Lukas Tulovic (born 15 June 2000) is a German professional motorcycle racer specializing in Grand Prix and superbike competitions, best known for his victories in the 2022 FIM CEV Moto2 European Championship and the 2025 IDM Superbike Championship.[1][2] Born in Eberbach, Baden-Württemberg, Tulovic developed an early passion for motorsport, beginning his racing career at age seven and achieving his first major success as runner-up in the 2014 ADAC Junior Cup.[1] Tulovic made his international debut in the FIM CEV Repsol Moto2 Championship in 2014, competing through 2018, where he secured his first two podium finishes in the latter year.[3] His World Championship debut came in 2018 with wildcard rides in the Moto2 class at the Spanish, French Grand Prix, and Valencia finale.[3] In 2019, he joined Kiefer Racing for a full Moto2 season, recording his best result of 13th place at the Dutch Grand Prix.[3] Transitioning to electric racing, Tulovic entered the MotoE World Cup in 2020 with Tech 3 E-Racing, achieving a career-best fourth place at the Spanish Grand Prix, and claimed his first victory in the series at the 2021 Austrian Grand Prix.[3] He finished third in the 2021 FIM CEV Moto2 European Championship before dominating the 2022 edition, winning the title with seven victories and six pole positions.[1] Returning to the World Championship in 2023, Tulovic raced in Moto2 with the Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP team, ending the season 24th overall.[1] In 2024, he competed in the MotoE World Championship with Dynavolt Intact GP, finishing 11th individually while contributing to the team's World Championship title alongside teammate Hector Garzo.[1] Shifting to superbikes in 2025, Tulovic rode for Triple M Ducati Frankfurt in the IDM Superbike Championship, securing the overall championship with eight wins.[2] Later that year, he made his WorldSBK debut as a wildcard at the Jerez round on the Ducati Panigale V4R, marking his entry into international superbike racing.[2] Additionally, Tulovic serves as a MotoGP instructor and TV pundit for Sky Deutschland.[1]

Early life and junior career

Background and racing debut

Lukas Tulovic was born on 15 June 2000 in Eberbach, a town in the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany.[4][1] As of 2025, he is 25 years old. Growing up in an area with a vibrant local racing scene, Tulovic developed an early passion for motorsport, showing interest as young as age six or seven.[5][1] He began competing in mini-bike racing at age six, achieving early successes in German and European youth championships.[5] This provided foundational skills and led to structured training on small motorcycles. Tulovic stands at 185 cm tall and weighs 68 kg, attributes that suit the demands of motorcycle racing.[4] He is managed by O1NE Sport GmbH, a Berlin-based agency specializing in athlete representation and career development.[6] In 2014, Tulovic made the transition to competitive junior motorcycle racing by entering the ADAC Junior Cup.[1]

ADAC Junior Cup achievements

Lukas Tulovic made his competitive racing debut in the 2014 ADAC Junior Cup powered by KTM at the age of 13, riding the KTM RC390 for the ADAC Nordbaden e.V./Levior RT Germany team.[7] He secured a victory in the season-opening race at the Lausitzring, leading a tight battle at the front after starting from a strong qualifying position.[7] Throughout the season, Tulovic demonstrated consistent pace, achieving multiple podium finishes and engaging in a close championship fight with Tim Georgi.[8] His efforts culminated in a runner-up overall finish, just behind champion Georgi, marking an impressive start to his junior racing career.[1][9] In 2015, Tulovic made guest appearances in the FIM CEV Repsol Moto2 European Championship, marking his international debut while transitioning from national junior racing.[1] This period solidified his technical progression from national junior machinery to prototype bikes in the FIM CEV Repsol Moto2 European Championship, where he competed from 2015 onward.[4]

