Ivan Ortola competed for the first time in 2016, and just three years later, he began to stand out in the European Talent Cup, where he won three races. During the following season, he finished runner-up to Izan Guevara. However, he was unable to maintain this status for a second year, as he was beaten by the Alonso - Van den Goorbergh - Ferrandez trio despite five podium finishes. The Valencian rider also scored five podiums in the Red Bull MotoGP™ Rookies Cup, including a victory at Aragón. In 2021, he would combine this programme with the FIM CEV Repsol in Moto3™. He was 4th and 2nd, respectively, with very promising results, enough to convince the MTA team to offer him a seat in the Moto3™ World Championship in 2022. Ortola had an impressive rookie campaign in the class, cracking the point-scoring positions more often than not, and during the 2023 season, Ortola clinched his first two victories in the World Championship at the Grand Prix of the Americas and Spain. Additionally, he secured a podium finish in the Valencia GP, concluding the season with a commendable sixth place overall. Guided by MT Helmets - MSI, he emerged as a title contender at the start of the season, claiming his first podium of the season at the Portuguese GP before clinching his first win of the year at Assen. Ortola finished fourth in the World Championship standings, earning him a spot in Moto2™ as he moves to the intermediate category with MT Helmets – MSI in 2025.
