List of riders registered for the European Speed Championship in Albacete

The European Speed Championship (UEM) will be held next week at the Albacete Circuit in a single event that will decide this 2012 season’s European champions, so expect maximum excitement in this round, where we will see three races with some of Europe’s best motorcycle riders.

Now that registrations for the 2012 UEM have closed, we know the riders who will be on the Albacete track next week to compete for the Moto3/125GP, Superstock 1000 and Supersport 600 titles. Specifically, we will see 111 participants spread across the three categories, representing 20 different countries.

In the 125GP/Moto3 category, one of the most sought-after titles, we will see 41 riders fighting for it. The current Moto3 World Championship rider, Romano Fenati, holds that title, and many will fight to be the best of the 2012 season. Spain will have 14 representatives, including big names from the Spanish Speed Championship who are coming for this important title, although some absences stand out, such as Álex Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia.

The Moto2 World Championship rider, who is also the current leader of the CEV Moto2, faces another new UEM round, where he hopes to reign for one more season.
