The new Wunderkind? Marcel Schrötter Superstar

Forget Stefan Bradl and Jonas Folger. If the hype in German media is to believed, then this guy is the real deal: Marcel Schrötter, 16 years old, from Bavaria (but don't hold that against him).
Dominating the German International Championship, winning the 125cc title last year and this year - with winning every (!) race by the way - and also adding the European 125cc title to his impressive trophy case a few weeks ago, this kid surprised a lot of people with qualifying on front row at Sachsenring and 7th at the Valencian GP, finishing 5th after a hot battle for the podium in the early stages. Did we mention that he did all that as a wildcard? On a Honda?
So, the course is set for this young Hottie to also become hot property in MotoGP next year. We shall wait and see.

Introducing: Eric Hübsch

19-year-old Eric Hübsch from Liechtenstein is a known face in the International German Championship for quite a few years now and appeared as a wildcard at a few German GPs.
His last name Hübsch means "pretty" or "beautiful" in English. And rarely has there been a last name more fitting for his owner.

Introducing: Vladimir Leonov

The 250cc class will see a new face this season and a new nation as well. Vladimir Leonov is the first Russian to ever ride in the MotoGP championship, joining the ranks of the German Kiefer Racing Team. The 21-year-old from Donetsk near the Ukrainian border competed in the International German Championship for the last two years on Supersport machinery and will make his debut on the 250cc bikes with an Aprilia.
Obviously the championship is now not only another nation, but also another Hottie richer.
