Eye-catching Red Bull MotoGP™ Rookies Cup race winner Valentin Perrone has been signed to compete alongside Jacob Roulstone for the Red Bull KTM Tech3 team next season.

Perrone, who will be 17 years old by the start of the 2025 world championship campaign comes from Argentina/Catalan heritage and has been moving through the Spanish regional and national competition ladder until he scored a podium in the 2023 European Talent Cup.

In 2024 he emerged as one of the standout names in the Red Bull MotoGP™ Rookies Cup by winning in Mugello and Misano and making four further rostrum appearances on his way to 3rd in the final standings. He is also in contention for the top three of the ’24 European Talent Cup category as part of the FIM JuniorGP series and has picked up three trophies so far: his highest classification being a 2nd place in the recent eighth round of eleven at Jerez.

Perrone will be a Moto3™ rookie in 2025 and will share a pitbox with Roulstone who has had a decent maiden campaign with the team with a string of top ten finishes and promising speed across a spread of new circuits for the Australian. The crew will convert to KTM orange and steer KTM RC4 machinery once more.
