        The list of riders requiring winter surgeries grows. This time it was young Spaniard Daniel Holgado (Ajo KTM RedBull Moto3) who was in the operating theatre, after injuring himself while out training with a motorcycle on Wednesday morning. The result? A multifragmented fracture of his left tibia and a trip to Barcelona hospital to reduce the fracture. The operation, carried out yesterday by Dr Ignacio Ginebreda at the Clinica Dexeus in Barcelona, was a success and the rider will already be able to start his rehabilitation in coming weeks. The world championship is set to start in Qatar on 6 March, so Holgado has plenty of time to recover and be back in shape in time to make his Moto3 debut.

        Deniz Oncu out, Daniel Holgado in. Moto3 at Misano will see the CEV category leader riding the Red Bull Tech3 KTM, Herv&eacute; Poncharal&rsquo;s team having turned to the Spaniard following the Turk&rsquo;s disqualification. Having turned 16 on 27 April, the Alicante native currently leads the Junior world championship. He was already on track, in CIP colours, for the Montmel&ograve; round, where he scored his first championship point, and now he&rsquo;ll compete with the Austrian bike at the Marco Simoncelli track. And that&rsquo;s not all, because Oncu will not be at Portimao either, so Holgado will once again take his place. A great opportunity for a youngster who will be a permanent entry in the 2022 world championship? With who? With Red Bull Tech3 of course, the KTM team that&rsquo;s giving him two valid opportunities to make a good impression. Translated by Heather Watson Moto3, will the punishment inflicted on Deniz Oncu have an effect?

The Catalunya GP weekend gave us a thrilling Moto3 race, with no shortage of battles as well as some controversy and a few safety-related doubts.  Over the course of the weekend, aside the from usual frontrunners, Elia Bartolini and Daniel Holgado were also on track. The pair, the current leaders of the CIV and CEV championships in the same category, were standing in for injured riders Tatay and Kofler. And both the Italian and the Spaniard did very well, reaching the points zone and crossing the line in thirteenth (Bartolini) and fifteenth (Holgado) place.  Hotbeds of talent   It&rsquo;s no secret that the CEV, now a junior world championship to all intents and purposes, is a highly competitive series, as proved by Garcia and Alcoba, first and second in the race, or by current leader Pedro Acosta, all of whom hail from the same series, but it&rsquo;s also true that the CIV Moto3 is cultivating some high-level young talent, like Bartolini of course, or Surra, who faired well at Mugello.  The fact that Holgado can be competitive at a Spanish track like Barcelona comes as no surprise, just as it&rsquo;s clear he would have been holding something back, considering this weekend&rsquo;s CEV event at the same track, where he&rsquo;ll be seeking his fourth consecutive win. Nevertheless, it&rsquo;s impossible to ignore the fact that both the Spanish and Italian schools are operating at such a high level as to allow their leaders to score strong results also in the world championships, in the hope of securing a permanent seat as soon as possible.  Traslated by Heather Watson  MotoGP, Valentino Rossi and the retirement rumours: will he really leave in the summer?
