After a successful 2023 Italian CIV Aprilia Sport Production series effort, American Jesse James Shedden will be able to return and compete in the increasing competitive PreMoto3 Championship with Bierreti Racing. He will race a Honda NSF250R new to Italy but seen in many established talent cups such as the European Talent Cup, Asia Talent Cup, and similar international youth series.  

HELENDALE, CA – Jesse James Shedden has returned with the premier Italian Bierreti Racing Team to compete in the CIV Italian Speed Championship onboard a Honda NSF250R.
