Filip Salac extends Elf Marc VDS Racing Team deal for 2025
The Elf Marc VDS Racing Team is delighted to confirm its rider line-up for the 2025 Moto2 World Championship, with Filip Salac to partner Jake Dixon.
Salac joined the Elf Marc VDS Racing Team for the 2024 campaign, but a series of injuries have prevented him from performing at his best level.
The Czech star’s positive attitude and commitment to succeed is finally reaping rewards and after a first top 10 of the season in Austria recently, Salac rode to a superb season best seventh place in San Marino earlier this month.
The 22-year-old is now determined to continue his recent impressive upturn in form to move closer to the podium fight in the final seven rounds of 2024.

“The team believing in me gives me a lot of confidence”
“Firstly, I want to say a huge thanks to the Elf Marc VDS Racing Team and in particular Marc for giving me this opportunity to remain with this fantastic project in 2025. This year hasn’t turned out so far to be like any of us wanted and expected through a combination of some bad luck and some injuries. It has been a very tough time for me but I’m extremely thankful for all the support the team has given me. They still believe in me, and this has given me a lot of confidence, which has shown in the last three races.
As my confidence has grown then the results have been strong as well and I am now looking forward to a positive finish to the season as we build into 2025. Once again, thanks to Marc for trusting in me and I hope to be fighting at the front from the first race next season when we make the switch to the Boscoscuro chassis.”

“We have confidence he will deliver the results we all want”
“It is true that results this season are far from what we wanted and what we know Filip can achieve. It has been a difficult season of adaptation aggravated by injuries. But I am convinced that Filip can make a comeback with the necessary support, and we will give it to him. We are looking forward to seeing him show his grit so he can fight for the top positions. We have confidence in him and I’m sure he’ll give his all to deliver the results we all want.”
