Early Career

[edit | edit source]

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]

Almansa made wild card appearances in the 3 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 2 starts, he had a best result of 20th, coming in his first one at Jerez.[15]

Due to an injury sustained by Romano Fenati, Almansa was called up to race for the Rivacold Snipers Team, racing for his 4th manufacturer in 5 starts, 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]
