The Valencian Grand Prix returns to the calendar after a year’s absence, where Red Bull KTM Ajo Moto3 wants to finish the campaign in style.

Alvaro Carpe and Brian Uriarte will once again share the garage for the final race of the 2025 Moto3 World Championship season. The two Spanish riders, who will be competing together for the second time this season and will be regular teammates in 2026, will be paired once again in the absence of Jose Antonio Rueda.

Carpe is currently fifth in the overall standings coming into the season-closer, and is aiming to take fourth place in Valencia. He has put together a positive run of results in the final stretch of the season, and fought for victory at the Portuguese Grand Prix until the final lap. He placed fifth in that race, having climbed from 12th place with composure and character. The Red Bull KTM Ajo Moto3 rider knows the circuit for this weekend’s event very well, having already competed in Valencia in many previous seasons. In terms of impressive results, in the ETC he achieved two victories and a second place there between 2021 and 2022, while he finished second and third in the JuniorGP series in the 2023 season. Currently the second-best Moto3 rookie, he has 195 points to his name this campaign -just two points shy of fourth place.

Uriarte also wants to end the 2025 season with a strong result. The young rookie gets a second race with Red Bull KTM Ajo as a stand-in for the injured Jose Antonio Rueda, whom he will replace on a permanent basis in 2026 when the Moto3 World Champion moves up to Moto2. In Portugal, Uriarte scored his first points with the team, making it directly into Q2 and then achieving a very commendable 13th place on a track he barely knew beforehand. The visit to the Circuit Ricardo Tormo can be considered his home Grand Prix, and is a return to the scene of four podium finishes in recent seasons for him in the European Talent Cup -including a win. However, he has never raced there with a Moto3 bike, as the JuniorGP series did not go to Valencia in 2024 and has yet to venture there in 2025. Uriarte is 28th in the Moto3 World Championship overall standings with 11 points.

On 563 points, Red Bull KTM Ajo are aiming for their highest ever tally in the Moto3 World Championship, and they already amassed 10 wins, 18 podium finishes, 6 pole positions, and 6 fastest laps in 2025. At Valencia, in the last decade the team have five wins and one second-place finish. The victories were achieved by Miguel Oliveira (2015), Brad Binder (2016), Can Öncü (2018), Raul Fernandez (2020), and Pedro Acosta (2021), whilst Jaume Masia secured second in 2022.

In short, the Valencia Grand Prix will bring to an end the longest season in the history of the Moto3 World Championship to date. The Valencian Grand Prix weekend kicks off this Friday at 9 a.m. (local time) with Moto3 Free Practice 1. The 20-lap Moto3 race takes place on Sunday at 11 a.m.

 #83 ALVARO CARPE

“We are going to Valencia to finish our first season in the World Championship. The year has gone by very quickly, but we’ve enjoyed it, so we’re going to try to finish it in the best way possible. We still have a chance of finishing fourth overall, so we’re going to fight for that. I’m very happy with how our rookie season has gone, and especially with how we’ve gotten back on form in these last few races. We’re arriving in Valencia motivated and eager to have a great weekend at a circuit I like, one that has suited us well, and that’s close to home and my family.”

#51 BRIAN URIARTE

“I’m really looking forward to getting things underway in Valencia. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to race there, so I’m eager to get started on Friday. I’m sure the atmosphere will be excellent, so I’m very motivated to give my all to thank the fans for their support. We’ll try to put on the best show possible, as well as take several steps forward to finish the year on a high note and start preparing for the 2026 preseason in the best possible conditions.”
