Launch of Women's European Cup in 2015-

Gerry Bryce, European Junior Cup director:


''We are very pleased to announce this new initiative to encourage young women in motorcycle racing. We have over the past years had several talented female racers compete in the European Junior Cup and now can provide new riders with the incentive of a unique women's championship whilst still competing on equal terms with the young men. The age increase for male riders follows the recent changes to other support classes with the FIM Superbike World Championship and is a positive move to allow more young racers the opportunity to compete and develop their skills at an international level. Together with the launch of the new Honda CBR 650F EJC control bike these changes will provide a fantastic racing experience for talented young men and women in 2015.''
