He’s the current Moto 4 champion – and in 2025, Robin Lüthi is once again proving his strength by leading the championship standings. With impressive consistency, focus, and racecraft, he continues to raise the bar on the Moto4 categorie in Swiss Championship.

In this exclusive interview, Robin shares what it’s like to manage the pressure of being the rider to beat, how his season is going so far, and what keeps him motivated. We also asked about how he prepares for race weekends, and what his goals are for the future.

Let’s dive in and get to know the rider behind the #1 plate.

MXM - How has this season been for you so far?

RL - Perfect, I was able to take a lot of wins. I would say it is one of the best seasons since I started racing.

MXM - What has surprised you the most in this year’s championship compared to last season?

RL - That much more can be possible with good physical fitness.

MXM - Do you think the number of races and the overall schedule are well-balanced, or would you like to see any changes?

RL - On the whole, I'm satisfied. We have enough races, of course there are good and less good tracks. I think it would be interesting to have 2 official Swiss Championships together with the FMS.

MXM - The competition seems stronger this year, but you are in another level… Is there any rider in particular who’s been pushing you the most?

RL - Unfortunately, Marcelo Cruz is not racing this season, so I only have one real competitor, Joao Ferraz. I'm glad he's racing, otherwise it would be too easy this season.

MXM - How do you handle the pressure of being the reigning champion and now also leading the championship?

RL - I'm taking it easy, we're already a little over halfway through the season and I have already managed to pull a few points clear of P2, which takes the pressure off me.

MXM - You're racing with a new Moto4 this season. What differences have you noticed compared to your previous bike?

RL - Sadly I wasn't able to start with the new quad at the beginning of the season. I also rode almost all the races with the "old" machine. I will probably contest the last few races with the new quad, it as a bit more power and is very quiet overall.

MXM - Is there anything you’ve specifically adjusted to feel more competitive?

RL - Only little things (like a new clutch from SUTER), the rest works perfectly.

MXM - What role has your family and friends played in your season so far?

RL - They play a major role. Without their support, none of this would be possible. I'm very grateful. 

MXM - Have you felt more support or more responsibility this year?

RL - No, because they have also given me their full support in recent years.

MXM - How did you prepare during the pre-season for this year’s championship?

RL - I tried to improve my physical fitness and went running a lot. From February forwards, I tried to do as much training as possible on the quad in Italy.

MXM - Can you tell us a bit about your weekly training routine?

RL - I do endurace training 2-3 times a week and I try to ride on the track once a week. 

MXM - Is there anything different you’ve done this year to improve?

RL - Yes, the improved physical fitness has helped me a lot. 

MXM - With several races still to come, what are your goals for the rest of the season?

RL - I will try to win every heats and try to get some better starts.

MXM - Are you already thinking about 2026? Any plans to move to a new category or team?

RL - The focus will be on the Swiss Championship, but I will be competing in various races in Germany.

MXM - What advice would you give to young riders who dream of reaching your level?

RL - Stay focused, have goals in front of you and learn from the better riders.

MXM - Is there anything you’d like to say to your supporters or to those following your journey?

RL - Thank you for believing in me and giving me the best support.
