INTRODUCING THE COYOTE
Nicknamed ‘El Coyote’ (The Coyote), Valentin Perrone is a motorcycle rider from Argentinian/Catalan heritage, born on December 28th, 2007, in Calafell, a small village of Catalunya in Spain. The young boy rode his first minibike at the age of 3, when his father decided to teach Valentin his passion for motorcycles in a parking lot. Quickly, Perrone loved the two wheels, and all the family put all their effort into trying to give Valentin the chance to develop his talent. From 2014, the young boy moved through the Spanish regional and national competitions, until he was given a shot to compete in the European Talent Cup in 2023. He finished 19th that season, but a podium on the season finale caught the eye of the recruiters for the following season…
2024: AN EMERGING TALENT
Renewed for a second year in 2024 with his team in the European Talent Cup, ‘El Coyote’ entered the much-coveted Red Bull MotoGP™ Rookies Cup in 2024, where he made a name for himself. He emerged as one of the standout names in the competition by winning in Mugello and Misano, and making four further rostrum appearances on his way to 3rd in the final standings. He also finished 5th of the ’24 European Talent Cup category as part of the FIM JuniorGP series, and he picked up four trophies, including a win in the last round of the season in Estoril.
2025: WELCOME TO MOTO3™!
The stunning 2024 season of Valentin Perrone caught the eye of Tech3’s team principal Hervé Poncharal who immediately liked the young Argentinian, and he offered him a ride for 2025. Valentin will be a Moto3™ rookie in 2025, and will share a pit box with Jacob Roulstone. The French crew will convert to KTM orange and steer KTM RC4 machinery once more under the name of Red Bull KTM Tech3.
