Talent to Spare, From Asphalt to Glory
David Salvador began his career in Spain in 2010, training at the KSB Madrid school. Since then, the Spaniard has accumulated successes: Minimotos and Minimotard champion in Madrid, Supermotard and Minimotos alevin champion of Castile... Salvador continued his momentum by winning the Spanish Cradle of Champions championship in MiniGP140 2016 and the Minivelocidad PromoGP140 championship in 2015, then in PreMoto4 in 2016. In 2017, he placed second in the RFME CEV PreMoto3 before continuing to impress by joining the European Talent Cup in 2018. He finished third thanks to four podiums in his first season. The following year, he split his time between the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, where he secured three podiums, including a victory, and the JuniorGP. Although his first experience was not crowned with success, Salvador showed a lot of potential in the category over the next two seasons, with four Top 3 finishes and a fifth place in the overall standings for his third season.
Salvador, Resilient and Conquering
In 2020, he placed sixth in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup and in 2021, the Rivacold Snipers team called him in as a replacement for two races. Salvador secured a full-time contract for 2022, but had to withdraw before the season started, although he still participated in five races during the year under different colors. In 2023, the Spaniard finally lined up full-time on the grid with the CIP Green Power team led by Alain Bronec. Hampered by a knee injury sustained at the Indian Grand Prix, the Spaniard missed the two rounds in Indonesia and Japan, finishing his only full season in 21st position in the championship. For 2024, the Madrilenian joined the World Supersport 300 championship riding a Yamaha of the MS Racing. He injured his arm at Magny-Cours, missed the next round in Aragon, but made a triumphant return at the Jerez finale by winning Race 1. Galvanized by this great end of the season, the Madrilenian left the MS Racing and Yamaha to join the Prodina Racing team and Kawasaki in 2025.
