Kove Moto Targets MXGP with Long-Term Factory Programme.
Kove Moto is preparing a serious, long-term programme aimed at the MXGP World Championship, with a structured entry beginning in 2027.
The announcement builds on a wider momentum in the Grand Prix paddock, as ambitious manufacturers step up to challenge the established order. For Kove, it also underlines a broader motorsport commitment spanning last years British Superbikes (BSB), Supermoto, World Superbikes (WSBK), and the Dakar Rally—proving performance and reliability from high-speed circuits to the harshest endurance events on the planet.
Development of the new Kove MX programme is already well underway, with initial testing scheduled to begin this weekend. The programme will focus on intensive refinement ahead of competition, combining Kove’s engineering capability with the race-proven expertise of the Kove Factory Racing team.
Clear pathway to the top
• 2026: Testing and development of the Kove 250R
• 2027: Two-rider campaign in the EMX250 European Championship
• 2028 (subject to results): Step up to the MX2 World Championship, with a longer-term route into MXGP

Young British Star Blake Wilson Joins Kove Factory Racing for 2026 British Supermoto Championship!

14-year-old rising star Blake Wilson has officially signed with Kove Factory Racing UK to compete in the full 2026 British Supermoto Championship on the Kove 450. He will also race in the R&G Moto4 British Cup, marking a major step up in his already impressive young career.

From Mini-Bikes to Factory Supermoto – Blake’s Rapid Rise

Blake first jumped on a mini-motorbike at just 6 years old and has been competing at national level ever since. His standout achievements include:

  • 2024 UK Ohvale 190 Champion (1st overall)
  • 10th overall at the 2024 Ohvale World Finals in Valencia
  • Multiple podiums and strong results in Supermoto
  • Consistent top finishes in FAB Racing, Metrakit Mini GP, Cuna de Campeones (Spain), and Mini GP UK events

What makes Blake special is his maturity, work ethic, and pure speed. At an age when most kids are still learning the ropes, he’s already attracting factory attention and racing at a high level.

PCR Performance & Paul Curran’s 450 Engine Expertise

Backing Blake is the technical expertise of PCR Performance in Cannock, led by former racer and British Superbike team principal Paul Curran. Paul has a strong racing background himself in British Supersport and National Superstock 1000, and today he runs one of the UK’s top race-bike building factories producing multiple BSB winning machines.

PCR specialises in high-performance 450cc engines — including full rebuilds, dyno development, ECU mapping, and race-ready upgrades.Having put these bikes through the toughest race in the world the Dakar, the team knows a thing or two when it comes to preparing these bikes for a series as competitve as this one.  As the official technical partner for Kove Factory Racing UK, they ensure Blake’s Kove 450 is fast, reliable, and ready to fight at the front from round one.

A Family Passion Driving the Dream

Blake’s journey is a true family effort. His dad, Leon Wilson, has been right there from day one — acting as trainer, mechanic, manager, and biggest supporter. Leon formed BW Racing (Team MotoBlake) to give Blake the best possible platform, and the whole family lives and breathes the sport. From early track mornings to late-night bike prep, that unbreakable family support has been the foundation of Blake’s rapid progress.

Building a Bright Career

Signing with Kove Factory Racing at 14 is a huge milestone. It gives Blake factory-supported machinery, professional development, and real visibility on the British racing scene. With PCR’s engine know-how behind him, he’s perfectly placed to challenge for podiums and titles while gaining the experience needed for even bigger steps ahead — whether that’s the British Talent Cup, Supersport, or beyond.

British motorcycle racing has a proud history of producing world-class riders, and Blake Wilson is the latest young talent to watch.
