Can Öncü

Career

Early career Can and his twin brother, Deniz, competed in the Asia Talent Cup in 2016 (Can 9th, Deniz 10th) and 2017 (Can 3rd, Deniz 1st). Both entered the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup in 2017 (Can 3rd, Deniz 4th) and Can became the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup champion in 2018, while Deniz finished in second place.

For 2018, as well as competing in the Rookies Cup, both Can and Deniz joined Ajo Motorsport and also raced in the FIM CEV Moto3 Junior World Championship. Later that year, Can became the first rider to win on his Grand Prix debut since Noboru Ueda in 1991. He also broke the record, held for ten years by previous youngest Grand Prix race winner Scott Redding, at age 15 years, 115 days at the Valencian GP, when he was entered as a wildcard rider. Öncü benefited from a 2018 change to the FIM regulations, that added the current Red Bull Rookies Cup Champion to an exemption already given to the FIM Junior World Championship winner allowing them to compete in Moto3, a series normally requiring an adult licence, at a minimum age of 15 years rather than the usual 16 years.

Moto3 World Championship For 2019, Öncü made his full-season debut with Red Bull KTM Ajo. Despite his early promise shown as Red Bull Rookies champion and winning on his debut wildcard entry, Öncü struggled in the class, scoring only three points finishes from 16 contested races and finishing with eight points in 31st position of the riders' championship. Öncü was dropped from the Ajo team at the end of the season.

Supersport World Championship For 2020, Öncü joined the Turkish Racing Team with Kawasaki in the Supersport World Championship. He achieved regular points finishes to complete the season in 12th place of the championship. He continued with the team for 2021, finishing regularly in the top-ten and taking his first podium at the French round.

CIV Supersport 600 Championship In 2021, Öncü took part in the CIV championship as wildcard entries at Mugello.
