On his social media profile, Michele Pirro—who spent two days training on the Aspar circuit with Marc Marquez and his brother Alex—wrote about how the Ducati test rider competed against "some very fast young guys" during these two days. Marc Marquez, who was recovering from the injury that kept him out of the competition just after winning his ninth world title, returned to the track at the Spanish circuit riding his Ducati.
Besides the Marquez brothers, two promising young riders were among those present. One was 2024 Moto3 World Champion David Alonso from Colombia. The Colombian from Madrid is undeniably one of the most eagerly awaited names in the future of the premier class. At his side was the young Spaniard, Maximo Quiles, straight from an excellent debut season in the World Championship with the CFMoto team in the Moto3 and a pupil of the Marquez brothers, who also manage him with their company, Vertical. The Spanish rider is among the favorites for the 2026 Moto3 season.
