Ruche Moodley Breaks Barriers as First SA Rider of Colour in Moto3 Series

February 17, 2025

• South African teenager Ruche Moodley makes history as the first rider of colour from his country to compete in the Moto3 World Championship, joining BOE Motorsports for the 2025 season after proving himself as a consistent top-10 finisher in the Red Bull Rookies Cup with a podium at Le Mans.
• BOE Motorsports brings serious pedigree to Moodley’s development, having previously worked with breakthrough riders including Ana Carrasco, who blazed the trail as the first female competitor in the series, plus Joel Kelso and David Muñoz, showing their commitment to nurturing diverse talent.
• The 22-race season starting March 2 in Thailand positions Moodley alongside the Binder brothers to create an all-South African presence across MotoGP categories, with team owner Jose Angel Gutierrez Boe expressing confidence after early testing at Portimao that results could come quickly for their promising new project.
