As we look forward to the penultimate round of the 2025 Moto3 campaign in Portimao, our thoughts remain firmly with Noah Dettwiler (CIP Green Power) and World Champion Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) as the duo continue their recoveries.
Back on the track, the fight for P2 overall will be in the spotlight as Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) looks to leave Portimao with that battle won. After his P2 in Sepang, his lead over Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) is now 14 points after the newly crowned Rookie of the Year finished P7 last time out, so if that grows to 25 points or more come Sunday, Piqueras will officially be the runner-up.
After his maiden victory finally arrived in Malaysia, Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia) will be a rider full of confidence in Portimao. Top Honda honours are also up for grabs, with Malaysian GP podium finisher Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) currently leading the Japanese rider by 23 points.
Meanwhile, Joel Kelso (LEVELUP – MTA) and Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) are level on points in P5 and P6, so there’s lots to keep an eye on as the Moto3 field face up to Portimao’s famous rollercoaster. Tune in for more this weekend!
