Official: Alve Callemo set for MX2 GP opportunity with Young Motion powered by Resa

Young Motion powered by Resa, a Dutch MX2 Grand Prix team, has announced that Swedish rider Alve Callemo will join their MX2 line-up for the upcoming French and German rounds. Callemo, 17, has made a strong impression in his debut EMX250 season and will step up as a replacement rider due to injuries within the team. With Sandro Sools and Martin Michelis sidelined, Alessandro Gaspari has been the sole representative for the team at the opening round, but Callemo’s addition alongside Sools’ return will allow Young Motion to field three riders in France. Callemo’s promotion to the MX2 GP comes after a promising start in the EMX250 class, where he has quickly adapted following his move up from the 125cc category. Team owner Ron aan de Stegge highlighted that Callemo embodies the team’s focus on nurturing young, fast talent progressing through the ranks. The team believes that this early exposure to MX2 Grand Prix racing will be crucial for Callemo’s development, complementing the experience of established riders Sools and Gaspari. The Swedish rider expressed enthusiasm about his upcoming debut, noting that discussions with the team began during the winter but he chose to gain more experience in EMX250 first. Callemo sees this opportunity as an important step in his career, providing valuable experience at a young age and helping him transition smoothly into the higher level of competition. His family and manager, Tim Edberg, have been involved in the decision-making process, underscoring the careful planning behind this move. Looking ahead, Michelis remains in recovery and is expected to rejoin the team once fit, which will further strengthen Young Motion’s MX2 roster. Callemo’s involvement signals the team’s commitment to developing young riders and maintaining a competitive presence in the MX2 World Championship despite injury setbacks. This strategic approach could prove vital in sustaining the team’s momentum throughout the season.
