The CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team rider will try to add more success to his list of achievements in the final race of an incredible debut season in the World Championship

The 2025 season draws to a close with a visit to the Circuit Ricardo Tormo after a year's absence. The race, doubly special for the CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team as it's its home Grand Prix, will be the perfect ending to a year full of highlights. Máximo Quiles secured his third victory in Portugal and will finish the year as the best Moto3 rookie in history in terms of points and podiums: with 263 points and 9 podiums, he has surpassed riders like Pedro Acosta, who finished his Moto3 rookie year as champion, and fellow CFMOTO Aspar Team rider David Alonso. Quiles can still improve these figures in the final race of the year. After exceeding all expectations and completing a great debut season in Moto3, the CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team rider isn't putting any extra pressure on himself this weekend. Quiles, who has already won five times in Valencia between the European Talent Cup and the Rookies Cup (he didn't compete in JuniorGP at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo), wants to enjoy this race with his team and finish the year on a high note.

His teammate Dennis Foggia faces his last weekend in Moto3. The Italian was competitive throughout the Portuguese Grand Prix, but his efforts weren't reflected in the race, where he finished fourteenth. Throughout the year, the rider has finished in the top 10 on several occasions and, with Valresa as his main sponsor, joined Quiles on the podium at Mugello, where he finished third. His best result in Valencia in the World Championship was a fourth place in 2022, before moving up to Moto2, and for this race he wants to at least try to match that to end this second stint in the category on a high note. The CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team has secured third place in the teams’ standings and, with 45 points still up for grabs, is 39 points behind second place.

The Moto3 runner-up position remains up for grabs: Quiles holds third place with 263 points and has secured third in the standings, but after his victory in Portimao, the gap to Ángel Piqueras, second, has been reduced to eight points. To secure the runner-up position, the CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team rider would need to score nine more points than Piqueras. David Muñoz remains in fourth place with 197 points but could lose it as he is unable to compete in the Valencia Grand Prix due to his ongoing injury. Álvaro Carpe follows closely behind in fifth place with 195 points, and Joel Kelso with 193.

Máximo Quiles: “We’ve already secured third place in the standings, which is great, but we’re even closer to the runner-up spot after the victory in Portugal. We’ll fight for it, of course. I’m very excited about the possibility of achieving it, but even if we don’t, third place is still a great accomplishment. I’m going to focus on having the best race possible without obsessing over the result.”

Dennis Foggia: “I’ve had good results in Valencia in previous years. This will be my last race in Moto3 and in the World Championship, so I want to work with the team to be competitive throughout the weekend and finish this chapter with a great memory.”
