Nicolò “Nico” Montenero (Rimini in 2010)
He entered competitive racing in 2020, starting in the UISP Minimoto Championship (Junior B category).
In 2021, he competed in the CIV Minimoto (Junior C) and the Marco Simoncelli Trophy, beginning to establish his presence in national competitions.
In 2022, he moved up to the Ohvale 160 class, followed by the Ohvale 190 in 2023. The 2023 season, which started with strong potential, was heavily impacted by a serious crash at the Latina circuit. The accident resulted in seven vertebral fractures and forced him out for three months. Despite returning to racing, his results were understandably affected.
In 2024, he stepped up to the Aprilia 250 SP2 category, finishing 3rd overall in the CIV Junior Championship, including race wins.
In 2025, he debuted in the Aprilia RS 457, securing one victory and multiple podium finishes, earning the titles of Vice Champion Overall and Vice Champion Junior.
Also in 2025, he dominated the MES Moto4 Championship, winning every race, taking all pole positions, and setting every fastest lap of the season.
Next step: 2026 – Aprilia RS 660.
