5 Jaume Masia
RED BULL KTM AJO 85 POINTS
Masia made an impact on the world stage in 2017 when he was called up to replace the injured Darryn Binder at the Austrian Grand Prix ; showing himself to be a quick learner , he finished ninth on his World Championship debut and was signed immediately for a full-time ride in 2018 . He was crowned Rookie of the Year and he remained with them for 2019 , a year in which he earned a first race win in Argentina . 2020 saw him make the move to Leopard Racing and an impressive campaign was capped with back to back victories in the Aragon double as he finished sixth in the Championship . He must fight for the title in 2021 with Ajo KTM .
