Viñales

Maverick Viñales rose rapidly through the junior ranks, claiming JuniorGP and European Moto3™ titles before making an immediate impact in Moto3™. Multiple race wins and Rookie of the Year honours set the platform for a dominant 2013 season and a lightweight class World Championship. A move to Moto2™ brought further success, including race victories and another Rookie of the Year award, before promotion to MotoGP™ with Suzuki.

Viñales delivered Suzuki’ s first MotoGP™ win in almost a decade in 2016 and earned a factory Yamaha seat the following season. Early victories marked him as a title contender, though inconsistency limited his campaigns. A switch to Aprilia reignited his form, culminating in a historic victory at the Americas GP in 2024, making him a race winner with three manufacturers. Joining Red Bull KTM Tech3 in 2025 brought flashes of speed before injury intervened. Continuing with KTM in 2026, Viñales targets another milestone by chasing wins with a fourth manufacturer.
