Iván Ortolá competed for the first time in 2016 and just three years later he began to stand out in the European Talent Cup, where he won three races. During the following season he finished runner-up to Izan Guevara. However, he was unable to maintain this status for a second year, as he was beaten by the Alonso - Van den Goorbergh - Ferrández trio, despite five podium finishes. The Valencian rider also scored five podiums in the Red Bull MotoGP™ Rookies Cup, including a victory at Aragón. In 2021, he would combine this programme with the FIM CEV Repsol in Moto3™. He was 4th and 2nd, respectively, with very promising results, enough to convince the MTA team to offer him a seat in the Moto3™ World Championship from 2022. Ortola had an impressive rookie campaign in the class, cracking the point scoring positions more often than not, and he’ll be chasing a maiden podium, and maybe even victory, during his sophomore year.
