MotoAmerica: Cameron Dunker Joins MP13 Racing for Mid-Ohio

Australian Superbike Rider Cameron Dunker Will Compete In MotoAmerica Supersport For MP13 Racing/One Cure Racing At Mid-Ohio.

Avery And Ella Dreher Re-Signed For 2027 Supersport Campaign.

Oceanside, CA – July 24, 2026 – MP13 Racing/One Cure Racing, which competes in MotoAmerica’s Supersport Championship, is going international with half of its rider lineup for next weekend’s Superbikes At Mid-Ohio event, which takes place at the storied Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. The team is bringing in Australian rider Cameron Dunker, who finished a very strong fourth in the 2026 Australian Superbike Championship’s final points standing. The announcement was made by MP13 Racing team owner Melissa Paris and One Cure Racing’s David Pierce.

Nineteen-year-old Dunker teams up with New York-based rider Joseph LiMandri Jr., who joined MP13 Racing/One Cure Racing two MotoAmerica rounds ago at Ridge Motorsports Park, also raced for the team at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and will continue to race the #641 MP13 Racing/One Cure Racing MV Agusta F3 RR.

Paris, who raced as LiMandri Jr.’s teammate at Laguna Seca, personally selected Dunker to join the team.

“You never want to be in the position of looking for a fill-in rider midseason, let alone two of them,” commented Paris. “As a team, we have tried to reframe it as an opportunity for some of these riders to prove that they deserve a place in the MotoAmerica paddock. Cameron obviously has an impressive resume back in Australia, and he also has a few people I trust who vouched for him. It will be a big challenge for him, throwing a leg over a new motorcycle and trying to learn a track like Mid-Ohio on the fly, but I have all the faith in my team and his talent.”

Dunker, who hails from Kurri Kurri, New South Wales in Australia, will be aboard the #33 MP13 Racing/One Cure Racing MV Agusta middleweight machine. “I’m incredibly grateful to Melissa and the entire MP13 Racing/One Cure Racing team for giving me the opportunity to compete in the MotoAmerica Supersport Championship,” Dunker said. “I’d also like to wish Avery and Ella Dreher all the best in their recoveries, and I hope they will be back on their bikes soon.

“It’s a privilege to step in and represent the team. I’m looking forward to getting to work, racing in America, and making the most of this amazing opportunity.”

The Return Of The Dynamic Dreher Duo

Avery and Ella Dreher are continuing to make progress in their recoveries from injuries suffered in separate on-track incidents earlier this season. In a poignant show of solidarity and support for the Dynamic Dreher Duo, Paris and Pierce are excited to announce that they have signed Ella and Avery to race for the team in the 2027 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship.

Paris said, “2026 was shaping up to be a dream season for MP13 Racing thanks to the support of the Pierces and One Cure Racing. Having both Ella and Avery get injured the way they did has definitely been a bit of a blow to the morale for the whole team. I’m so grateful to Mr. David and Miss Maxine for giving us all a chance to do it again next year. I’ve not met many racers with the same level of determination and drive I see from Ella and Avery… and I’m looking forward to getting back to work with them as soon as they are ready.”

One Cure Racing’s David Pierce added, “My affiliation with MP13 Racing is about creating opportunities for young people and to raise awareness for One Cure.

“It is very satisfying for my wife Maxine and me to give young riders who don’t have the means to pursue the sport on a professional level the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities before a wider audience. Ours is an expensive sport, and if our best young men and women are to succeed, they need some help. It is truly gratifying to make these resources available.”

About continuing with MP13 Racing/One Cure Racing in MotoAmerica’s 2027 Supersport Championship, Avery Dreher said, “I am really excited to continue with the MP13 Racing team for 2027. I love working with everyone on the team, and I feel like we can really build off this season. Racing Supersport this year has been amazing, and I’m having a blast on the MV Agusta. I’m stoked to get another go at it next year and keep progressing.”

