Estrella Galicia 0,0 rider Jorge Navarro was second in the race at Valencia and confirmed his progression this season as the 'Rookie of the Year'. Navarro concludes seventh overall in the general classification at the end of the season and as the top Spanish rider in Moto3. Quartararo was forced to retire from the race and therefore not classified.

"The 'Rookie of the Year' title shows the consolidation of Jorge Navarro in the World Championship"
|
"The whole Estrella Galicia 0.0 team are excited by how JorgeNavarro arrived at his home Grand Prix in strong form. Navarro, along with his technical team, has made great progress this season and today his podium, for me, was like winning the race as he managed it brilliantly. The most important thing is that this year Navarro has grown as a rider and the 'Rookie of the Year' title shows what we have achieved.

We must congratulate all the Estrella Galicia 0,0 team for the great job they have done throughout the year. All this began in preseason, with lots of tests and a lot of preparation, so this is the best way to end the season, with these good results and seeing again that we are helping a young rider to fulfill his dreams.
For Fabio Quartararo, it was a shame not to have finished the race. Now we have to analyze what happened in the race because during practice and qualifying he was hardly affected. So now we will study the reasons that led him to not finish this last race of the World Championship."

"I was trying to push as hard as possible, but I had to retire"
"Today was a difficult race because I was trying to push as hard as possible, but could not keep the pace, so when I saw that there were still 14 laps to go and with each one I was losing more and more time, I had to retire."

"I decided to gamble on the last corner"
"I am very pleased not only with the race, but with the whole weekend. Riding at home is always an extra motivation, but also gives you a bit of extra pressure. I rode very comfortably in the group and in the end I tried to attack. I saw that Miguel Oliveira also wanted to be in front and I decided to gamble on the final corner. However, my bike was skidding a bit on the entrance to the corner and I had no real chance of overtaking, so I preferred to stay second, which is also a good result.
The idea was to get away at the front with Miguel [Oliveira], since we both had good pace, so we could fight for victory between us, but I saw that he was unable to pull away in first two laps, so I changed the approach. I decided to save a bit for the last three laps. I am happy with second place and can not wait to start working for next year."
