Mini bikes are the soil that's kept producing top riders since my own generation. It's the place where you hammer delicate fingertip control into your body while you're still small. It's the right call for FIM to solicit bids for a supplier and organize a proper development series. Talent doesn't just spring up on its own, you need a vessel to grow it.

Has Ohvale been the de facto standard for mini bikes up until now?

Right, it's the brand that's been used for years in things like Repsol's Mini Road series.

I want to see riders like Marquez come out of a development pipeline like this.

First time hearing the name MotoMini World Series—so it's a new series.

Wouldn't be surprised if KTM or Honda ended up bidding too.

For an exclusive-supply bid, I feel like a major manufacturer is bound to win it in the end.

Sounds like manufacturers are maneuvering behind the scenes over who gets the exclusive supply deal.

The possibility of the relationship with Ohvale changing is the part that interests me most.
