The International German Motorcycle Championship will hold its next races in Most, Czech Republic, in a week and a half. At the third round of the IDM season, Spaniard Iñigo Iglesias will be racing for a different team for the third time. He is now set to remain permanently with Wematik Racing by RT Motorsports in the Sportbike class.
Iglesias has been through some turbulent times. He parted ways with the Supersport team after the season opener in Oschersleben. He then scored a one-two finish as a substitute rider in the new Sportbike class at the Schleizer Dreieck. The 23-year-old Spaniard was torn. His team manager, Rob Vennegoor, now wants to put the matter to rest. Under his leadership, the Dutchman is bringing the Wematik Racing by RT Motorsports team to the starting grid. The partnership with sponsor Wematik, which has been on board from the very beginning, forms the foundation for Vennegoor’s new adventure. The team is relying on a Triumph Daytona 660 professionally prepared by PHR Performance. Behind the project is 14-time TT winner Peter Hickman.
Iñigo Iglesias is taking on this challenge with the clear goal of moving up to the new WorldSBK Sportbike class in 2026, which will replace the World 300 Supersport . Since the IDM will already feature the Sportbike class a year earlier, this provides the ideal conditions for preparing for future races in the World Superbike Championship.
Iglesias and Vennegoor have long enjoyed a successful partnership: Together,
they won the 2023 IDM Supersport 300 title. During his successful season, Iglesias missed the podium in only two races. He claimed four wins, four second-place finishes, and three third-place finishes, earned 261 points, and won the championship by a margin of 60 points. He also had numerous successes in the WorldSSP300: three wins and ten podium finishes.
Ahead of the races in Most, the team will hold a test day next Monday at Cadwell Park in England, which is just ten minutes away from “Hicky’s” company.
