Perspective
Early career
Quiles began actively racing at the age of 6. He was crowned champion of several national and international championships riding mini GP bikes between 2017 and 2019.[3]
He finished as championship runner-up in the 2020 Moto4 Spanish Superbike Championship at the age of 12, before joining the European Talent Cup.[4]
Quiles joined the European Talent Cup in 2021 and was crowned champion in his rookie season at just 13 years old.[5]
After his impressive 2021 European Talent Cup season, Quiles was selected to compete in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup for 2022. He claimed three wins and seven podiums throughout the season, securing third place in the standings.[6][7] He also participated in the 2022 European Talent Cup season, this time finishing fourth overall.
In 2023, Quiles clinched his second European Talent Cup title. Meanwhile, he finished third in the 2023 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup standings, matching his result from the previous season.
Quiles was promoted to the FIM JuniorGP World Championship for the 2024 season.[8] He secured four podiums and a win in the final round at Estoril, finishing in third place in the championship standings.[9]
In his third Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup season, he secured six podiums and two wins. Quiles received a one-round ban following a controversial incident in the Mugello Race 2.[10] On the final lap, he exited the last corner leading a pack of over ten riders and swerved across the main straight in an attempt to break the slipstream from the riders behind him. This maneuver caused a collision with Ruché Moodley, who, after a second contact with Álvaro Carpe, dangerously fell from his KTM RC250GP and was narrowly avoided by the chasing riders. Quiles apologized for the incident after the race. The ban caused him to miss the next two Assen rounds, costing him the championship lead.[11] He ultimately finished fifth in the final standings.
Moto3 World Championship
CFMoto Aspar Team (2025)
On 15 November 2024, Aspar Team announced Quiles as their Moto3 rider for the 2025 season, alongside Dennis Foggia.[12] He missed the first two rounds of the season due to being under the age limit for riders who have finished in the top 3 in the JuniorGP.[13]
Personal life
At some point in his youth career, Quiles dropped his paternal surname, Martínez, for his maternal one, Quiles. He explained how he didn't want his initials to resemble Marc Marquez's.[14]
