Debuting in 2019, the bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup, is an inclusive program for young aspiring junior riders.

The program has officially been named a Road to MotoGP™ program with the support of Dorna Sports S.L.

The Oceania Junior Cup is a Junior Road Race Academy aimed at developing Oceania’s next road racing stars and as demonstrated in recent years, it is delivering in spades.

It provides young riders with everything they need to take to the track, opening the pathway to the next generation of racers.

The belief in the program is so strong that FIM are supporting the Oceania Junior Cup for multiple years through FIM Oceania.

Dorna Sports S.L, are the commercial rights holders and promoters of MotoGP™, the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship, Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup and British Talent Cup. Dorna has also co-organized the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup since its inception in 2007. Their endorsement is a significant development and adds the bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup to the esteemed list of Dorna Road to MotoGP™ programs around the world.

The Dorna commitment provided opportunities for past and present OJC riders to be selected to compete in international competitions such as the Asia Talent Cup, Red Bull Rookies Cup, MiniGP and European Talent Cup.

A stunningly high percentage of riders across MotoGP™, Moto2™ and Moto3™ classes came from the various Road to MotoGP™ programs, with every permanent rider in the Moto3™ World Championship now having raced in a series on the Road to MotoGP™.

“We are delighted to welcome another series to our Road to MotoGP program,” said Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta.

“The Road to MotoGP is going from strength to strength and has an incredibly successful record in finding and promoting talent. The bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup will be an asset to the program and perfectly complements our aims for the Oceania region. We’re excited to begin this new collaboration.”

The response from MA and Motorcycling New Zealand (MNZ) members has been phenomenal, with the program over-subscribed and applications coming in from nearly every discipline of motorcycle racing as young riders seek an opportunity to be involved.

The backing of Dorna S.L to assist young riders from Oceania through the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup and Red Bull Rookies Cup continues the support provided by the Motorcycling Australia, Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) and FIM Oceania, the regional representatives of the FIM.

As a truly interactive development academy, those participating are coached by former MotoGP rider and race winner, Garry McCoy, developing their riding styles while gaining a truly unique insight into the art of race craft. In addition, off-track activities will include media and PR development and a focus on developing the true value of good sportsmanship.
