Guido Pini

Guido Pini (born 10 January 2008) is an Italian Grand Prix motorcycle racer who competes in the 2025 Moto3 World Championship for Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP. He won the 2022 European Talent Cup season at the age of 15.

He is represented by SeventyTwo Motorsports.[1]

Career

Early career

Pini joined the European Talent Cup for the 2021 season at the age of 13 and scored points regularly in the second half of the year.

He remained in the same category for 2022 and won the title in only his second full season, aged 15.

In 2023, he was selected to compete in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup series, where he achieved two podium finishes. He also participated in his third European Talent Cup season, finishing as runner-up.[2]

Pini signed a contract to participate in the 2024 JuniorGP on board a KTM, and was also given a second year in the Red Bull Rookies Cup. However, during pre-season testing, he suffered a left elbow fracture, just after he had recovered from a right-handed scaphoid and radius fracture, which made him sit out of the first few rounds of both categories.[3] Eventually, Pini recovered and was able to achieve several podiums and wins in the JuniorGP, and ended the season as championship runner-up, despite missing nearly half of the races.[4]

Moto3 World Championship

Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP (2025)

On 13 December 2024, Intact GP announced that Pini would complete their 2025 rider line-up, alongside David Muñoz.[5][6]

During pre-season training, Pini suffered a crash that resulted in fractures to both legs, two months prior to the season opener.[7] He recovered in time and was fit to compete in the opening round. Pini started the season with two consecutive retirements in the Thailand and Argentina rounds, but went on to finish in the points in the following three races, including a seventh place in Jerez.[8]
