Banco Santander is reinforcing its commitment to Santander’s sporting talent by supporting Brian Uriarte in his debut season in the Moto3 World Championship and accompanying his development in one of the most demanding competitions in the world of motorcycle racing. Having already made a name for himself in the junior categories, the 17-year-old Spanish rider is one of motorcycle racing’s rising stars and is just coming out an extraordinary season. In 2025, he was crowned FIM JuniorGP World Champion and Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup Champion. Thanks to his quick adaptation to the Moto3 World Championship, Uriarte has been competing at the front of the pack since the very start of his career in the championship, managing to secure a victory and a second-place finish in the first half of the 2026 season alone. This demonstrates the rapid and steady growth of the Santander native, and it also confirms his potential. The agreement with Banco Santander is designed to support Brian during a crucial phase of his career and includes the brand’s logo on his helmet throughout his rookie season in the Moto3 World Championship. “I'm very happy and grateful to have the support of Banco Santander during such an important season, like my debut in the World Championship. I'm proud to represent my hometown and to have the backing of a world-renowned institution like Banco Santander,” Uriarte commented. "The first half of the season has been very positive. The work we’re doing together with the team is allowing us to achieve the goals we’ve set for ourselves and to continue making progress at every Grand Prix. Having the support and trust of Banco Santander gives me even more motivation to keep working hard, learn, and give it my all in every race.”
