Summary:
Kristian Daniel Jr is a 12 year old American, living and racing motorcycles in Europe full time, with the goal of making it to MotoGP. Over the past 4 years, he has worked tirelessly racing in top level Spanish championships with proven success of creating MotoGP riders and in 2021 he stepped up to the Junior World Championship in the European Talent Cup class. He'll continue down this path, until he is old enough to compete in the MotoGP World Championship.
Challenge:
In 2021 he was the only American and the youngest rider in the European Talent Cup championship, making it for an extremely challenging rookie season. His best finish being 28 out of 50 riders. The goal for 2022 is to improve his results, aiming for podium finishes which will give him a good shot at being selected for the Red Bull Rookies Cup.
Solution:
How will KDJR make it to the podium? The plan is to continue with the team he raced with in 2021 (AGR Team), building off of the experience he gained but also training in a more intense training program with professional coaches. Training will consist of asphalt training at big and small tracks, motocross, cycling, flat track, and trials. By training in a more comprehensive program, he will be physically and mentally prepared for anything the season has to throw at him.
Use of Funds:
While the budget for the season is much higher, the €20,000 fund will help KDJR cover part of the racing expenses, training expenses and part of the travel expenses. KDJR and family are working 150% to make his dream become reality, and this support will help get one step closer.
