Maximo Quiles received a strong vote of confidence from the MotoGP paddock, with several riders including Marc and Alex Marquez tipping the teenager as the favourite to win the 2026 Moto3 championship.<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old Aspar rider finished third in last season\u2019s standings behind champion Jose Antonio Rueda and runner-up Angel Piqueras, despite missing four of the first five rounds of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Quiles\u2019 rapid rise, which saw him getting crowned Moto3 Rookie of the Year in 2025, did not go unnoticed by the premier-class grid, drawing backing from MotoGP stars such as Francesco Bagnaia and Marco Bezzecchi.<\/p>\n