Professional racing career

FIM CEV and national series

Tulovic made his full-season debut in the FIM CEV Repsol Moto2 European Championship in 2018 with Team Wimu CNS aboard a Tech 3 motorcycle, marking a significant step up from junior categories. Competing across eight rounds, he demonstrated consistent pace, highlighted by podium finishes in the second race at Estoril, where he placed third behind Jesko Raffin and Augusto Fernández, and another strong performance at Albacete, contributing to his season total of 80 points and an eighth-place championship finish.[10][11][12] The 2020 season brought challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which shortened the FIM CEV Moto2 calendar to eight rounds, but Tulovic adapted well with Kiefer Racing on a Kalex chassis, transitioning effectively to the class's demands after prior smaller-displacement experience. Key highlights included strong qualifying performances and consistent top-five finishes, such as his third-place result at Estoril, culminating in a third-overall championship standing with 46 points despite the disrupted schedule.[13][14][15] In 2021, Tulovic continued in the FIM CEV Moto2 European Championship with the Liqui Moly Intact SIC Racing Team on a Kalex, finishing third in the standings with 135 points, highlighted by multiple podiums including a third-place at Valencia.[16] Tulovic dominated the 2022 FIM CEV Moto2 European Championship with the Liqui Moly Intact GP Junior Team on a Kalex, winning the title with 255 points from seven victories and six pole positions.[17][18] Across his FIM CEV tenure from 2018 to 2022, Tulovic amassed over 50 starts, secured multiple podiums including those in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022, and demonstrated progression through poles and front-row qualifications, laying the groundwork for his entry into the MotoE World Championship in 2021.[3]

MotoE World Championship

Tulovic made his debut in the FIM Enel MotoE World Championship in 2021 with the Tech3 E-Racing team, riding the Energica Ego Corsa electric motorcycle. Transitioning from combustion-powered bikes presented unique challenges, including adapting to instant torque delivery without a gearbox and relying on regenerative braking for energy recovery, which differed markedly from traditional engine braking in classes like Moto2. Despite these hurdles, he secured his maiden MotoE victory in Race 1 at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, leading from pole position to finish 0.839 seconds ahead of Eric Granado. Tulovic ended the season 10th in the riders' standings with 43 points, highlighted by additional podium contention in rounds like Catalunya and Assen.[19][20] In 2022, Tulovic briefly competed in the series' opening round at Jerez with the WithU GRT RNF MotoE Team on the Energica Ego Corsa, finishing 10th in Race 1 for five points before shifting focus to the Moto2 European Championship.[21] After a one-year hiatus in 2023 to contest the Moto2 World Championship, Tulovic returned to MotoE in 2024 with the Dynavolt Intact GP team aboard the Ducati V21L, the series' new spec bike introduced in 2023. The Ducati model offered notable advancements over the Energica, including a lighter chassis at 225 kg (versus 247 kg), higher peak power of 150 kW, and improved aerodynamics for better top speeds exceeding 260 km/h, enhancing overall handling and acceleration. His season featured strong top-10 consistency, including a 4th-place finish in Race 1 at Portimão and multiple top-6 results at circuits like Le Mans and Sachsenring, culminating in 11th overall with 111 points.[22][23][24]

Moto2 World Championship

Tulovic made his Moto2 World Championship debut in 2018 with wildcard appearances, replacing the injured Dominique Aegerter at the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez and the French Grand Prix at Le Mans, before stepping in for Stefano Manzi at the Valencia Grand Prix.[3] In 2019, he joined Kiefer Racing on a KTM chassis for a full season, competing in all 19 rounds and scoring his first World Championship points with a 13th-place finish at the Dutch Grand Prix in Assen, though the year was marked by mechanical retirements and a best overall result of 13th. These early exposures served as preparation for his return to the class as the 2022 FIM CEV Moto2 European Champion. Tulovic contested his first full Moto2 World Championship season in 2023 with the Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP team aboard a Kalex chassis, participating in 18 of 20 rounds and finishing 24th in the riders' standings with 12 points.[25] His campaign began with a retirement due to a crash at the season-opening Qatar Grand Prix, but he showed promise early on with a 15th-place finish at the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez and an 11th at the French Grand Prix in Le Mans. The season's highlight came at the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, where Tulovic qualified for Q2 and delivered his career-best Moto2 result of 10th place, earning 1 point in a race hampered by hot conditions and strong competition from factory teams.[26] He added further points with 12th at the Italian Grand Prix in Mugello and 14th at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, demonstrating improved pace on circuits suited to the Kalex's handling.[27] However, the year was challenging overall, with six retirements, including mechanical failures like a brake issue at the Malaysian Grand Prix and persistent setup problems at Misano that left him struggling for grip and top speed.[28][29] Transitioning from the regional FIM CEV series to the intense, 30-rider Grand Prix grid tested Tulovic's adaptability, as he navigated higher competition levels, variable track conditions, and the Kalex bike's demanding ergonomics after years on different machinery in Europe. Despite the difficulties, including missing rounds in Argentina and Japan due to team logistics, Tulovic's experience laid groundwork for future campaigns before shifting focus back to MotoE in 2024.[3]

