Unai Calatayud's promising path to the top level
Born on January 31, 2004, in Bicorp, Spain, Unai Calatayud first made a name for himself at home, notably in the Spanish Superbiker Championship (ESBK). Winner of the Yamaha R3 bLU cRU on his home soil in 2022, he finished as runner-up in the Spanish Supersport 300 in 2023. He made his debut on the world stage in 2022 with the ARCO MotoR University team, competing in two races, then eight in 2023.
Calatayud, from revelation to ambition
He recorded a ninth-place finish as his best result that year. Last year, still with the same team, he achieved his first podium at Assen (Race 1) and clinched victory at Magny-Cours (Race 1), despite difficult conditions. In 2025, he continues with the same team, aiming to fight for the crown. The Spaniard will be supported by a very promising young teammate, Gonzalo Sanchez, who is also rider SHARK.
