Moto3 champion Máximo Quiles praised for talent and adaptability
Máximo Quiles has won the Moto3 championship after returning to Aspar Team in 2025.
The 18-year-old rider from Murcia had previously won the European Talent Cup with the team.
Aspar Team leaders say his natural talent helps him adapt to dry or wet tracks and changing grip.
They also praise his late braking and his ability to ride well through fast corners.
Team boss Nico Terol says Quiles has become much more mature, though difficult races can still unsettle him.
His next challenge is to keep developing in Moto2, where Terol says there are more hard days than good ones.
Máximo Quiles has been praised by Aspar Team figures for his talent, adaptability and rapid development as a Moto3 rider.
He won the European Talent Cup with Aspar before returning to the team in 2025.
In less than two years after his return, he became Moto3 champion.
Team manager Nico Terol highlighted Quiles’s race determination and confidence, while also saying he needs to develop further for the tougher days expected in Moto2.

What people are saying
I would highlight that naturalness, that talent. He is capable of adapting to any situation, whether in the dry, in the rain, with more grip or less grip.
He is 1.80 metres tall and that is a certain disadvantage, but he is extremely slim.
What makes him special is his determination in a race, how clear he is about wanting to blow them away, with all due affection.
He brakes very late and stops the bike very well.
