PATA European Junior Cup, powered by Honda confirmed for 2014

The PATA European Junior Cup, powered by Honda will again feature at 8 rounds of the eni FIM Superbike World Championship in 2014. Open to 14 to 19 year old racers from around the world and competing on identically prepared Honda CBR 500 R machinery, the EJC has produced some of the closest and most exciting races of the 2013 SBK season. With only the Jerez round remaining, 8 riders still have a mathematical chance of claiming the 2013 championship, with Jake Lewis, Robin Anne and Augusto Fernandez leading the charge and only 5 points separating these top three riders!


Gerry Bryce, Series Director: "We are very pleased to continue working with Dorna SBK, Honda and PATA chips. The EJC has grown in stature year on year and for 2013 we have been privileged to have some of the best young racers from around the world competing. Jerez will be a very exciting conclusion to what has been a great season for us all and will produce a worthy Champion. We look forward now to working with a new class of talented teen racers in 2014."


Daniel Carrera, WSBK Championship Director: "We are delighted to continue offering the possibility to young riders to start their careers with fully production bikes provided by Honda, sharing and living the same paddock as the big stars of the eni FIM Superbike World Championship. They have provided very exciting races during the last seasons and we are confident that we can still grow up together to establish this competition as the initial springboard for our Championship."
