Moto3™ is wide open as it enters 2026. A class that often provides the tightest racing of the weekend, there will likely to be little to choose between the leading names.
Those tipped for glory in 2026 will likely be those at the front. With last year’ s champion Jose Antonio Rueda and runner up Angel Piqueras moving up to Moto2™, a host of names will be vying for supremacy this year.
David Muñoz( Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) will likely be one of them after he won three races in 2025 and finished fifth overall. Last year’ s stand out rookie Maximo Quiles( CFMoto Aspar Team) has been tipped by many to become this year’ s champion. And Alvaro Carpe( Red Bull KTM Ajo) will also be a major player.
Challenges are also likely to come from young Argentinean Valentin Perrone( Red Bull KTM Tech3), while all eyes are on Joel Kelso( Gryd – Mlav Racing) as he switches from KTM machinery to Honda. And watch out for Brian Uriarte( Red Bull KTM Ajo), another rapid Spaniard hotly tipped for big things, who is making his full-time debut this weekend.
ALL EYES ARE ON JOEL KELSO AS HE SWITCHES FROM KTM MACHINERY TO HONDA.
