The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup starts its seventh season with two races at the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin, Texas on April 20-21. The 14-round season will conclude with two races at the Grand Prix of Aragón at the end of September.

During those seven months the 24 teenagers will once more thrill the racing world with their intense dedication to improving their racing skills and showing themselves ready to move into the World Championship Grand Prix classes.

Next year sees not only a new race track but new machinery as the Cup adopts the KTM 250 RBR four-stroke Moto3 machine, finally saying goodbye to the two-stroke KTM RC 125 that has powered so many on their way to GP careers.

The Rookies get their first chance to ride the new machines at two Jerez tests, a total of four days of preseason testing on February 22-23 and March 12-13. The new machine is a very close brother to the 2013 factory Red Bull KTM that will be used by the Ajo Motorsport Team that starts the year as reigning World Champions through Sandro Cortese’s title in 2012.

There could be no better machine for the Rookies for not only did the KTM take Cortese to five victories and a total of 15 podiums last year but it also gave teammates and ex-Rookies Danny Kent two wins and put Arthur Sissis on the podium in his first GP season.
