From the Americas GP, the Moto3 class will be complete: the youngest rider of the group is about to make his debut.
Finally, after the rounds in Thailand and Argentina, Moto3 will be able to race in full: the only one missing was the youngest of them all, a rider who just turned 17 a week ago, a crucial factor that had previously prevented him from racing in the MotoGP world championship.
Who is Máximo Quiles: his biography
Máximo Martínez Quiles is a Moto3 rider from Murcia. Born on March 19, 2008, he quickly developed a passion for motorcycling, thanks to his family, and especially his father.
The young Spanish talent grew up watching races of his sporting idols, including Marc Marquez and Luis Salom, drawing inspiration from them. Inspired by their success, he started speeding around circuits on his minibike number 28.
His natural speed on track was evident from the start: in 2021, he made his debut in the European Talent Cup, winning three races and finishing on the podium five times. These results allowed Quiles to dominate the European Championship in his first year. He then stayed in the same competition for two more seasons.
In 2022 and 2023, he also participated in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, finishing third both times. It was thanks to these successes, along with the bronze medal at the JuniorGP last season, that the Aspar Team signed him underage for Moto3. According to the rules, one can only enter the Moto3 class upon reaching the legal age, except for those who prove to be particularly talented in youth championships.
Máximo Quiles, before stepping onto the track, had to wait until he turned 17, which happened exactly a week ago. After being forced to miss the Thailand and Argentina races due to age restrictions, the Spanish rider is now ready to make his mark among the competitors and show the world that the wait was worth it.
