Two fourteen-year-old bikers from South Moravia will ride the prestigious European Championship
Both racers have been riding motorcycles since childhood. “I started at the Brno Automotodrom Academy at the age of five on a small motorcycle,” says Novotný. The second rider responds similarly. “From the age of four, I rode in old China, which is a low-power minibike, on the track behind the Globe in Brno. A year later, I started training on the Brno circuit, “recalls Prokeš.
Filip Novotný is looking forward to participating in the European motorcycle racing series Northern Talent Cup. “It’s great that Michal and I were chosen. I only know a few tracks from video games, so it will be a completely new experience. In any case, I will do my best to achieve the best possible results. I will train in Italy and Spain before the start of the race, so I hope that I will prepare well for the start of the new season, “Novotný hopes.

Michal Prokeš also does not hide the joy of qualifying for the prestigious cup. “It’s an indescribable feeling. I am very happy, but at the same time I have a lot of respect, because it will be something completely new for me and I do not know the circuits at all. I’m most looking forward to Le Mans in France. I will do my best to achieve the best possible result, “shares Prokeš.
Competitors are now mainly engaged in individual training, because the Brno autodrome is closed in winter. The Kurim racer is even building a home fitness center. Brno strengthens mainly with its own weight. “I train balance, explosiveness and perception. Then we ride electric motorcycles in the hall in Prague and on the whole circuit in Brno, where various summer camps take place, ”says Novotný.
Twenty-six European talents under the age of 18 are taking part in the third year of the Northern Talent Cup. The first test race will take place in April in Germany. “We have to meet riders, motorcycles and tracks. Then we will drive the first race in Le Mans, France, another in Germany, the third on the German Sachsenring circuit, another in Assen, the Netherlands, here in Most, then the Netherlands and the last race is in Austria in September, ”says Novotný.
Abraham about Gurecki’s death: I’m so sorry, I was looking forward to what he showed
Brno will enter the championship with the starting number twenty-nine, with whom he won the title of national champion last year. Michal Prokeš will ride the number sixteen on the motorcycle. “Unfortunately, the ten I have had in a minibike since I started at the age of five is busy. That’s why I chose sixteen. It is the date of my birth, so hopefully I will bring me luck, “hopes the rider from Kurim.
Both racers like to watch professional motorcyclists on TV. Brno is a fan of the Spanish driver Marc Marquez. The Kurim racer again admired the late Italian Marc Simoncelli.
