Mika Kallio - 2009 MotoGP Rookie of the Year
Finlandian, Mika Kallio is making his MotoGP debut this year. He has seen his share of success in the lower cylinder categories, taking home seven Grand Prix victories and an impressive 23 podiums during his 4 years of 125cc competition. His last two years there, with KTM, saw him take runner-up, but the title escaped him.
Mika's move to the Quarter Liters came in 2007. His competitveness and stellar riding style earned two Grand Prix victories and a nice collection of podiums that year, definitely putting him in the mix for a Championship title in 2008.
Although his final season in the realm of 250cc racing began with high hopes and 2 victories, it was not enough to claim the title that year either. Kallio's talent and confidence were evident to Ducati, who signed him to jockey their Pramac Racing Desmosedici GP9 for the 2009 season. Mika has re-signed with Pramac and will be piloting their machine for the 2010 season.
