In another weekend without MotoGP before returning with the Dutch GP, the young stars of the future take to the track at the Algarve International Circuit for another round of the FIM JuniorGP. The program includes the JuniorGP World Championship and also the Moto2 European Championship, the European Stock Championship and the European Talent Cup. After three rounds, Marcos Uriarte (CFMoto Aspar) leads the FIM JuniorGP with 82 points, seven more than Jesús Rios (MRE TalentKTM). Alessandro Morosi (CFMoto Aspar) is third, 11 points from the lead. With 50 points up for grabs, a total of six riders can overtake the leader in Portimão – a group of riders closed by seventh-placed Eddie O’Shea (British Talent-MLav Racing/Honda). In the Moto2 European Championship, first place is occupied by Mattia Casadei (Team Ciatti Boscoscuro), who participated in the World Championship at the Italian GP during the break. The Italian has an 11-point lead over Roberto García (Fantic Cardoso Racing/Kalex), followed by Jorge Navarro (Klint Forward) who is 14 points behind. Daniel Muñoz (Gas Up Racing Team/Kalex) comes from a double victory in Barcelona and is fourth, 16 points from the top. The European Talent Cup is led by Marco Morelli (MLav Racing) with 90 points – 20 more than Carlos Cano (Seventytwo Motorsports Artbox). In what is the least balanced championship, Giulio Pugliese (CFMoto Aspar) and Valentín Perrone (Frando Racing VHC) follow, both 33 points behind the leader.
In the European Stock Championship, Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Yamaha GV Racing) leads the standings with 61 points, against 41 points for his teammate Mario Mayor who is second. Iker García, also of Yamaha GV Racing, is third, 29 points behind the championship leader.
