The coming future (3): Daniel Holgado

Date:

Daniel Holgado (Sant Vicent del Raspeig, Alicante, 4-27-2005) is one of the three riders playing for the rookie title of the year 2022 in Moto3 until the last race in Cheste, a privilege that the Brazilian Diogo Moreira got in the end. after the man from Alicante who defended the colors of Red Bull KTM Ajo led from Germany to Thailand with three races to go.

None of his plans for 2022 jump to the Moto3 World Championship with the Finnish structure Aki Ajo where the wonderful Pedro Acosta emerged as champion in 2021. But a change of times to keep another one of the pearl of youth the academy is happy The oranges, the Moto2 world runner-up Raúl Fernández, who they want in MotoGP with Tech3 Factory Racing and declared himself in absentia for not leaving him to go to MotoGP with Yamaha or stay a year in Moto2, is over. benefits him. His Moto3 Red Bull KTM Tech3 position, where he made it official on October 2, went to Raúl’s brother, Adrián Fernández, and he was directly promoted to KTM No. 1 squad in the small category a November 7.

The preseason went wrong when he broke his tibia in an accident while practicing on a motorcycle in a go-kart and was forced to undergo surgery, screws and plates from which he was released after last season. But with a top-10 in the standings, a first pole in the Red Bull Ring and his first podium, a third in Aragón, he ended his first full campaign in which he showed speed and was less than race management. .

Earlier in 2021 he had the option to discover the boys led by Hervé Poncharal by running with them the two 2021 Grands Prix covering the loss of Deniz Oncu in Misano in Portimao. But his official debut was at the Catalunya GP, covering Kofler’s loss to CIP Green Power and adding his first World Championship points. Matighoffen’s usual juggling will return him to the starting box for 2023 and he will be a Red Bull KTM Tech3 rider, giving up his place to the next Junior GP champion on the list -and the Red Bull Rookies Cup- José Antonio Rueda .

Holgado is another young Spanish rider who has experienced the pressure of being the favorite for the title since he was young, with a full or partial scholarship at stake to continue competing, even if it wasn’t until his third year at the World Junior GP in 2021 that he tied his first crown. He trained at the Cradle of Champions where he won the minibike in 2013 and third in the Spanish Moto4 championship in 2015 and runner-up the following year and it was there that Emilio Alzamora and his team noticed him and signed him at the age of 11 for his Star Galicia 0.0 Junior Team. In 2017 he was sixth in PreMoto3 and in 2018, he was in the European Talent Cup, he was on the podium in the third race and finished eleventh. They saw enough charms for him to debut at age 14 in the 2019 World Junior GP taken by Jeremy Alcoba, where he exceeded expectations by finishing sixth and adding two more podiums – third in Cheste and second in Albacete-.

The Aspar Team entered the scene and ended up signing him at the request of Nico Terol, the manager of the Junior Team. At KTM he finished in fifth position -in the same place in the Red Bull Rookies Cup he organized- in a campaign where his rivals were Izan Guevara, one of his best friends in the World Cup paddock, Pedro Acosta or Xavi Artigas. The third time in 2021 and at 16 years old will be the charm and in GasGas he completed a dream year with five wins and although it was difficult to tie the title, he ended up getting it at home, in Ricardo Tormo. Earlier in the Red Bull Rookies Cup he finished third behind David Alonso and David Muñoz, and two more victories to his bag.

Gas Gas Aspar could not find him a place to stay for the Moto3 World Championship, betting on the duo Sergio García Dols and Izan Guevara, who have been a huge success in 2022 with triplet titles and pilots’ champion and runner-up, but he found his way to the other great team on the grid, Red Bull KTM Ajo.
