Earlier this month, Czech road racing statistician, aficionado Jan Vavra, attended Czech Republic’s leading two-wheel exhibition show, Motorcycle Prague, finding out golden nuggets of roads scene information.
The info noted down covering various Czech roads alumni, 2025 season plans, is as follows:
* Veronika Hankocyova (Wonder Women Racing Team by Buldoci) will be a TT 2025 entrant with Aprilia RS 660 in the Super Twins category.
* Team-mates to Veronika Hankocyova within the Wonder Women racing squad, for selected Czech/Slovak road races are Kristyna Jakesch and Anna Malinova.
* IRRC Superbike rider Emil Krchnavy (ZD Motorsport) will be the first Slovakian participant ever at the Briggs Equipment Northwest 200.
* Alongside the TT, Tandragee 100, Manx Grand Prix, both Horice meetings are pencilled into the 2025 itinerary schedule for Indi Racing Team’s, Michal ‘Indi’ Dokoupil.
* Winner of last year’s 300 Curves of Gustav Havel Supermono race, as a newcomer, also fourth, fifth from IRRC Schleiz Supersport races as an event wildcard, Finn ‘Crazy Chicken’ Chapman is set to make his Manx Grand Prix debut this year, competing for Team Antec.
* Five-time IRRC Supersport Champion Marek Cerveny (WRP Wepol Racing) will pilot the same bikes this year as he rode in 2024 – Triumph Street Triple 765 RS (Supersport) and Aprilia RS 660 (Super Twins).
* Lightweight class specialist Patrik Kolar is ready to fight for another 300 Curves of Gustav Havel victory (now holds the record with 13 wins at this event).
* After his IRRC debut last year Jakub Sprojcar (TTRace Factory Racing) is an announced IRRC Superbike Championship rider again.
* Just like last year, quickest Czech TT rider in history Kamil Holan (Hefty 74) isn’t likely to feature at all IRRC events but is Horice bound.
* Fourth in the 2024 IRRC Supersport Championship standings, Petr Najman (Laserscanning Europe by PSB) will ride a Yamaha R6 again in the IRRC Supersport Championship and be Ducati Panigale V2 955 mounted at selected Czech road races.
* Horice race director Tomas Jencovsky presented listed categories for both Horice races:
300 Curves of Gustav Havel – Superbike, Supersport, Super Twins, Supermono, Supersport 400, Supersport 300, GP 125/Moto 3, Sport Production 125, 250 Open and Classic Sidecars.
