The Red Bull KTM Tech3 duo were on hand as each rider in the World Final is matched with the machine they’ll be riding in Valencia
The latest FIM MiniGP World Final is on the horizon! As we get ready to welcome the class of 2025 to the Circuit Ricardo Tormo ahead of the MotoGP finale, Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and stand-in teammate Pol Espargaro were on hand for the annual MiniGP bike lottery.
On Thursday at Sepang, the MotoGP stars helped match the riders with the machines they’ll be riding in the event. As it has done in previous years, for transparency and fairness, the selection is via lottery. With each rider set to arrive with a bike on site to race, as well as a host of other crucial technical and rider equipment for their use at the event, randomisation ensures a level playing field for all.
The randomly selected rider from one bowl was matched to a randomly selected chassis and engine from another bowl. Bastianini and Espargaro held up each selected rider and bike before each selection was placed on the board showing the matches, the fairest way to do it.
With the lottery done, it’s not long until it’s time to switch into race mode. The FIM MiniGP World Final kicks off with a day of briefings and checks on Tuesday the 12th of November, before Wednesday’s Free Practice and qualifying sessions take place ahead of the main event on Thursday in Valencia!
