It’s been an unforgettable season for Izan Guevara, with the GASGAS Aspar starlet becoming the 2022 Moto3™ World Champion after a stylish performance from the Spaniard. Aged 18 years 110 days old on race day at the Australian GP, Izan Guevara becomes the fifth youngest rider to clinch a lightweight world title ahead of Valentino Rossi who was 18 years and 196 days old when he clinched the title in Brno in 1997. This is the first time a GASGAS rider has won the Moto3™ World Championship, and it’s also the first title for a non-Honda or a non-KTM rider in the class. Guevara has won seven times in Moto3™, and he is tied with Brad Binder and Sergio Garcia in ninth place on the list of riders with the most wins in Moto3™ since 2012. Guevara has stood 11 times on the podium so far in 2022, which is more than every else in the class. Izan Guevara is the seventh Spanish rider to win the Moto3™ title since the introduction of the class back in 2012, and the 16th Spanish rider to clinch the title in the lightweight category (the 23rd in GP racing).
