FIM JuniorGP World Championship

2025 Permanent Entry lists

The permanent entry lists for the four categories that make up the FIM JuniorGP World Championships are presented below.

The minimum entry age for all classes is 16, apart from the European Talent Cup, where the minimum age is 14. There is also an upper age limit in place for the categories.


FIM Junior GP

For the FIM JuniorGP, the maximum age is 25 years old at the 1st of January of the corresponding Championship year.

This category race Moto3 style 250 cc four-stroke singles with a maximum bore of 81 mm and a rev limit of 13,500 rpm.

The only allowed Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is the Race version of Dellorto DoPE 2.0, DoPE 3.0 and Do Power 1 ECU. Minimum total weight of Motorcycle + Rider is 151 kg.

17-year-old Marianos Nikolis is the sole Australian entrant in the Junior GP category. Nikolis won the Oceania Junior Cup in 2020 and has recently competed in the Asia Talent Cup. Last year, Marianos competed in the European Talent Cup division, but this season moves into the Junior GP ranks.

Marianos Nikolis

“I’m really excited to be racing my first world championship in the JuniorGP—just one step away from my ultimate goal.  Last year, I competed in the European Talent Cup with Team Estrella Galicia and had a strong season.  Joining AGR for this new chapter is something I’m looking forward to, as they have a strong history of success with international riders. I can’t wait to get on the KTM Moto3 for the first time and start working with the team. AGR team owner Anscari Nadal has a lot of confidence in me and my ability, and he is eager for me to join his rider training program, which will be a great opportunity for my development.

“This pre-season preparation in Australia has also been very productive—I have put in a lot of hard work, training with Wayne Maxwell, and gained valuable experience racing on a 600, which has brought me a lot of success. I feel confident, well-prepared, and ready to take on the season ahead.

“As I continue this journey, I will reside in Barcelona and be based with the team, ensuring I am fully immersed in the best environment for my growth and performance.”

Stock European Championship

For the Stock European Championship, the limit for the maximum age finishes at the end of the year in which the rider reaches the age of 50.

Stock motorcycles require an FIM homologation. Eligible models are dictated by the FIM and race with for the most part completely standard engines and intake systems.

The following engine configurations comprise the Stock class:

  • Over 400 cc up to 637 cc – 4-stroke 4 cylinders
  • Over 500 cc up to 675 cc – 4-stroke 3 cylinders
  • Over 600 cc up to 750 cc – 4-stroke 4 2 cylinders

JuniorGP reserves the right to applying balancing to the machines in the Stock class as they see fit in order to maintain equality amongst machines. Methods may include but are not limited to the following:

  • Rev Limit
  • Weight limit change
  • Eligible Parts

The minimum weight for each model is calculated by FIM by determining the “dry weight” of the homologated motorcycle.

The “dry” weight of a homologated motorcycle is defined as the total weight of the empty motorcycle as produced by the manufacturer (after removal of fuel, vehicle number plate, tools and main stand and side stand when fitted but with oil and radiator liquid at prescribed level). To confirm the “dry” weight a minimum of three (3) motorcycles are weighed and compared. The result will be rounded off to the nearest digit.

The minimum weight for each model will be calculated by reducing the dry weight” of the motorcycle in 12 kg.

At any time of the event, the weight of the whole machine (including the tank and its contents) must not be lower than the minimum weight. There is no tolerance on this minimum weight.

Two Australians are on the permanent entry list in the category for 2025.

19-year-old Declan Van Rosmalen grew up in Melbourne but in recent years has predominantly resided in America, between bouts of racing here in ASBK.

“I am really excited to start my season over in Spain for the FIM juniorGP stock 600 and the ESBK stock 600 with the team. Me and the team have made a lot of progress last year and this year we are really looking forward to getting started with season we have a lot of work to do. I’m going to be based close to Alicante in Spain to be close to my crew chief to do training together. I think me and the team are going to have a great year and hopefully put it on the box if we can but a lot of steps forward.”

Archie McDonald won the opening round of the 2025 Australian Supersport Championship on a Stop & Seal YZF-R6 last weekend . The now 18-year-old will also be on an R6 in the Stock European Championship in 2025.  Archie took a win in the category last season and says he is ready to win it this year.

“This will be my third year in the Stock European Championship. In 2025 I will race with the R6 PS Racing Team. I will again live in Mallorca and regularly train with my coach Angel Poyatos and on the same tracks as MotoGP world champions. I feel more prepared and focussed than ever before and am ready to win.”
