Looking ahead to 2027, Maxximus has set his sights on the next major step in his racing career: competing in the Moto2 Junior World Championship. The championship would provide the opportunity to compete at a higher international level, gain valuable experience and continue his progression towards the top of motorcycle racing.

Making this step possible requires strong partnerships and the support of sponsors who want to be part of the journey.