Avery’s sister Ella added, “I’m super-stoked to be racing Supersport again in 2027 with the MP13/One Cure team. I had a pretty big hiccup earlier this season, but I’ve been working hard every day to get stronger and get back on the bike. The MV Agusta is a sweet motorcycle. I can’t wait to throw my leg over it again and be back racing in MotoAmerica. I’d like to thank Melissa and the whole team for staying by my side through this ordeal, and I seriously can’t wait to get back racing again.”

About One Cure

Through One Cure, David and Maxine Pierce have a longstanding affiliation with the Colorado State University Veterinary Clinic and said, “We are of the unshakable opinion that the Colorado State University Veterinary Clinic is the very best at what they do. One Cure is an initiative to make the very best cancer treatments available to our companion animals and to enable successful treatments to also be made available to people. It is important to note that the research is made available to animals who present in the clinic. No animals are given cancer. Maxine and I have had several dogs with cancer and have participated in clinical trials to help expand the knowledge base in this very important work.”

Dunker and LiMandri Jr. will take to the track next Friday, July 31, at Mid-Ohio starting with Supersport Practice 1 at 9:30 a.m. ET. Supersport Qualifying 1 is also on Friday at 2:10 p.m. ET. Qualifying 2 will commence on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. ET, and Race 1 will go green at 1:20 p.m. ET on Saturday. Race 2 is on Sunday, also at 1:20 p.m. ET.

Moto Guzzi World Days 2026 Celebrates New Museum & Factory

From 3 to 6 September, history will be made in Mandello del Lario, Italy:

Moto Guzzi celebrates its 105th birthday with the opening of its new facility.
The new Moto Guzzi Museum is inaugurated, a hub of technology, innovation, and the history of World Motorcycling.
Mandello becomes a meeting place where corporate culture and cutting-edge technology come together, and where tradition and experimentation converge.
A super-modern hub with extensive space for events, workshops, immersive experiences, and shopping.

Tens of thousands of motorcyclists and fans are expected to descend upon Mandello for four days of music, beautiful bikes and events open to everyone.

Mandello del Lario, Italy – It is set to be one of the most important events in Moto Guzzi’s history: from 3 to 6 September, Mandello del Lario, a town on the eastern shore of Lake Como, will host the largest ever event in the history of the Moto Guzzi World Days (GMG), dedicated to the opening of the new factory and the new Moto Guzzi Museum.

Moto Guzzi will celebrate the 105th anniversary of its foundation, and, above all, will usher in a new and crucial chapter in its history: a futuristic architectural masterpiece is born, encompassing 105 years of history without distorting, but rather enriching it, and demonstrating Moto Guzzi’s approach to innovation. A place designed to create, experiment, enjoy rich experiences and stir up powerful emotions. A place where love for a brand is fused with a vision of the future – the home of the new Moto Guzzi, which will continue to welcome visitors for the next 105 years.

It will be a hyper-modern facility featuring cutting-edge technology, where the Moto Guzzi models of the 21st century will be manufactured, in the very same location where production has been taking place continuously since 1921. But it will also be a place where tradition and innovation meet, combining corporate culture and advanced technical solutions.

The new Moto Guzzi Museum will be home to the memory of a history that is unique in the world, founded upon technology, design and continuous innovation.

The new spaces, which lie within the factory’s original perimeter, are designed to welcome visitors from all over the world, providing a modern hub that is also home to the large Motoplex Store, dedicated to shopping, as well as a café and spaces for workshops,events and immersive experiences. Everything will be open to the public free of charge from Thursday 3 September to Sunday 6 September after registration on the event website, gmg.motoguzzi.com.

Thousands of fans from all over the world are expected to attend the 2026 GMG event.
One of the highlights of the packed programme will be the grand parade on Saturday morning, which will see thousands of Moto Guzzi motorcycles, of every era and model, taking part in a ride from Lecco to Mandello del Lario.

There will be four days of music, with a stage and entertainment provided by Virgin Radio. Free test rides on bikes from the entire Moto Guzzi range will be back, and visitors to the street food area will be spoiled for choice as ever.

FIM MotoJunior Moto2: Rossi Moor Ready For Magny-Cours

FIM MotoJunior Moto2: Rossi Moor Ready For Magny-Cours

Rossi Attila Moor ready for Magny-Cours: Round 4 marks the midpoint of the season.

