nation’s most established and respected amateur motorcycle road racing organizations, is entering an exciting new phase as Dave Johnson and Quan Luu, known in the motorcycle community as operators of RideSmart Motorcycle School, move forward in the process to become its new owners.

Dave and Quan’s proposal has been approved by the CMRA Board of Directors, and the organization is now working through the final steps of the transition, with completion expected before the end of the year.

Johnson and Luu have built RideSmart into one of the nation’s most trusted rider-education programs, recognized for its commitment to safety, skill development, and community engagement. Their experience and long-standing dedication to the sport position them well to guide CMRA into its next chapter.

“We’re honored that the Board has approved our proposal,” said Dave Johnson. “CMRA is a cornerstone of the racing community, and we are committed to maintaining its legacy while continuing to elevate the racing experience for all riders.”

“CMRA’s racers and volunteers are among the most passionate in motorsports,” added Quan Luu.
“Our focus is to support that passion by continuing to provide the most competitive, well-organized, and rider-focused racing in the nation.”

As the transition progresses, CMRA members and racers can expect continuity in operations, a full schedule of competitive events, and a renewed emphasis on accessibility, competition, and long-term stability.

The CMRA Board also extends its sincere appreciation to the other proposers (Sport Rider Coaching, ZonaFacta LLC, Throttle Therapy LLC, and Jeff Hughes) for their time, effort, and dedication throughout the process.

Urban Canyons of Macau: BMW Road Racers Claim a 1-2-3

The BMW road racers once again proved unbeatable on the spectacular Guia Circuit in Macau. At the 57th edition of the legendary Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix, they secured a 1-2-3 finish, resulting in an all-BMW podium. The dominant rider of the race weekend was Davey Todd (GBR) on the #8 BMW M 1000 RR of Zeeco BMW Motorrad; after topping both practice and qualifying, the Briton rode to victory through the narrow urban canyons. His teammate Peter Hickman (GBR) and Erno Kostamo (FIN / Racing for Inclusion by RVS) completed the BMW success by finishing second and third.

It was the second time Todd lifted the coveted Macau winner’s trophy. He also stood on the top step of the podium last year. However, that time the actual race could not be held due to rain, and the trophies were awarded to the three fastest riders in qualifying: BMW racers Todd, Kostamo, and Hickman. This year, the weather again caused delays in the motorcycle schedule and qualifying had to be moved from Friday to Saturday, but the 12-lap race started as planned. Todd dominated from pole position and crossed the finish line with a ten-second lead.

Hickman, who has already won the Macau Grand Prix four times with BMW, made a strong comeback from injury by taking second place. Kostamo, the 2022 winner and last year’s runner-up, was also among the favourites. Starting from second on the grid, he held the position in the opening laps, but a small mistake allowed Hickman to pass. In the end, Kostamo secured an unchallenged third place.

A total of six BMW M 1000 RR machines finished within the top ten. Italian Macau newcomer Maurizio Bottalico (Croweperformance / Bottalico) also drew attention by finishing sixth in his debut on the Guia Circuit. Davo Johnson (AUS / Racing for Inclusion by RVS) came home seventh, and Phillip Crowe (GBR / Croweperformance / Bottalico) finished in tenth place.
