MCN YOUNG RIDER OF THE YEAR 2025
GR’s HARD WORK REWARDED AGAIN
GR Motosport’s WorldWCR Starlet Chloe Jones Awarded MCN Young Rider of the Year 2025.
Sheffield based GR Motosport is proud to announce that Chloe Jones, rising star of the WorldWCR Championship, has been named Motorcycle News (MCN) Young Rider of the Year 2025 — an incredible achievement that highlights not only Chloe’s talent and commitment but also the ongoing success of GR Motosport’s dedication to nurturing young British talent.
This prestigious recognition comes 26 years after the legendary Karl Harris claimed the same award while riding for GR Motosport in the team’s iconic orange and black livery, the same year he secured the 1999 FIM European Superstock 1000 Championship.
Chloe’s award is not only a testament to her determination, growth, and racing prowess — but also to the ethos that GR Motosport continues to uphold: spotting, supporting, and developing the next generation of British motorcycle racing stars.
Team Principal Brent Gladwin commented:
“This award is fantastic recognition for Chloe, but it’s also a reward for our ethos and our investment in young British Talent riders, and all the hard work put in by everyone involved here at GR Motosport. The dedication shown this year — especially by Danny Wright — has been instrumental in making this success possible. I am incredibly proud of who we are and what we continue to achieve, year after year.
“Behind Chloe and her achievements stands my passionate and skilled team – Danny Wright, Rob ‘DK’ Priday, Gary Elsworth, and Clare Madin — whose tireless efforts are the backbone of GR Motosport’s current success. Over the years our development programs have been supported by some fantastic companies, The STAUFF academy investment for a third of our 30 years was testament to our continued plans.
“With 3 podiums in the last four races proving our current level of performance and four races to go – We are now chasing a top 3 finish in our inaugural WorldWCR Championship season.
