Despite the U.S.’s rich Grand Prix motorcycle history, only two Moto2 riders will hail from the Colonies in 2023. To help future generations of American riders return to the world stage, the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) integrated several U.S.-based race series into the Road to MotoGP program. The North America Talent Cup is one such series and it will bring the best up-and-coming racers to the fore in 2023.
Based on Europe’s Nothern Talent Cup, the one-make race series will feature Aprilia’s RS250 SP2 race bike developed in partnership with Ohvale. Riders must be 14-16 to meet eligibility and registration is currently open through February 6, 2023. With young riders nationwide scrambling to submit their applications, the Northern Talent Cup released its 2023 provisional calendar in the nick of time.