After a first part of the season marked by steady progress, Rossi Attila Moor is ready to take on the fourth round of the FIM MotoJunior Moto2 World Championship scheduled at Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours in France.

The French event will mark the midpoint of the season and will also be the final round before the summer break. Following Magny-Cours, the championship will pause for approximately one month and ten days before resuming on September 6 in Valencia.

The American-Hungarian rider, supported by title sponsor Révész Racing, arrives at the fourth round of the season holding seventh place in the overall championship standings, after showing continuous progress throughout the first three rounds.

At Barcelona Rossi finished the two races in 13th and 10th place. At the following round in Estoril, he secured ninth and eighth place, while at Jerez he achieved his best result of the season so far, advancing directly to Q2, qualifying 10th on the grid and finishing the race in seventh place.

Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours represents a new and demanding technical challenge. The French track is 4.411 kilometers long and features 17 corners, with a layout that combines heavy braking zones, strong acceleration, rapid changes of direction and sections where precision, stability and proper bike management will be crucial. Moto2 bikes are expected to reach a top speed of approximately 285 km/h.

The weather forecast indicates mainly summer conditions throughout the weekend. High temperatures are expected on Friday and Saturday, while Sunday may bring cooler and potentially more variable conditions. Weather could therefore become another important factor in setup preparation and technical decision-making.

Rossi and his technical crew will aim to continue the development path shown during the previous rounds, improving both qualifying performance and race pace while further reducing the gap to the leading riders.

“We arrive at Magny-Cours after three rounds in which we have improved step by step. At Jerez we achieved our best result of the season, but we know there is still more potential. Magny-Cours will be a new and very technical track. Our goal is to work well from the opening practice session, take another step forward and finish the first part of the championship in the best possible way before the summer break.”

WEEKEND SCHEDULE:

Friday, July 24

Free Practice 1: 11:15–11:50

Free Practice 2: 15:50–16:25

CVMA Opens 2026-2027 Competition Licensing

Desert Center, CA — Chuckwalla Valley Motorcycle Association (CVMA) has officially opened licensing for the upcoming 2026-2027 Winter Series and is kicking things off with incentives for returning racers, several rule updates, and continued investment in the race weekend experience.

Snowbird Special

Racers who purchase their 2026-2027 CVMA Competition License before October 1, 2026, will receive a $50 discount on RV or trailer storage at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, making it even easier for racers who want to leave their equipment on site for the winter.

As always, racers who renew during the July renewal period will also retain their existing competition numbers before unclaimed numbers become available on August 1.

Rule Changes for 2026-2027

While this year’s rulebook changes are relatively minor, several racer-requested updates have been approved.

The biggest addition is the introduction of Formula 50, which will be offered as a provisional class for the upcoming season. Designed for racers age 50 and older, Formula 50 will feature a single race combining Open-class motorcycles, Middleweight motorcycles, and Twins. With limited daylight during the winter months, adding another standalone race is not practical, so Formula 50 will be run as a second wave behind Formula 40 Open.

Additional updates include allowing 400cc four-cylinder motorcycles in the Ultra Lightweight classes: Formula Ultra Lightweight, 500 Supersport, Formula Ultra Lightweight Shootout, Formula 40 ULW, and Femmewalla ULW.

These adjustments expand opportunities for several popular motorcycles while maintaining competitive balance across the class structure.

Payouts

The CVMA Sunday Shootout purses will remain unchanged and will be paid as follows:

The Shootout (10 laps)
1st: $3,000 | 2nd: $2,000 | 3rd: $1,500 | 4th: $1,000 | 5th: $750

Supersport Middleweight Shootout (10 laps)
1st: $2,000 | 2nd: $1,500 | 3rd: $1,000 | 4th: $750 | 5th: $500

Formula Lightweight Twins Shootout (8 laps)
1st: $1,000 | 2nd: $750 | 3rd: $500 | 4th: $250 | 5th: $150

Formula Ultra Lightweight Shootout (8 laps)
1st: $1,000 | 2nd: $750 | 3rd: $500 | 4th: $250 | 5th: $150

Femmewalla Open (6 laps)
1st: $300 | 2nd: $200 | 3rd: $100

Femmewalla Ultra Lightweight (6 laps)
1st: $200 | 2nd: $125 | 3rd: $75

Enhanced Live Coverage

CVMA’s partnership with 951 Live will continue throughout the 2026-27 season, bringing professional multi-camera race coverage to fans around the world.

