Galfer-equipped riders won both Moto2 and Moto3 at Brno on the same Sunday, as the MSi Racing Team carried Iván Ortolá to the Moto2 victory and Hakim Danish to the Moto3 win. The Spanish brake manufacturer supplied the braking systems on both machines, pairing its Floatech Racing JCW1 discs with Racing G1310 sintered pads. Galfer reports the double on the high-load Czech circuit ranks among the team’s most significant results.
Highlights
- Iván Ortolá won Moto2 and Hakim Danish won Moto3 at Brno on the same day, both riding for the MSi Racing Team.
- Ortolá’s bike ran Galfer Floatech Racing JCW1 brake discs; Danish’s ran Galfer Racing G1310 sintered brake pads.
- Galfer reports the discs hold consistent bite under the sustained thermal load generated by Brno’s long straights and heavy braking zones.
Ortolá Takes Moto2 on Late Braking
Brno punishes imprecise braking, with long straights feeding into technical corners that demand stopping the bike from high speed with both power and modulation. Galfer says Ortolá used that to his advantage, attacking braking points later than his rivals through the race on discs the company describes as resistant to fading under extreme thermal stress. He managed his pace and crossed the line first.
“It was a perfect race. The feeling with the bike was incredible from the very first lap and we were able to push to the limit throughout the whole race. Trusting the brakes on a circuit like this changes everything.” — Iván Ortolá
According to Galfer, the Floatech Racing JCW1 discs are built to hold consistent bite across a full race distance without losing effectiveness as heat builds, a margin the company frames as the difference between winning and a podium on a high-thermal-load circuit.
Danish Controls Moto3 From the Front
In Moto3, where overtaking turns on braking later than the rider ahead, Danish got a clean start, moved into the leading positions in the opening meters and managed the race from there. Galfer credits its pads for the precision behind each braking point and change of direction, citing a progressive, predictable response across operating temperatures. His rivals could not find a way past.
“This is a result I had dreamt of and one the team deserves. We have worked incredibly hard this week. When you fully trust the material you’re running, you can take risks where others dare not.” — Hakim Danish
The company says its Racing G1310 sintered competition pads deliver a linear response curve that lets a rider modulate pressure precisely, which it identifies as central to the late-braking and overtaking moves that decide Moto3 races.
Years of Galfer–MSi Development
Galfer frames the Brno double as the product of months of joint work among riders, engineers and technical suppliers rather than talent alone. The company has supplied and fine-tuned the MSi Racing Team’s braking systems, a partnership it has sustained for several seasons and says includes adapting each configuration to the demands of individual circuits. Both riders finished on the top step at Brno, a result Galfer points to in positioning itself within competition braking.
