American Racing Team, the globally recognized Moto2 team that has been the third force in the World Championship and a dominant team behind the Kalex brand, has announced a strategic partnership with Team ANDIFER, owned by José Antonio Díaz. ANDIFER is an established team in the JuniorGP Championship.
This collaboration with American Racing will create a robust talent development structure, beginning with participation in the European Moto2 Championship and the European Talent Cup (ETC) in 2025. It is designed to provide a clear and progressive pathway to the MotoGP World Championship for emerging riders, including those from the United States and other countries.

The project will provide young talent from the USA and other countries with the necessary tools to hone their abilities in a competitive, world-class environment. By offering technical expertise and an experienced support team, the initiative aims to develop riders in a structured and systematic manner, ensuring their readiness for future MotoGP competition.
The program will initially focus on the development of riders in the Moto2, ETC categories, with all the technical and human resources necessary to ensure the successful progression of riders to JuniorGP. The combined technical knowledge of American Racing in Moto2 and ANDIFER’s experience in the ETC will be overseen by veteran Team Manager Ricard Jové, supported by a professional staff committed to the success of this exciting project. Two riders will be selected for each category, with further announcements to follow.
