From Alicante in Spain, Daniel Holgado’s first time on a motorcycle was at 4 years old at the Alicante’s Circuit where his father used to take him to train and grow his potential day by day. At six years old, he started to compete in the Spanish Minimoto Championship and conquered the title of Spanish Champion in his first year.

Excelling on two wheels,  “Dani” quickly earned a reputation as a talented young rider and secured a place in the European Talent Cup in 2018, a series in which he was rewarded with a podium and an 11th place finish.

The following year marked his debuts in the Moto3 class of the FIM CEV Repsol Championship, where he spent three seasons. His first season impressed as he finished sixth overall. In 2021, he moved to the Openbank Aspar Team and finished fifth of the championship, before exploding in 2021, at the end of which he was crowned Champion with five victories and three more top three finishes.  At the same time, he also achieved good results in the Red Bull MotoGP™ Rookies Cup, finishing 5th and 3rd in the 2020 and 2021 editions. 

The Moto3 Junior World Champion signed a deal with Red Bull KTM Ajo for 2022 as he made his debuts in the Moto3™ World Championship.  Although his rookie season was hampered slightly by a leg break in pre-season and for his sophomore campaign, he claimed his first pole position in Austria, and a first podium in Aragon. His 110 points placed him tenth in the World Championship.

In 2023, he is switching to Red Bull KTM Tech3, and with no doubt will look to improve from his tenth position.
