The Dutchman achieved his second best result of the year in a race that could have ended on the podium with one more lap. Muñoz finished 23rd after being involved in a first-lap incident.

Collin Veijer finished fourth at the Valencian Grand Prix to bring to a close a great 2025 season. The Red Bull KTM Ajo rider made a noteworthy comeback to finish just off the podium, making it his second-best result of the campaign. Daniel Muñoz was brought down by another rider on the first lap, but rejoined the race and took the chequered flag in 23rd place.

Track temperature of 20°C and track humidity of 57% provided ideal conditions for the final Moto2 race of the season.

Veijer made a great start from 7th on the grid, and stayed amongst the Top 7 early on. Despite struggling on the opening laps with a full fuel tank, the Dutchman was able to gradually overtake other riders and broke into the Top 5 two-thirds of the way into the race. Employing a pace only matched by the two frontrunners, he moved into fourth place and targeted a second consecutive podium finish, but ran out of laps to catch the rider in third and missed out on the rostrum by just 7 tenths of a second.

The Red Bull KTM Ajo rider reached 97 points in his rookie season, finishing 15th overall. He was outside the Top 12 by only 3 points.

Muñoz experienced misfortune in the season finale, having to settle for 23^rd. After a less-than-ideal start, he tried to gain positions with a pass at Turn 2, but contact with another rider caused him to crash, denying him any chance of fighting for the podium he had targeted for the race. However, the Spaniard remounted to continue the race, and was one of the quickest riders in the field from then on. He even set a faster time on the final lap than any other rider who finished the contest. Despite having one of his best weekends as a Moto2 rider, the crash meant that he was unable to place well in the race itself -his final contest with Red Bull KTM Ajo. Muñoz -a replacement for the injured Deniz Öncü for much of 2025-, finished the season with 37 points, in 20th position in the overall standings.

In short, another season has come to an end for Red Bull KTM Ajo Moto2 team, which has had one of the most complete Grand Prix seasons, with three riders, including Deniz, who have been very competitive from start to finish, regardless of the result. After a year of difficulties but also many highs, they end 2025 seventh in the Team standings with 234 points, just four shy of sixth place.

NIKLAS AJO – Team Manager

“We’ve got mixed emotions today. The weekend in general was very positive for both riders. Collin was strong all weekend. He struggled a little bit at the beginning, but he managed to work step by step to get to the race in the best possible condition. Today, he showed why we think that next year he could be in the Top 10 -and maybe also in the Top 5- consistently. Today he was very strong in the last part of the race. I think that if we had one more lap, he would have been on the podium here in Valencia. Dani was very fast since the first session here and showed a great pace. He was unfortunate in Qualifying yesterday and he deserved to place higher on the grid. It was very sad today, because he had the pace to fight to be at the front, but he was hit by another rider on the first lap. It’s not the ending he deserved for his time with the team, but I want to thank him for all his efforts during all these races he spent with us this season. I’m also really happy for him, because next year he will have the chance to show his real potential -as will Deniz. We had two great riders this season and I know they’re going to do great in the future with their new teams.”

#95 COLLIN VEIJER

“It was a great race today. I got a perfect start for the first time this season and we took advantage of that. I suffered a little bit with the full fuel tank, but after seven laps, I started to feel better and better. I overtook some riders to go into fourth, and after that I tried to push as much as I could in the second part of the race, but it wasn’t enough to reach the podium. Maybe with one more lap we could have managed that, but this time it wasn’t possible. In any case, I’m very happy about the pace we had, and also about all the work we did during this weekend, so we have a great starting point to work from in 2026.”

#17 DANIEL MUÑOZ

“Today we wanted to deliver a good result for the team, as it was our last race with them, but it wasn’t to be. I didn’t get a bad start, but I was involved in a crash through no fault of my own, and from then on, our race was over. Luckily, I was able to get back on the bike and finish the race. It’s a shame because in the second half of the race we showed great pace, but luck wasn’t on our side. I only have words of gratitude for the team, who have given me a tremendous opportunity this season. I wish them a future as good as, or even better than, what they’ve done so far.”
