Venum Bud Racing Kawasaki is delighted to announce the signing of the young Italian talent Nicolo Alvisi on a multi-year deal, as the team continues its commitment to developing the next generation of motocross stars.
The arrival of Alvisi is a natural fit for a team that has established itself as one of the leading structures in the European motocross paddock. With two EMX250 European Championship titles in the past three years, Bud Racing has proven its ability to identify, develop and guide young riders to the very top of the sport.
Mathis Valin claimed the EMX250 title in 2024 before Francisco Garcia brought the crown back to the team in 2026. Garcia’s remarkable championship-winning campaign included 17 race victories from 22 races contested, underlining the team’s competitiveness and ability to deliver results at the highest level of European motocross.
Now, Nicolo Alvisi is ready to become the next rider to benefit from that experience.
A proven champion with huge potential
Alvisi has already built an impressive record despite his young age. The Italian first established himself as a leading European prospect by winning the 85cc European Championship in 2023, before taking another major step forward by becoming EMX125 European Champion in 2025.
His success in the 125cc category confirmed his status as one of the most promising young riders in the sport. In 2026, he moved up to the EMX250 class, taking on the challenge of competing against more experienced riders in one of the most demanding championships on the European calendar.
Joining Venum Bud Racing Kawasaki represents the next logical step in his career: a move to a proven championship-winning structure with the experience, technical expertise and ambition to support his progression towards the highest level of motocross.
The next chapter
With its long-standing relationship with Kawasaki and its track record of developing young talent, Bud Racing has consistently provided a platform for riders to progress through the ranks and establish themselves among Europe’s elite.
Alvisi’s signing reflects the team’s continued ambition to invest in promising young riders and build for the future. Both parties share the same objective: to continue progressing, fighting at the front and challenging for major titles.
