First Brazilian motorcycling World Champion in history

· Finishing the last Moto2™ race of the year in eleventh place, Diogo Moreira (Kalex) won the Moto2™ world title and went on to become the first Brazilian motorcycle World Champion in history. The Grand Prix of the Valencian Community 2025 race was won by Izan Guevara (Boscoscuro), who crossed the finish line ahead of poleman Daniel Holgado (Kalex), second, and Iván Ortolá (Boscoscuro), third. All the riders in the race used soft SC1 compound tyres at the front and development supersoft E0126 rear tyres.

· Starting from pole, after staying in the lead for the entire race, Adrián Fernández (Honda) won his first Moto3™ race. Behind him, Álvaro Carpe (KTM), who started sixth, and Taiyo Furusato (Honda), third after a good comeback from ninth on the grid. Most of the riders, including the winner and the second runner, opted for medium SC2 compound tyres on both axles. Furusato opted for the soft SC1 front tyre, just like Lunetta, Morelli, Rios, Carraro, Mitani and O’Shea.

· The races were significantly faster in both categories than those held with tyres from another supplier in 2023, and the new fastest race laps were also set. The Moto2™ race was 14 seconds faster, with an average lap improvement of more than 6 tenths, while Iván Ortolá (Boscoscuro) set the new fastest race lap in 1’32.773 on lap top, improving the record set by Fermín Aldeguer in 2023 (1’33.665) by almost 9 tenths. In Moto3™, Álvaro Carpe (KTM) set the new race record lap of 1’37.715 on lap fourteen, improving the one set in 2023 by David Alonso (1.38.438) by more than seven tenths. The race was 14.5 seconds faster than the 2023’s, which was also held over a distance of 20 laps, for an average race pace improvement of 7 tenths per lap.

A season marked by development and records for Pirelli
 
“Our second year as sole suppliers for the Moto2™ and Moto3™ Championships ended in Valencia. This season gave us great satisfaction both in terms of performance and results obtained by our tyres, with new all-time and race lap records, and for the development work we carried out, which has certainly paid off. In particular, two development solutions stood out performance-wise during the year, the supersoft E0126 and the soft E0125. These two tyres, based on standard SCX and SC0 compounds, with a new structure, have shown in all GP races we provided them increasingly better performances than the standard versions. For this reason, in line with our core philosophy, in 2026 they will become the new range options, with the supersoft SCX in red and the soft SC0 in white. This, apart from making them available in all world and national championships Pirelli is involved in, also means providing access to them to all amateur riders and motorcyclists worldwide who love track-days, since our tyres are regularly sold on the market. I would like to congratulate Diogo Moreira for writing his own name in this sport, by becoming the first Brazilian motorcycling World Champion!”
