Career

edit

Early career

edit

Almansa started racing in Spain early, winning his first championship by the age of 13. Later on, he raced in the Spanish Cuna de Campeones Moto5 championship, finishing as runner-up in 2018 before winning the title in 2019.[3]

In 2021, Almansa moved to the European Talent Cup, winning in his first weekend and finishing 11th in the championship, despite missing 2 races.[4][5] For 2022, Almansa moved up again, this time going to the FIM JuniorGP World Championship. In his first season in the category, he finished 8th, winning in the season finale.[6] In 2023, for his second season in the category, he won another race, but dropped to 9th in the championship after missing the final 2 races.[7]

Moto3 World Championship

edit

Boé Motorsports (2022)

edit

Almansa made his debut in the Moto3 World Championship at the last round of 2022, as a wildcard for Boé Motorsports.[8] He qualified 22nd and finished 25th, in a field of 32 bikes.[9]

CFMoto Racing Prüstel GP (2023)

edit

Following an injury sustained by regular rider Joel Kelso, Almansa was called up to replace him for the Argentinian and Americas rounds of the 2023 Moto3 World Championship at CFMoto Racing Prüstel GP.[10][11] He would end up finishing 17th in both of his starts for the team.[12][13]

Finetwork Intact GP (2023)

edit

Almansa made wild card appearances in the three Spanish rounds in the 2023 season for Finetwork Intact GP, although he would end up withdrawing from the season finale in Valencia after Free Practice One due to an injury.[14] In his two starts, he had a best result of 20th, coming in his first one at Jerez.[15]

Rivacold Snipers Team (2023-2024)

edit

Due to an injury sustained by Romano Fenati, Almansa was called up to race for the Rivacold Snipers Team, racing for his fourth manufacturer in five starts,[a] at the Japanese Grand Prix. He would finish 17th.[16]

Almansa would join the team full time for the 2024 Moto3 World Championship, as he attempted to make his first full season. He would miss the first three races and end up finishing 22nd, scoring 18 points with a best finish of 11th, which he achieved at the San Marino and Malaysian rounds of the season.[15]

Leopard Racing (2025)

edit

Almansa moved to the Leopard Racing team for 2025,[17] where he found much better results than in 2024. He scored his first top-ten in Moto3 at the Buriram opener, adding more through the season. Almansa scored his first pole position at Barcelona, scoring a second one at Sepang. In the same race, he also earned his best finish of third, after the disqualification of his teammate.[15]

Dynavolt Intact GP (2026)

edit

On October 5, 2025, it was announced Almansa would switch to Dynavolt Intact GP for the 2026 season.[18] In his first start with the team at Buriram, Almansa won his first world championship race.[19] In the Catalaonia round, Almansa scored his first fastest lap in Moto3.[20] Almansa then scored back to back pole positions for the first time in his Grand Prix career, at the Italian and Hungarian rounds of the season.[21] He had to miss the Italian Grand Prix due to Tonsillitis developing overnight.[22] In Hungary, he was able to score his second podium of the season, taking second place.[23]
