2014 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup

The 2014 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup season was the eighth season of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup. After pre-season testing at Ciudad del Motor de Aragón, the season began at Jerez on 3 May and ended on 28 September at the Ciudad del Motor de Aragón after 14 races. The races, for the second year contested by the riders on equal KTM 250cc 4-stroke Moto3 bikes, were held at eight meetings on the Grand Prix motorcycle racing calendar.

Spanish riders Jorge Martín and Joan Mir won 9 of the season's 14 races between them – 6 for Martín and 3 for Mir – with Martín prevailing as champion. Martín finished each of the first five races on the podium, including a win at Mugello, and also had a spell of four wins in five races mid-season before clinching the championship in the final meeting. Mir finished as the season's runner-up by just four points ahead of Italy's Stefano Manzi, who took nine podium finishes during the season – including six third place finishes – but only a single victory, at Misano. Other race victories were taken by Soushi Mihara, who won two races, as well as single victories for Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and Bo Bendsneyder; of the trio, Razgatlıoğlu was best placed in the championship, in sixth position.
