Having won the 2017 MiniGP50 CIV Italy Championship, Collin Veijer spent another couple of years racing in Italy’s CIV Championship before being selected for the Red Bull MotoGP™ Rookies Cup in 2020. Veijer finished 10th overall in his debut campaign, as a solid season in JuniorGP™ followed in 2021 alongside his Rookies Cup duties. 2022 is when Veijer really made a step up though. A title race with Rueda in the Rookies Cup went to the final round in Valencia, with Veijer just falling short, while in JuniorGP™, two wins and a sixth place finish overall caught the attentions of World Championship personnel. In 2023, Collin Veijer made his debut in the Moto3™ World Championship with Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP, marking a successful entry into the elite ranks. Following an initial adaptation phase, the #95 rider showcased his talent in the latter part of the season, clinching two podium finishes and notably securing his first Grand Prix victory in Malaysia. Collin Veijer finished the 2023 World Championship in seventh place, establishing himself as one of the riders to watch in 2024.
