Career
Early career
Pini joined the European Talent Cup for the 2021 season at the age of 13 and scored points regularly in the second half of the year.
Pini remained in the same category for 2022 and won the title in only his second full season, aged 15.
In 2023, Pini was selected to compete in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup series, where he achieved two podium finishes. He also participated in his third European Talent Cup season, finishing as runner-up.[2]
Pini signed a contract to participate in the 2024 JuniorGP on board a KTM, and was also given a second year in the Red Bull Rookies Cup. However, during pre-season testing, he suffered a left elbow fracture, just after he had recovered from a right-handed scaphoid and radius fracture, which made him sit out of the first few rounds of both categories.[3] Eventually, Pini recovered and was able to achieve several podiums and wins in the JuniorGP, and ended the season as championship runner-up, despite missing nearly half of the races.[4]

Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP (2025)
On 13 December 2024, Intact GP announced that Pini would complete their 2025 rider line-up, alongside David Muñoz.[5][6]
During pre-season training, Pini suffered a crash that resulted in fractures to both legs, two months prior to the season opener.[7] He recovered in time and was fit to compete in the opening round. Pini started the season with two consecutive retirements in the Thailand and Argentina rounds, but went on to finish in the points in the following three races, including a seventh place in Jerez.[8]
Leopard Racing (2026)
Ahead of the San Marino Grand Prix, Leopard Racing announced Pini would be joining their lineup for 2026, making the jump from a RC250GP to a NSF250RW.[9]
