In 1997 he debuted in the European 125cc Championship, and took part in the final round of the 125 cc World Championship. Throughout the 1998 season he competed for the European 125 cc title against Marco Melandri, but after an accident and resultant damage to his hand, his season ended early with three rounds to complete.

BRC Racing

In the 2005 season, Borciani had started his own BRC Racing team, managing other riders competing in series from junior Italian-based series, through WSBK and Superstock.

Having been released from the CIV Superbike Ducati-works team, he raced his own privateer Ducati in the 2008 series coming eighth, and the 2009 series, coming fourth.
