ABOUT XABI

The newest and youngest addition to the KTM GP Academy. Xabi comes into the Red Bull KTM Ajo structure as the rookie for 2024 but with a large of amount of hope and expectation around his possibilities. Zurutuza can follow the high-flying examples of Pedro Acosta, Daniel Holgado and Jose Rueda as first-timers that have stamped their presence in the hectic Moto3 pack. The leap from 18th to 6th position in just one year of FIM JuniorGP racing caught the eyes of many in Grand Prix. The 17-year-old made clear progress from 2022 to 2023 and added two JuniorGP victories to his CV (in Portugal and Catalunya) to really make his Basque surname jump out from the results sheets for Moto3 teams. A former national Supermoto champion, Xabi will be aiming to continue his upwards slide as his Moto3 career rockets up to pace.

ACHIEVEMENTS:

  • 2023 – 6th FIM JuniorGP World Championship
