Moto3: It was coming, wasn’t it? And it had to be at Mugello.
Mirroring mentor Marc Marquez, Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team) clinched his debut Grand Prix win on Italian soil in a rookie 1-2 finish.
The Spaniard beat compatriot Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) by just 0.006s in a classic Moto3 battle, so what does Assen have in store for us?
That debut win, coupled with back-to-back P2s at Silverstone and Aragon, has seen Quiles catapult himself up to P5 in the overall standings. Carpe is on the up too following his double podium success in Aragon and Mugello, he’s just one point behind second place Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI). The latter, with a P7, lost a few more points to pacesetter Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and is without a podium since Jerez. Will that change this weekend?
Rueda will be hoping he can continue building on his healthy 56-point advantage on a circuit on which he finished P4 last year. David Muñoz (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) was a podium finisher in the Netherlands last season, so expect the Aragon GP winner to be strong again, as fourth place Joel Kelso (LEVEL-UP MTA) aims to end his three-race podium drought. And how good did that podium feel for the experienced Dennis Foggia (CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team)? That was his first top three since the 2022 Thai GP, so is that now the catalyst for the Italian’s form to turn in 2025?
We’ve had three winners in the last three races in Moto3, and as we know, there’s a whole host of riders who will want to make that four in four on Sunday at ‘The Cathedral of Speed’.
