In a month, in Estoril, the JuniorGP of 2025 will begin, the championship where talents that will be MotoGP stars in the future are forged. One of the most powerful teams is the Finetwork XTI MIR, which has participants who aspire to win in the three categories: Moto3, Moto2 and European Talent Cup. That could be appreciated in the first test they did in the Almeria circuit.
Star signing
Moto3 is the queen category, which nourishes the World Cup. Not surprisingly, five of the first six of the 2024 general are already in the World Championship: Álvaro Carpe, Guido Pini, Máximo Quiles, Marcos Uriarte and Cormac Buchanan. The sixth is Jesús Ríos, who has signed for the Finetwork Mir with the clear challenge of being champion. Last year he won three races and astonished everyone. In Almería he showed a great rhythm in his premiere with the Spanish squad. “I am very happy with my debut with the team. I knew it would be a challenge, but the team has worked incredibly well and the times reflect it. I am motivated for what is coming,” he said. Next to him will be Leo Zanni, who jumps to this class.
Cruces go up
In the European Moto2, Adrián Cruces first rolled with his motorcycle, the boscoscuro. He came to shine at the Moto3 World Cup, with an eighth place in Austin. “It has been an incredible experience. Adapting to Moto2 has been a challenge, but I think we are going in the right direction. I am eager to continue working with the team,” he said. The trick facing the crown is Alberto Ferrández. “I am very satisfied with the times and work we have done. This test has been key to refining details and arriving in the best possible way to the championship,” he said.

Three promises
In the European Talent Cup, the Finetwork Mir will feature Edoardo Savino, Mathias Tamburini and Iker Rodríguez, who, by age, must wait for something to be released. “Although I still can’t run in the Juniorgp, this test has served me a lot to continue learning. Now it is time to concentrate on the Subk Talent and keep improving,” he said.
