The all-new WINDTRE Rising Stars Series is gearing up for the Regional Finals that will determine who wins the prize at the end of this year. Each Regional Final race will take place in October (the Americas final race is on 7th October, Asia and Oceania on 14th October and Europe and Africa on 21st October). The Italian, who scored a maximum 100 points from a possible 100 in the Online Challenges, is the replacement rider for the team in this year’s Global Series, so has intimate knowledge of the Yamaha M1’s behaviour. Both scored well in the Online Challenges (95 points and 90 respectively) and also are their teams’ replacement riders for the Global Series. Italian Riky scored 90 points and has been chosen to represent Red Bull KTM Tech 3. As a result, he has earned a place with Repsol Honda Team.
