Stefano BIANCO

__ 27
Place of birth: Chivasso
Date of birth: 27/Oct/1985
 
 

Stefano Bianco became the youngest ever rider to compete in a Grand Prix event when he entered the 125 race at Phillip Island in 2000, celebrating his 15th birthday and making the minimum age limit on the first day of qualifying. This fledgling rider, known to the Italian press as ''baby centauro'', comes from a family of motorcycle fanatics and launched his racing career with third place in the European minibikes series in 1998. In 2000 he contested the Aprilia Challenge alongside his brother, taking three podium finishes from six races and making the step up to 125 with that famous aforementioned World Championship debut in Australia. In 2002 he participated in his first full season in the class alongside Italian compatriot Max Sabbatani, and finished a respectable 19th overall. In the following years lack of form and injuries, such as those suffered in a serious accident during a test in Jerez in 2005, have hindered Bianco, so he will hope for better times on board his new Aprilia RS125 with WTR, alongside fellow Italian Andrea Iannone, in 2007.
