From his first test rides to the Mini GP World Series—the impressive career of young Swiss motorcycle racer Alessio Arnold.
Achievements at the national level
Alessio made a name for himself in the Swiss motorcycle racing scene at an early age. In 2016, he finished 7th in the Supermoto category of the Swiss Championship in the 50cc Kids class. This was just the beginning of his impressive track record:
• 2017: 4th place – Super-Moto / Swiss Championship – Kids / 50 ccm
• 2018: 3rd place – Super-Moto / Swiss Championship – Kids / 50 ccm
• 2019: 1st place – Supermoto / Swiss Championship – Kids / 65 cc
These achievements are a testament not only to Alessio's driving skills, but also to his continuous development and his pursuit of excellence.
International Recognition
His international breakthrough came in 2020, when Alessio finished fourth in the Mini GP class of the CNV Northern Italy Championship in the 110 ccm 4-speed category. This success laid the foundation for further achievements in his career.
• 2020: 4th place – Mini GP / CNV Northern Italian Championship – Mini GP / 110 cc 4-speed
• 2021: 1st place – Mini GP / CNV Northern Italian Championship – Mini GP Junior / 160 cc
Alessio's exceptional performances in 2021 highlight not only his adaptability to different categories but also his ability to compete successfully in higher displacement classes.
Challenges and Progress
The year 2022 brought new challenges as Alessio competed in the CIV Italian Championship for the first time. Despite a respectable 14th-place finish in the Mini GP – CIV Junior / 160 ccm class, this competition showed that the path to the top can also be marked by setbacks. However, Alessio demonstrated his determination to learn from every experience and to continuously improve.
Setback in the Mini GP World Series
The year 2023 began with a setback for Alessio Arnold. In Race 1 of the Mini GP World Series in the CIV Junior class (190 cc), an accident occurred that knocked him out of the race. Motorsports isn’t just about triumph; it also requires the ability to bounce back from setbacks.
