15-year-old Can Öncü arrives in the MotoGP™ paddock with two distinctions: he's the reigning Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup Champion, and he's also the youngest ever Grand Prix winner. How? The young Turk made his first wildcard appearance in the Moto3™ World Championship in the season finale in 2018, making history as he took both the win and the record of the youngest GP winner. So he arrives with some serious pedigree and that includes roots in the Asia Talent Cup, where Öncü was a multiple race winner and came third overall in 2017. Two years later he'll be competing full time in Moto3™ with Red Bull KTM Ajo, the same team with whom he made his debut in Valencia.
