LIVE THE SPEED. FEEL THE THRILL. ENTER THE WORLD OF MOTO3.
LEVELUP mta was born from the fusion of passion, experience, and innovation, with a clear mission: to nurture young talents and create strategic opportunities for our partners — all in pursuit of a shared dream.
With a constant focus on emerging technologies and market trends, we dive into a world where speed, competition, and excellence converge, turning ambition into tangible results.
On Saturday, May 30th, 2026, within the iconic setting of the Mugello Circuit, LEVELUP mta will have the pleasure of welcoming Ludmilla Voronkina Bozzetti to its hospitality area.
A top model and muse for major international projects, as well as the face of campaigns and exhibitions dedicated to Made in Italy, Ludmilla embodies a perfect blend of elegance, character, and passion — values that have always been part of the LEVELUP mta team’s DNA.
LEVELUP mta officially presented the 2026 sporting season in the prestigious setting of the Franciacorta Golf Club, in the presence of partners, sponsors, media, fans, and long-time friends of the team, kicking off a new chapter of its journey in the Moto3 World Championship.
An event that showcased the LEVELUP mta project in its entirety: riders, technical squad, staff, and management. A moment of sharing that confirmed the team’s identity, vision, and ambition, blending continuity and renewal. During the presentation, the new livery of the bike was also unveiled, a visible sign of a project that looks to the future with determination. Because in motorsport, every season begins anew, but nothing ever truly starts from zero.
The sporting project of LEVELUP mta is strengthened by a line-up that combines experience and emerging talent. Matteo Bertelle (#18) continues his journey with the team for the 2026 season as well, confirming a mutual trust built over time. Alongside him enters Joel Esteban (#78), a young rider in whom the team places great esteem and expectations in terms of growth and development.
Massimo Zucchi – CEO«The moment of presenting the bike and the team is always a very important step for us. It is the occasion where partners, sponsors, fans, and media gather, and where we can narrate the project in its completeness. The 2026 season will be significant: we are consolidating a rider in whom we strongly believe and continuing to invest in the team’s growth path, while also welcoming a new talent in whom we place great trust.»
Alessandro Tonucci – Team Manager«We come from a season in which we showed good performances with peaks of the highest level, achieving 10 front rows, 4 poles, 5 podiums, and therefore deserving to be in the very top positions for several races, even if, as we remember, injuries unfortunately penalized us; but this has never called into question the value of the work performed. In 2026, we return to the track with great motivation: we believe very much in Matteo, who knows the team well, and in Joel, young but with significant potential. We know that both can make a significant contribution.»
After an intense season, the announcement comes with enthusiasm and confidence in the future. The team had initially planned to field three bikes in the final World Championship rounds in Portimão and Valencia, with Joel Kelso, Matteo Bertelle and Marcos Uriarte on track. However, due to medical issues reported by Uriarte’s staff, the Spanish rider had to end his season early, concluding the year as a wildcard. The team expressed its closeness to Marcos, wishing him a swift recovery and thanking him for his commitment and professionalism throughout the season.
Teamwork, Talent and Ambition
Massimo Zucchi, CEO of LEVELUP Motorsport, stated: “Although this season has been marked by challenging moments, particularly due to Matteo Bertelle’s prolonged absence, the team continued to work with great dedication and professionalism. We are proud to rely on two top-level riders like Bertelle and Esteban. This line-up represents an important step forward in our journey in the World Championship, and we are confident that together we can achieve significant results.”
Goals for the New Season
With the new line-up, LEVELUP-MTA reconfirms its ambition to establish itself among the leading teams in Moto3, focusing on talent, growth and technical continuity. The goal is to become increasingly competitive and consistent at the front, carrying forward the team’s core values of passion, dedication and sporting vision.
The official announcement of Team LevelUp MTA marks the beginning of a journey with a long-term vision. Team spirit, ambition, and adrenaline are ready to hit the track.
