The Northern Talent Cup is a one-make European motorcycle racing series. It was created to give young riders from Central and Northern European countries a first stepping stone on the road to MotoGP.[1]
The series races on the KTM 250 Standard, and uses the European Talent Cup as a blueprint. One of the top riders will have a chance to race in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup the next year, and at least two will be take part in the Rookies cup selection.[1]
In the inaugural season in 2020, Hungarian rider Soma Görbe won the title,[2] and sixth place German Freddie Heinrich raced in the 2021 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, and in 2021, Czech rider Jakub Gurecký won the cup,[3] and he and Belgian runner-up Lorenz Luciano were selected for the 2022 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup.
