01The Story

It started long before
it was a project

Mateo is six. He has been riding for as long as he could ride — on dirt, where you learn to slide, on asphalt, where you learn the line, and in a kart, where you learn to race wheel to wheel.

It did not start on a race track. It started on a dirt lane at the edge of the city — a used YCF pit bike, distinctly too loud for the neighbours, and a five-year-old who refused to get off after the third lap.

Before that there was the pump track. That is where he learned you have to lean into a corner — long before anyone told him there was a word for it. Ever since, every weekend starts with the same question: are we riding today?

In the summer of 2026 the family visited Tavullia, Valentino Rossi's home town. Not to ride — just to see where a path like this can lead. Rossi got his first minibike at six. That is exactly how old Mateo is now.

“When I'm big, I'm going to ride where Rossi rode.”

02The Bike

Ohvale GP-0 110

Spec

110 ccm · 8 PS · 65 kg

Automatic or manual four-speed gearbox, slick tyres. A real race bike scaled to a child.

The point

Everyone rides the same

Because the bike is identical for everyone by regulation, the rider decides the result — not the budget. Whoever is quick here is genuinely quick.

Aside

It fits through any door

1.2 m long, 65 kg. It stands in a lobby, on a trade-fair stand, in a workshop — and fourteen-year-olds stop in front of it.

03The Path

Ten years,
five steps

The first three steps run under the Austrian federation AMF, the last two under KTM and Red Bull. In 2026, two former champions of this series made it into the Red Bull Rookies Cup for the first time. This path is not an idea — it is published.

04Two Flags

The same red,
twice

Austria and Croatia carry the same red in their flags — Pantone 186 C. The red-and-white check is both the Croatian chequerboard and the chequered flag. It isn't a marketing idea. It simply fits.

Seven Austrians entered the 2026 Ohvale Austria Rookies Challenge — from Graz, Frohnleiten, Unzmarkt, St. Wolfgang, Natters, Treffen and Wiener Neustadt. Nobody from Vienna. And in five years of the series, 2026 was the first time a Croatian rider entered at all.

Every step,
with a date

From the first race in 2028, results will appear here too. Until then: every riding day, every decision. In ten years this will be the story.

Jozic Sports association being founded

The non-profit association is being registered — it unlocks public funding, sports insurance and, from 2028, tax-deductible donations.

Race eligibility confirmed: 30 October 2027

The class opens at the completed age of eight. 2028 is therefore the first full season, with eligibility through 2031.

Tavullia

A summer in Rossi's home town: the Yellow Park and the roads where it all began. No riding there — but a look at where a path like this can lead.

06Partners

The wall is
still empty

One company per industry. Whoever joins now is on the first bike, in the first set of photos and in the first result sheet — and that is something nobody can buy later.

This is the motorsport programme: branding areas on the bike, the leathers and the van, race weekends, imagery. Anyone who would rather support the youth work as a whole than book a branding area will find that at the association — where both athletes and the open training day come together.
