The Spanish rider from the MT Helmets – MSI team has clinched his first podium of the season at the second round of the Moto3 World Championship, using Galfer Floatech® brake discs and Racing G1310 sintered brake pads.
It’s the second round of the 2024 season and the second podium for Galfer riders in the MotoGP World Championship.

With these results, Ortolá sits third overall in the standings, 22 points behind the leader, while Joel Kelso is sixth.
