On the Road to MotoGP – The Journey of a Young Talent

Daniel in racing mode!

Born on January 8, 2008, Daniel Krabacher has already made a name for himself in the world of motorsport. On his journey to his dream of racing in MotoGP, he shows us what passion, discipline, and a dash of energy can achieve!

The beginnings on two wheels

Daniel was born into a motorsports-loving family. He regularly visited racetracks with his parents, Marion and Charly. The MotoGP riders he admired as a child inspired him—and so his journey with trial bikes began. He quickly realized that it wasn't just about speed, but also about technique and a feel for the bike.

“Everyone starts small ,” says Daniel

The big step into racing

At the age of 12, the turning point in his life came: his first time on a racetrack – an unforgettable experience! The founding of the Austrian Junior Cup the following year was the opportunity of a lifetime for Daniel. The transition from trials to racing was challenging, but with hard work and a relentless desire to improve, he managed to fight for the podium in his second year. The championship title in his third year was the pride of his young life and a springboard to the next challenge: the Yamaha R3 bLU cRU World Cup!

The road to the dream – MotoGP

The Yamaha R3 bLU cRU World Cup isn't just another competition. It's where the elite of young racers from all over the world meet. The competition is fierce and the field is tight – everyone is fighting for every position. But Daniel not only brings the right tools, but also incredible mental strength. With the support of his mental coach, Michael Deutschmann, he's preparing optimally for his racing season, both physically and mentally.

An athlete with goals

Daniel describes himself as a rather quiet but determined person. He knows what he wants and works hard to make his dreams come true. This season, he not only wants to learn a lot, but also achieve a podium finish. A move up to Moto2 or the Superbike World Championship ( WSBK) would be the crowning achievement for him – and we're convinced he can do it!

Tips for aspiring racing drivers

"It's not easy, but you should never give up. You have to learn from every defeat and every mistake," says Daniel. "Everyone starts small." These words should be remembered by everyone who dreams of success in motorsport.