IDM Superbike Championship

In 2025, Lukas Tulovic transitioned to the IDM Superbike Championship, competing for the Triple M Racing Ducati Frankfurt team aboard the Ducati Panigale V4R.[30][31] This marked his shift from prototype grand prix machinery to production-derived superbikes, where he quickly adapted to the bike's broader powerband and chassis dynamics, building on his prior international experience.[31] Tulovic delivered a commanding performance throughout the season, securing the overall championship title with 257.5 points after seven rounds.[32] He finished 19.5 points ahead of runner-up Florian Alt (Honda) and well clear of third-placed Hannes Soomer (BMW), who tallied 177.5 points.[32] The title was clinched at the Hockenheim finale, where Tulovic entered with a 41-point lead over Alt and won Race 1 to seal the crown.[33][32] His season highlights included multiple pole positions, such as a lap record-setting effort at Most (1:23.654) and strong qualifying showings at the Nürburgring and Assen, where he stormed to superpole ahead of challengers like Dominique Aegerter.[34][35][36] Key victories featured Race 1 at Hockenheim and a repeat win in Race 2 at the Nürburgring, amid fierce on-track duels with Alt and Soomer that kept the championship fight alive until the penultimate round.[32][37] Complementing his IDM campaign, Tulovic earned wildcards for the season finale of the Superbike World Championship at Jerez, making three starts on the same Ducati setup.[31] He classified 17th in Race 1 and 16th in the Superpole race but crashed early in Race 2, ending the weekend without points and 30th in the overall standings.[38][39][40]

Grand Prix results

Lukas Tulovic debuted in Grand Prix racing with wildcard entries in the Moto2 World Championship in 2018 and a full season in 2019, though his results were limited due to the developmental nature of those appearances on KTM machinery.[3] His breakthrough came in the 2021 MotoE World Cup with Tech 3 E-Racing, where he scored his maiden Grand Prix victory at the Red Bull Ring in Round 5, starting from second on the grid and dominating the race to finish 0.839 seconds ahead of Eric Granado, earning 25 points.[19] Other notable results included a 7th-place finish at Le Mans in Round 2 from 12th on the grid, despite challenging conditions, and 5th at Assen in Round 4.[47][48] These performances helped him to 8th in the final standings with 62 points across the 7-race season.[49] Tulovic's 2022 MotoE campaign was curtailed by commitments in the European Moto2 Championship, limiting him to wildcard and partial entries, with a best result of 10th in Race 1 at Jerez in Round 1, starting from the fourth row and gaining four positions.[21] He added points in select rounds like Mugello (10th in Race 2) but focused primarily on European series success.[50] In 2023, Tulovic raced the full 20-round Moto2 World Championship with Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP on a Kalex chassis, marking his first complete Grand Prix season. Despite adapting to the class's demands, he struggled with consistency, finishing 24th overall with 12 points from 15 starts (missing select rounds due to injury recovery).[25] Key results included 17th at Mandalika in Round 17, completing all 27 laps without issues after starting 20th, and a best finish of 12th at the Sachsenring in Round 9 from 19th on the grid.[51] He led no laps but showed progress in the latter stages, such as 20th at Phillip Island in Round 16 amid wet conditions, though DNFs from mechanical issues and crashes (e.g., at Sepang in Round 19 after contact on lap 3, and Buriram in Round 18 due to last-lap error) hampered his score.[52][53][54] His best grid was 18th at Lusail in Round 20.[55] Returning to MotoE in 2024 with Dynavolt Intact GP on Ducati machinery, Tulovic contested all 14 races, achieving multiple top-10 finishes en route to 11th in the standings with 111 points.[23] Highlights included 8th in Race 1 at Assen in Round 5 from 7th on the grid, and 7th in Race 1 at Misano in Round 8.[56][57] He also scored in Spielberg (7th in Race 2, Round 7) despite no laps led, with DNFs limited to incidents like a crash in Mugello Race 1 (Round 4).[58][57] Tulovic's World Superbike wildcards were sparse until 2025, when he entered the final round at Jerez with Team Triple M Ducati Frankfurt on a Panigale V4R. Starting from 20th in Superpole, he finished 17th in Race 1 (0 points) after a steady ride through the field, 16th in the Superpole Race (1 point) gaining four places, and retired from Race 2 on lap 8 due to a crash at Turn 1 with no injuries reported.[59][60] No prior WSBK wildcards in 2018 or 2019 yielded recorded finishes, as his focus remained on junior and support categories.[41]
