Jaume Masià Vargas (born 31 October 2000) is a Spanish motorcycle rider who currently competes in the 2026 Supersport World Championship for Orelac Racing Verdnatura. His most notable achievements are winning the 2023 Moto3 World Championship and consequently having a corner at Circuit Ricardo Tormo named after him.

Career Early career

Between 2015 and 2017, Masià competed in the FIM CEV Moto3 Junior Championship, finishing second overall to Dennis Foggia in his final season. He previously competed in the 2014 Red Bull Rookies Cup.

Moto3 World Championship Masià made his Moto3 World Championship debut as a replacement for the injured Darryn Binder during the 2017 season, setting the fastest lap in his debut race. His impressive debut in Moto3 earned him a ride for the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

2019 saw Masià's first pole position and win at the second round in Argentina.

Leopard Racing (2020) In 2020, Masià moved to the Leopard Racing team in what was considered a promotion with the team having won the championship in 2019. He got a pair of wins but couldn't fight for the championship that year, finishing sixth overall with 140 points and three podiums.

Red Bull KTM Ajo (2021–2022) For the 2021 and 2022 season, Masià raced with the established Red Bull KTM Ajo team where he continued to have successes across both seasons, winning a total of three races and achieving multiple podium finishes, he achieved his best championship position of fourth in 2021.

Return to Leopard Racing (2023) 2023 saw Masià move back to the Leopard Racing team. In this season, Masia become the Moto3 world champion, winning three races in his way to the title, he also achieved ten podiums and six pole positions, the best numbers since he joined the championship. He clinched the title with a race to spare in the Qatar Grand Prix, being his last win and podium of the season.

Moto2 World Championship Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team (2024) Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team officially decided on their rider line-up for 2024. Masia would make his Moto2 debut in the 2024 season, teaming up with Bo Bendsneyder who was in his third year with the team.

The season didn't go as expected, as the team changed name and ownership in the middle of the season, becoming the Preicanos Racing Team, his best result was only a 13th place in the Catalan Grand Prix, his home race.

Preicanos Racing Team (2025) Masià joined the Preicanos Racing Team for the 2025 season to race in the Moto2. However, the contract failed due to the Preicanos team which then disbanded without any clarity.

This meant he was without a ride only a year after being crowned Moto3 world champion, as every other Moto2 team had their lineups complete.

Supersport World Championship

Orelac Racing Verdnatura (2025–) Masià joined the Orelac Racing Verdnatura team, riding a Ducati Panigale V2 at WorldSSP 2025. He was successful almost instantly, getting a win at the fifth round of the season in Most. He finished the season in third place with a win in the last round, as the best rookie, and best placed Ducati rider.

Masià renewed his contract with Orelac Racing Verdnatura team for the 2026 season, where he is currently placed third in the standings with three wins to his name and several podiums.
