Honda British Talent Cup frontrunner Rhys Stephenson has been promoted to the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup to take on a new challenge in 2023 on the Road to MotoGP™.
After an impressive season in the Honda British Talent Cup, Stephenson has been chosen as the selected rider to move up the Road to MotoGP™ next year.
Stephenson emerged as the key race day challenger to eventual Champion Johnny Garness in 2022, with the two staging a number of impressive duels. Stephenson will now move up the Road to MotoGP™ as Dorna and MSVR’s selected rider, but won’t cross paths again with his BTC rival – for now – as Garness will not reach the minimum age to compete in the Rookies in 2023.
