The 2017 Asia Talent Cup was the fourth season of the Asia Talent Cup (ATC), an international motorcycle racing series for young riders from Asia and Oceania. The season marked a significant transition for the championship, as Idemitsu replaced Shell as the title sponsor, officially renaming the competition the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup.[1]

Season Summary

The 2017 championship consisted of twelve races held across six rounds. The first race of second round at the Losail International Circuit in Qatar was cancelled due to hazardous track conditions caused by heavy rain and a storm that occurred overnight.[2] The season won by Turkish rider Deniz Öncü who secured the title following a season-long rivalry with his twin brother, Can Öncü, and Japanese rider Haruki Noguchi.[3][4]