In addition to continuing live broadcasts, racers and viewers can look forward to several exciting enhancements to this season’s coverage. More details will be announced as the opening round approaches.

Companies interested in advertising during the live broadcasts can contact Justin Murphy by texting or calling him at 951.333.8244.

Looking Ahead

The 2026-27 Winter Series continues CVMA’s mission of delivering premier motorcycle road racing through competitive racing, professional operations, and an unmatched racer experience in an environment built for racers, by racers.

Competition licenses are available now, and racers are encouraged to take advantage of the July Snowbird Special before the promotion ends.

WSBK: Lecuona Re-Signs with Ducati For 2027 & 2028 Seasons

The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Team is pleased to announce the renewal of its agreement with Iker Lecuona, who will continue to defend the italian team’s colours for the next two WorldSBK seasons aboard the factory Ducati Panigale V4R machine.

The confirmation of the Spanish rider represents a sign of continuity in a shared journey that, since the beginning of the 2026 season, has delivered outstanding results, with 20 podiums and a first Superbike victory claimed in Race 1 at Donington Park in the last round.

Stefano Cecconi (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Team Principal): “We’re really happy to continue this journey with Iker. From the very beginning, we believed in his talent, but what truly won us over was the way he became part of the group: he adapted to the bike and to the team with surprising naturalness, always bringing the same passion, dedication and team spirit that define our garage. Having two more seasons ahead of us together is a fantastic prospect. There is still a long road ahead, and we have every intention of following it all the way, with the ambition to fight for the biggest result.”

Luigi Dall’Igna (General Manager Ducati Corse): “The confirmation of Iker for the next two seasons is an important sign for the entire Ducati project in WorldSBK. In just a few months, he has shown that he can interpret the Panigale V4R at its best, quickly turning his potential into concrete results and showing constant growth from both a technical and competitive point of view. The current foundations are very solid and the room for development is interesting. Iker has brought speed, riding sensitivity and experience, all fundamental elements in an increasingly competitive championship. Now the goal is to continue working with method, trying to raise the level even further in every area. We are convinced that, with this ambition and continuity, he can also be a leading player in the most important challenges awaiting us in the near future.”

Iker Lecuona (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati #7)” “I am really happy. I have already said several times how my life has completely changed since I joined this great family. For this reason, renewing my contract with Aruba.it Racing – Ducati is deeply satisfying. I want to thank Aruba and Ducati for giving me this new opportunity. It is great to think about a future together, but the most important thing now is to finish this season in the best possible way, trying to enjoy ourselves, keep improving our performance and, above all, achieve increasingly important results.”

Mission Mini Cup features riders aged six to 16 in the following classes:

Stock 50 (ages 6-8)
Stock 110 (ages 8-12)

GP 160 (ages 10-14)

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (July 24, 2026) – Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, announced today that the Dan Bromley AFT ProSport 450 Invitational will be held as part of the Caterpillar Peoria TT on Saturday, August 22.

Invitations have been extended to riders who earned AFT Pro Sport licenses through the Road to AFT Program during the 2026 season. A $4,000 purse will be on the line for the invited field as it competes alongside the Progressive AFT national championship program at Peoria. Each invited rider will also receive complimentary event entry and two event pit passes.

The AFT ProSport 450 Invitational class at the Caterpillar Peoria TT honors the legacy of Dan Bromley, a third-generation racer who captured the 2018 AFT Singles championship and the 2025 AFT AdventureTrackers championship. Bromley’s consistency, versatility, humility and presence in the paddock left a lasting impact throughout the flat track community.

By bringing the sport’s rising talent to one of its most iconic stages, the invitational will celebrate the future of American Flat Track while recognizing a champion whose influence extended far beyond his results on the track.
