Those who want to follow in the footsteps of Moto3 World Champion Brad Binder will be present in Guadix in Spain next week for the selections of the eleventh Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, on October 18, 19 and 20.
For the second year in a row, an ex-Rookie won the Moto3 world title. And like last year's Moto2 World Champion, another ex-Rookie, Johann zarco, will move to MotoGP next year, the former students will then be scattered throughout all categories of the World Championship.
For the 2017 season, 116 pilots from 32 nations, from Sri Lanka to South Africa, and from Russia to Venezuela, were invited to undergo the selections. Over the three days they will be able to showcase their skills on the 125cc Metrakit, a motorcycle already used by Brad Binder in his time. A panel of experts will draw up a shortlist of candidates selected to compete in the 2017 edition of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup which will feature 13 races across Europe on KTM RC 250 R Moto3s.
Like last year, everyone can vote on the organizer's Facebook page to highlight his favorite candidate. All he has to do is write the name of the young man or woman in the comments. Please note, however, that (fortunately) this does not influence driver selection.
