2022 Red Bull Rookies
The 15th season of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup wrapped up in Aragón in sensational style with David Alonso taking the title and a KTM 125 Duke to enjoy.
15-year-old Colombian David Alonso follows some great names as he chases his dreams after winning the 2021 Red Bull Rookies Cup at Aragon last weekend.
While he was enjoying Cup success this past weekend other ex Rookies were on the podium in all Grand Prix classes.
To date 30 Alumni have stood on the podium and 21 have won Grand Prix. Almost 50% of Rookies have graduated to the World Championship. 8 have won World Championships and last year’s Cup winner Pedro Acosta heads this season’s Moto3 title chase (main image – Acosta advises Alex Millan in the Mugello pit lane). Ex Rookie Raul Fernandez is 2nd in Moto2 and Joan Mir is 3rd in MotoGP having won the title last season.
The next generation are keen to follow and the provisional entry for the 2022 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup is announced.
25 riders from 18 nations are listed. Up to and including 2021, 211 riders representing 36 have competed in the Cup. The addition of Mexico for next season takes that to 37 nations and a total of 223 riders.
Harrison Voight flew the flag for Australia in 2021 and claimed 19-points over the course of an injury-interruped season. The 15-year-old will return for another tilt in 2022 and will be joined by 16-year-old countryman Jacob Roulstone.
