Texan Mikey Lou Sanchez is moving up to race in the FIM JuniorGP European Talent Cup (ETC) in 2024. This Championship hosts the pathway to MotoGP, with talent from all over the world. The European Talent cup consists of seven races around Europe including Italy, Portugal, and Spain. Unfortunately due to the age restrictions, Mikey will miss the first two rounds of the championship. New age requirements were introduced in 2023 with a minimum age of 14 for the ETC. All races are televised in English on the FIM JuniorGP YouTube Channel.

Mikey Lou will continue with the MRE Talent Team after a successful 2023 ESBK PreMoto3 season and finishing fourth overall in the Championship.

“I think Mikey Lou is up for the challenge. He’s got a lot of determination, and a kid like that needs challenges. It will be very hard and he’ll learn a lot, and at this age that’s what it’s all about. It will be a great learning year,” says Michael Sanchez, Mikey Lou’s father.

Mikey says, “I’m excited to race with MRE Talent in the ETC. I will continue to try hard, and my goal is to be on the podium this year. It’s going to be very hard compared to PreMoto3, but I know with my crew chief Caco we can be front runner for sure.”
