Álvaro Carpe was born in Murcia (Spain) on June 5th, 2007. The young talent, the current champion of both the Red Bull Rookies Cup and JuniorGP, will compete in his first full season in the MotoGP World Championship in 2025 with Red Bull KTM Ajo.
Carpe began his career in 2017 when he participated in the Spanish MiniGP110 Championship, finishing the season in the Top 3. In 2018, he debuted in the Spanish Moto5 Championship with two victories and a second position. He finished third overall also.
In 2019, he was third in the final standings of the Spanish MiniGP Championship and was on the podium in an appearance at Navarra in the Spanish Moto4 Championship -in which he competed for the second half of the season.
In 2020, Carpe made his debut in the Hawkers European Talent Cup, where he took second place at Aragón and ninth overall. The following year, he claimed two wins, both at Valencia, and rounded off the Top 5.
After two seasons in the Hawkers European Talent Cup, he made the move to FIM JuniorGP in 2022 to begin to familiarise himself with the KTM. In his first year in the Moto3 Junior World Championship, he fought to score points on several occasions.
In 2023, Carpe took a step forward: he entered the Red Bull Rookies Cup, where he was both the series’ runner-up and Rookie of the Year, thanks to two victories, three second positions and two thirds. At the same time, he placed third in FIM JuniorGP, with four podiums to his name.
Carpe built on this success by winning the two championships in 2024. He claimed four victories and a further five podiums in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, then also won three races and took three third places in FIM JuniorGP which led him to the crown. He became only the third rider to win both competitions in the same year.
The solid performances allowed him to make his debut as a wildcard with Red Bull KTM Ajo at the Solidarity GP in Barcelona. He was just a few thousandths of a second away from making it into Q2 and finished the race close to the points.
For 2025, Carpe takes on the challenge of wearing the Red Bull KTM Ajo colours and he will accompany Jose Antonio Rueda in the Moto3 team, for his first full-time experience in the World Championship.
