Din vej ind i MotoGP

Kender du vejen rundt på en racerbane, og føler du at du er blevet så skarp at der efterhånden skal ledes længe efter udfordring og konkurrence? Så er svaret måske her!

Dorna Sports har nemlig åbnet muligheden for at du kan komme et skridt nærmere en potentiel karriere som MotoGP-stjerne, med det spritnye ”Northern Talent Cup” som har planlagt start næste år.

Formålet med Northern Talent Cup er ganske enkelt at give folk fra det centrale og nordlige Europa muligheden for at give racer-karrieren et skub bagi, med det – ifølge dem selv – perfekte springbræt mellem lavere nationale mesterskaber og FIM CEV Repsol- og Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup.

Northern Talent Cup er designet til at skabe tæt konkurrence mellem kørerne, med høj fokus på økonomisk ansvarlighed inden for praktisk mulige rammer, og derfor er løbskalenderen udformet således at rejseudgifter for kørere og teams holdes lavest muligt.

Mange kørere har ind til nu set sig nødsaget til at rejse på tværs af Europa, for at møde konkurrence på et højt nok plan til at blive udfordret, hvilket jo er en nødvendighed for at kunne udvikle egne evner. 

Northern Talent Cup sigter efter at give kørere bedre mulighed for at kunne deltage i arrangementerne via strategisk planlægning, hvilket forhåbentlig skulle øge chancen for at kunne udleve racer-drømmen hos yngre kørere – og der er altså god opbakning omkring initiativet. Både Dorna og ADAC vil stille ved samtlige arrangementer med trænere, medlemmer fra løbsledelsen og mandskab til at håndtere teknisk kontrol.

Pit Beirer, KTM Motorsports Director: 

“First of all we are very proud that we have been selected by Dorna Sports and ADAC as a partner for the new Northern Talent Cup on the Road to MotoGP™. It’s a great pleasure to work with young, talented riders and KTM is successfully doing this in other racing disciplines. We share the opinion that an easy entry-level bike was missing in the past, and we are happy to provide the appropriate machine for young riders with the ambition to reach the Moto3 category. This is especially true in relation to handling, service and cost efficiency. It was important to offer an optimal price-service ratio. We are looking forward to the launch of the Northern Talent Cup with exciting riders and race action. I am sure this concept will find and produce new northern and central European talent in road racing.”

Herman Tomczyk, ADAC Sports President: 

“We will open a new chapter in the promotion of young talent with our partners Dorna and KTM. The Northern Talent Cup has a forward-looking concept and is the next step in ADAC's nearly 30-year history of promoting junior motorcycling. With the inclusion of the Northern Talent Cup as a Dorna Program and with the support of KTM, young talents in this series have ideal conditions on their Road to MotoGP.”

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports: 

“I am delighted to see the Road to MotoGP grow once again as we announce the new Northern Talent Cup, in partnership with ADAC. The NTC will be an important addition to our commitment to growing talent around the world, with countries in northern and central Europe representing a key market for our sport. In addition, there is a long and great tradition of racing in many of these nations and I'm proud we are able to contribute to that history with the NTC.”
