THE CHAMPION WITHOUT A CALENDAR

When Pedro Fragoso learned to ride a motorcycle at just 3 years old, it wasn’t just a childhood curiosity — it was the first step on a path shaped by speed, instinct, and determination. By 14, the Portuguese native had already joined Miguel Oliveira’s riding school, rising quickly through the ranks of the Oliveira Cup. Within three years, he’d claimed the national Moto3 title — a sign of things to come.

In 2019, a new chapter opened. Pedro met our founder Eric Pukall, who helped him build the right connections in Europe and take his racing to the international stage. That year, Pedro competed in both the Yamaha R3 CUP SWISS Trophy and Portugal’s National Speed Championship in the Supersport 300 class. He didn’t just show up — he won the Portuguese title and finished fourth in Switzerland. His reputation was growing.

From there, the rhythm only intensified. In 2020, Pedro joined the Supersport 300 World Championship for the closing rounds of the season — gaining vital world-stage experience. He missed one race in the Portuguese series to do so, but still returned home as national vice-champion.

2021 marked a leap into the Superstock 600 category — and with it, another national title, a Rookie of the Year nod, and several competitive appearances in Spain. In 2022, he defended his national crown and placed 7th overall in the Spanish ESBK championship. A year later, he repeated the feat once more: a third Superstock 600 title, and 10th place in Spain.

But in 2024, Pedro chose to broaden his scope.

After seven intense years of track racing, he shifted gears — not to slow down, but to grow. He began focusing on the family business and started exploring off-road and endurance formats. Fewer races, yes — but with new terrains, new formats, and new challenges. Because becoming a world-class rider isn’t always about more laps — sometimes it’s about deeper ones.

Today, Pedro continues to train, ride, and stay closely connected to the racing world. And his presence lives on within TAVERI — not just in the images we create together, but in the mindset we share. His perseverance, his calm drive, his youthful boldness — the kind that doesn’t overthink, but simply goes — runs through everything we do.

With five national titles already behind him, Pedro’s story is far from finished. The talent is proven. The focus is sharp. And the next titles? They’re well within reach.

We haven’t seen the last of Pedro Fragoso. Not even close.
