The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup 2014 kicks off in Jerez

The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup 2014 gets underway this weekend at the Jerez Circuit, so the promotional cup will start a season that is expected to be very closely contested and in which our riders are once again set to be protagonists. The 24 young riders will have two races to fight for a good result at the start of the year.

Talking about favourites is a bit tricky because there are always surprises, but it is true that several names have stood out, such as Jorge Martín, who in the 2013 season took victory in the first race at the Andalusian track, and who has also been one of the dominant figures in the promotional cup’s pre-season, being the best rider in the tests held at the Motorland Aragón Circuit.

Nor can we forget one of the young riders, Joan Mir, who has shown great strength and pace throughout the pre-season. Moreover, he is racing at home just like Martín, which gives even more motivation to go all out in these first two races held at the Jerez track. Although it is not only our riders who will be trying to achieve a great result; we must also be wary of the Italian armada, who are coming with plenty of enthusiasm and the potential to cause a lot of trouble.

Don’t miss any of the action from this promotional cup with so many followers, remember that the first race will take place on Saturday at 16:30 and the second race will be on Sunday at 15:30; and that both races can be watched here.
