During the MotoGP™ event at the Red Bull Ring, ADAC Sports President Hermann Tomczyk and Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta agreed on even closer joint promotion of juniors. The European Talent Cup, organised by Dorna, and the Standard class of the ADAC Northern Europe Cup, will be staged according to the same regulations by 2019 at the latest. A promotion to higher classes will also become standard across the series, meaning that it will not matter to junior riders whether they line up in the ADAC Northern Europe Cup or in one of the Dorna Talent Cups – the same conditions will apply in both series. Furthermore, travel costs for North European participants will decrease, as it will be relatively unimportant in the future in which of the series the young talents compete – they will participate in the cup closest to their home.
