Moto3: Can Piqueras pinch more points from Rueda in Misano
Moto3: It may only be five points, but winning is exactly what Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) needs to continue doing if he wants to stop Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) from winning the 2025 Moto3 World Championship.
Moto3: It may only be five points, but winning is exactly what Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) needs to continue doing if he wants to stop Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) from winning the 2025 Moto3 World Championship.
And that’s exactly what he did last year at our next port of call: the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
Piqueras clinched his first Moto3 win at Misano last year despite having two Long Lap penalties. Not bad. And a week later, it was only eventual World Champion David Alonso who beat the Spaniard, so a gold and silver medal from 2024 – plus two wins in his last three outings – will see a confident Piqueras arrive this weekend.
Rueda’s Long Lap to P2 was impressive in Barcelona, and having racked up two P5s in Austria and Hungary, a return to the podium was needed for the title chase leader. 64 points is still a very healthy margin in the #99’s favour, but Piqueras has stepped on the gas when he needed to. A big weekend awaits.
Elsewhere, all of Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team), David Muñoz (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) and Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) will be wanting an immediate response to their low-key Catalan GP results, while Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia) hopes his Barcelona P3 is the catalyst for more of the same in the coming weeks.
With 102 points now the gap between Rueda and Quiles, is it a two-horse race for the Moto3 title between Rueda and Piqueras? We’ll know more come Sunday in Misano.
