JuniorGP Magny-Cours: The French circuit is preparing to welcome the World Championship with open arms!

The Nevers Magny-Cours Circuit is preparing to welcome with open arms the FIM JuniorGP World Championship ™ in 2025 and some of the most promising riders in the world of motorcycling on French soil.

A single race in the FIM category JuniorGP™ will be accompanied by two races of the FIM European Championship Moto2™, of two duels of theEuropean Talent Cup as well as an FIM European Stock™ battle. The gaps at the top of the standings fluctuated during the last race at Jerez in all categories. Will Magny-Cours have a surprise in store for its debut?

Thanks to the free circuit this weekend, many of you will discover the answer in situ!

The FIM JuniorGP category had a perfect start to 2025 for Brian Uriarte (UAX SeventyTwo Artbox), which remains undefeated this season. With a 23-point lead over the Finnish star Rico Salmela (Estrella Galicia 0,0), which has not yet left the podium in 2025, and 36 points ahead of Leonardo Zanni (Finetwork Mir Racing Team), which has finished fourth in every race this year, the No. 51 is in the lead heading into the fourth race of the year. If Uriarte can secure a fourth consecutive victory, he will be the first driver since Izan Guevera in 2020 to produce such a series.

Behind the top three, the fight is tight in JuniorGP. The Malaysian star Hakim Danish (SIC Racing MSI) is only one point behind Zanni in the standings and only two points ahead Jesus Rios (Finetwork Mir Racing Team), who complete the top five after their double podium in the last race. There is then a ten-point gap to sixth place and Julius Pugliese (CFMOTO Aspar Junior Team), who is one point ahead of his teammate Joel Esteban. Among these seven riders, Zanni, Danish and Pugliese are all looking for their first victory in the category.

On the French side, absent in Jerez due to injury, our only representative, Enzo Bellon (CIP Green Power Junior Team), member of theFrench Speed Team - GP Sector, dropped from 13th to 18th position in the championship.

With a double event on the FIM championship program Moto2™ ECh At Magny-Cours, on the iconic French circuit, the Boscoscuro are the machines to beat. Unai Orradre (Team Ciatti-Boscoscuro) is 28 points ahead of Francis Mongiardo (Fau 55 TEY Racing), who lost points in the last race at Jerez. Six points further back, Alberto Ferrandez (Finetwork XTI Boscoscuro Team) – winner at Estoril but only tenth at Jerez in the last race. Orradre has finished in the top two in every race this year, a statistic he will be keen to maintain.

French side, our two representatives, Johan Gimbert (Promoracing) and Lorenzo Fellon (SF Racing), had a catastrophic Sunday at Jerez, but it will probably be different on a track they know like the back of their hand.

THEETC never disappoints and 2025 has already had some highlights in the first three rounds. Leading the standings before Magny-Cours, the revelation of 2025, Alex Longarela (Snipers AGAX Team), is looking to consolidate his championship lead, currently at 22 points. Having finished on the podium in every race so far and winning at Jerez, will he be able to keep the reigning champion at bay? Carlos cano (SeventyTwo Artbox Racing Team) and Alvaro Lucas (CFMOTO Aspar Junior Team)? Fernando Bujosa (AC Racing Team) is the fourth different winner in as many races in 2025. Is a fifth on the horizon in France?

French side, Antoine Nativi (JEG TAKE OFF GP) leads our representation in front of the pilot of theFrench Speed Team - GP Sector David DaCosta (JEG TAKE OFF GP) who unfortunately fractured his tibia during the Red Bull Rookies Cup at Mugello.
Evan Boxberger (JEG TAKE OFF GP) is progressing and, like all of our 14 representatives, will aim to shine in the Nièvre region…

The championship Stock™ is currently the closest in the paddock, with just nine points separating Borja Gomez (Team Honda Laglisse) and Iker Garcia (Yamaha GC Racing), the two winners of the year so far. Five points behind Garcia, Archie McDonald (PS Racing Team) is in third place. He secured his first podium of 2025 in the last race and now wants to add his name to the list of winners.
