This prestigious event that runs from the 7^th -9^th October serves as a gateway for the world’s most promising young riders to showcase their riding skills on an international stage. With only a select group of riders from around the globe being invited, the opportunity highlights both Benn and Grobler’s exceptional talent, dedication, and potential to compete at the highest levels of the sport.

Both riders race under the Brights Motorsport banner and Team Principal Sparky Bright had the following to say. “Being invited to the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup Selection Event is a huge milestone for both Craig on his first visit and Dylan who returns for the second time after impressing in 2024. It’s recognition of their hard work, talent, and determination. Competing against the best young riders from around the world will be an invaluable experience, and we’re confident they’ll do us proud. The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup has launched the careers of many MotoGP stars, making this an extraordinary opportunity for Benn and Grobler to take the next step toward professional racing on the world stage.”

The two young riders will be accompanied by team Manager Daniel Bright as well as Algoa Motorsport Club Motorcycle Representative Duane Grobler. Bright had the following to say. “Brights Motorsport extends its gratitude to the team’s partner Fuchs Lubricants, fellow sponsors, supporters, and the local motorsport community for helping nurture our young talent and making moments like this possible. Craig Benn, who has consistently impressed with his pace and dominance in the Junior classes, and Dylan Grobler, a former championship winner is making waves with his strong comebacks and consistent performances, will no doubt both represent South Africa in Spain with pride.”
