RedBull MotoGP Rookies Cup

The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup is a highly competitive, one-make motorcycle racing championship that serves as an essential proving ground for future MotoGP riders. All participants compete on identical KTM RC 250 R bikes to ensure a level playing field, with only minimal modifications permitted. This format highlights the riders’ talent, skill, and racecraft rather than relying on technical advantages.

Riders are selected for this prestigious championship either through exceptional performance in domestic and international competitions or via a rigorous two-day selection event that identifies emerging talent from around the world. The championship is open to riders aged between 15 and 19 years, and participation is considered a gateway for young racers aiming to progress into the MotoGP World Championship or World Superbikes.

This unique format, combined with its global recognition, makes the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup an unparalleled opportunity for aspiring riders to develop and showcase their abilities on some of the most iconic circuits in Europe.

I want to give a massive shout out to everyone who has helped me in my amazing 2024 season:

First of all I can not believe I am a Champion! This would not be possible without any of you. Rich, thank you for believing in me. You drove from Bolton (11+hr round trip) to meet with me pre season so that I didn’t turn up round one without knowing you. You have the biggest heart and you have been so generous throughout the season. To Keith & Shaz, you both have played a special part this season. Keith you listened to my feedback and made sure that my bike handled like a dream. You kept me calm when I needed to be and I am so happy that we will continue this journey together and to Shaz for making the best curry for our team celebration meals. My Dad, the hours you spent making sure that my bike was the best it could be all season, it never missed a beat. This is the second Championship winning bike you have given me.
To my mum for being my biggest supporter and never losing faith that I couldn’t succeed. From calculating my fuel to helping dad build the bike to making sure we got fed at the meetings.
Reece and Gary, Reece for being my mechanic for the past two seasons and for Gary making the executive decisions and feeding the team with the best homemade brownies.
To my mentor and best mate Kyle Smith and Sandra Versluys Trives for playing the biggest part in my journey. For taking me in as one of your own and spending hours upon hours training me on and off the track and sharing all of your knowledge. For Julia and Tyler being the crazy kids you are, special thanks to Tyler for giving up your bed every time I visit and for getting you ear pierced to match me. To Butch and Connor for stepping in to help out with my bike when needed, especially to Butch at the last round. Connor I still need to sign your scar!
To my teammates, Alexander, Charlie and Azeiah and their gangs Chris, Emma and Beardy and to Chris and Wendy, Dave and Nath I have really enjoyed being in the same team with you all and thank you all for your support and encouragement.
To Sean for coming over from America to help for the last two rounds and to all Rich’s mates that also came along and stepped in to help where needed.

Now onto my sponsors without your support I not be able to continue with my dream, for this I am so grateful:
