In it heartland of the Spanish in the southeastwhere Murcian orchard lands turn intensely green under the sun, something more than fruits and vegetables blooms with energy and speed. The The Region of Murcia, known as the ‘Orchard of Europe’, is flourishing in the world of motorcycling, challenging the traditional supremacy of Catalonia and the Valencian Community. The autonomous community groups itself as the new cradle of Spanish motorcycling. And, in 2025, Murcia’s presence in the World Cup is notable.

But the Murcian talent does not stop: Alvaro LucasMiniGP 190cc champion, Carlos Canowinner of the European Talent Cup, and Juan Francisco RisueñoSpanish Speed Cup champion in SS300, confirm the rise of the regional quarry. And special mention for Ana Carrascowho in 2025 was proclaimed the world champion of the first edition of the WorldWCR. In this generation, Murcia has established itself as a benchmark for motorcycling and a hotbed of future stars.
Pedro Acosta supports future generations
‘Tiburón de Mazarrón’, in a conversation with ‘Mundo Deportivo’, explained that “I think We have two great things in the Region, namely the time and the possibilities of circuit training.. I practice a lot here, because 99% of the days you have sun and you can ride a motorcycle, bike, run… this, added to the biker tradition and the love we have for this wonderful sport, means that so many people from Murcia compete at a high level.”
Pedro Acosta also defended the level schools and coaches of the Region: “In Spain there are many very good ones, but I I will stay where we train almost every day, that of my great friend Adrián Cases (Cases Riders Academy). Adri helps me with my personal training in the morning and, in the afternoon, he has a school with a few children. Many times I stay with them and also give them advice. The truth is that it is amazing”.
One from Mazarrón also said that “until I got to the Red Bull Rookies Cup, I trained with kids from the Region and I met some drivers who are now in the World Championship like David Muñoz, Iván Ortolá, Alex Escrig or Daniel Holgado. In I trained on many circuits. The one with the most, Fortuna, which is also where I’m currently training.”.
Fermín Aldeguer remembers his training group
‘El Galgo’ from La Ñora, who in 2025 will compete in MotoGP with Gresini, lives in Andorra for professional reasons. From afar, he praised the present and future of Murcian motorcycling for ‘MD’: “Acosta, Ana Carrasco, Carpe, Máximo Quiles, Álvaro Lucas… we grew up and trained together since we were little. We also have Ángel Piqueras in Murcia, or Dani Holgado. We had a great training group with a very high level, something that allowed us to get to where we are.”.
In addition, Aldeguer emphasized the keys of the Region of Murcia: “First, the weather. It helps a lot to make you want to ride a motorcycle every day.. We have different facilities. He Circuit of Cartagena It’s a more or less big track and we have it too Fortuna or Yepes circuits. Valencia and Almería are nearbyso you can create a very complete motorcycle training plan. Great drivers keep coming out of Paco Mármol’s school. When I go down to Murcia, from time to time, I run away and train with them. “It reminds me of when I was young.”
Álvaro Carpe, one of the great talents of the present and the future
Alvaro Carpe will debut in 2025 in the Motorcycle World Championship, and will do so after being announced JuniorGP and Red Bull Rookies Cup champion. The Red Bull KTM Ajo de Moto rider recently explained in a conversation with ‘MD’ that “I trained with Pedro Acosta since I was little. I have a strong bond with Fermín Aldeguerwith our families”.
Furthermore, regarding Murcia’s success, he pointed out that “There is no trick. If there is so much about Murcia, it means that there is something in Murcia. We work efficiently and, when things are done right, they are worth it.. There is our generation and the one from behind, who also sweeps.”
“Package, follow my coach. He made me ride a motorcycle for the first time, just to try it out. And until now,” he confessed about the director of Pakosta Riders Factory.
“We will do something right when we concentrate talent”
Paco Mármol, director of the Pakosta Riders Factoryhas been a coach for more than 20 years. Pedro Acosta’s sports father, they parted ways earlier. Currently, he works with pilots such as Fermín Aldeguer, Dani Holgado, Tony Arbolino, Ángel Piqueras, Álvaro Carpe or Carlos Cano. In addition, many riders from the Motorcycle World Championship will also be working with him.
“We all work together, which is very important. Another aspect is desire. When you do things with effort and enthusiasm, the results are usually good. We have a very good vibe, we have a good time and there is a lot of camaraderie. We will be doing something right when the talent is committed to Murcia. We do what we can and everyone contributes himself. The sum of everything, a little bit, manages to do great things, obviously,” said Pakote proudly for ‘MD’.
Regarding his method, the director of Pakosta Riders Factory maintains that “we study the rider, because no two are alike. Each pilot is unique and may not require the same training methods as others.. We don’t just roll, we went inside his head. In addition, we sometimes have pilots on board motorcycles with no brakes or flat tires so they can get used to the sensation and touch of the gas. We rarely work with a stopwatch.”
Mármol, because of this success of the Region, said that “we are satisfied nice facilitywhere the work is done well. They make it easier for us to work as a school and we don’t mix with the fans on the track, which is very important. The circuits respect us and we are very grateful to them. We are usually in the circuits of Yepes, Fortuna, Cartagena and Almería. Climate is another contributing factorso much sunshine in a year invites you to ride a motorcycle.
Ana Carrasco applauded the work of schools and federations
Ann Carrascopioneer in Murcia motorcycling and world champion of the first edition of the WorldWCRis very clear that Murcia’s success is not a coincidence: “Things have been going well for a long time.. Now we have Pedro Costa and Fermín Aldeguer in MotoGP, which are references. We have schools with very good people so that young people have a chance, and “Murcia has also established itself as a point where pilots from outside come to train”he recently pointed out for ‘Mundo Deportivo’.
Furthermore, Cehegín added that “cycling is a sport where we all know that financial support is needed. In this sense, the president did a good job. It not only supports those of us who are in the elite, but also those who are below. In the coming years we will have many Murcians in the World Cup.
The Murcia Federation, committed and ambitious
From Motorcycle Federation of the Region of Murcia (FMRM) They showed their breasts to ‘MD’ with their current lives: “In schools they work hard and the fruits are reaped. We are a uniprovincial autonomous community. On the other hand, Catalonia has the highest number of licenses with four provinces and Andalusia with eight provinces.. Along with Valencia, they are places that tend to get more things and pilots. We are a small region, but it shows that we are working well here”.
From the FMRM they argue that “We have implemented that the General Directorate of Sports of Murcia is involved with high-level pilots, giving them individual different amounts depending on the category in which they compete.. From the Federation we will raise a budget to work with the pilots competing in the Spanish Championship, where their greatest difficulty is. We would like to implement assistance for your tripas well as to the pilots fighting for top ranking position”.
The rise of motorcycling in the Region of Murcia is not the result of chance, but of combined efforts of drivers, coaches, infrastructure and culture rooted in this sport. The presence of young talents in the main categories of the Motorcycle World Championship, together with the work of leaders such as Pedro Acosta and Fermín Aldeguer, shows that Murcia has been a nest of champions. The favorable climate, adequate facilities and an innovative training method have been the key to this growth, allowing more and more pilots from the autonomous community to stand out around the world.
With a ever-growing quarries and established numbers that encourage new generationsMurcia stopped being a promise and became a reality in the motorcycling world. Therefore, Pedro Acosta hopes that the successes achieved by him and his colleagues will be an encouragement for future generations.: “I hope and I hope. In the end, we have and are fighting hard to be where we are and to be a reference, both for the youngest people in the Region and across the Peninsula. It is a real pride.”
Murcia, between spinning wheels and roaring engines, is shown in that world Not only food, but also champions sprouted from its fertile soil.. With every lap and every victory, this region solidifies itself as a nest of heroes on two wheels, showing that in Murcia, in addition to watering their fields, they know how to accelerate at full speed on the track.
