Moto3 World Championship: Debut and development
David Almansa made his first appearance in the Moto3 World Championship circuit before his full entry: he rode several wildcard races between 2022 and 2023.
For the 2024 season, he signed a contract with the Snipers team and had his first full Moto3 year. However, the season did not get off to an easy start: he suffered an injury early on, which affected his performance. His best result of the season was 11th place and he finished the year in 22nd place in the overall standings.

- He took his first pole position in Moto3 at the GP of Catalonia (Barcelona Circuit) .
- In Termas de Río Hondo (Argentina) , he set a new lap record in free practice.
- In the race, he showed growing consistency and speed: in Argentina, he led several laps and ultimately finished in 6th place.
