The largely Spanish-based FIM CEV Repsol International Championship will see the Moto3 category awarded Junior World Championship status as of the 2015 season.

Commencing with rounds in Portugal and France, the rebranded series will become the FIM CEV Repsol Moto3 Junior World Championship.

Also, by agreement with FIM Europe, the Moto2 and Superbike categories will become part of the European championship.

“I am very happy that we have reached an agreement with Dorna that FIM CEV Repsol will feature two European championship classes as of 2015”, says FIM Europe president Wolfgang Srb.

With this new arrangement, the FIM CEV Repsol will help to break down national barriers even further and constitute a quantum leap in the search for young riders of any nationality who are ready to make their mark in road racing at international level.
