David Alonso gives another championship lesson in Moto3’s agonizing finale
level of David Alonso in Moto3 It is one of the symbols of the birth of a star. The Colombian is a great leader in competition, including his performance in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Thanks to the advantage of being at the top of the overall rankings, the Aspar Team rider did not have to take any risks and once again achieved a sublime victory in a hard-fought race at Misano. Angel Piqueras and Daniel Holgado. They have already won 8 out of 14 races and are 79 points behind the leader.. It is an affront to de facto control that is unprecedented in history.
Piqueras was hoping for a second consecutive victory, but David did not give in and had to settle for second place on the podium. Things were even worse for Holgado. GasGas driver exceeds track limits and is stripped of third place I support Colin Bager.
Furi maintained his pole position at the start, and the Japanese racers managed to maintain their position despite a turbulent start. Piqueras had a poor start from third, causing David Alonso to make contact with Ortola. Things were even worse for D.An eager Muñoz who crashed at the first chicane.
Despite all this, the leaders had already changed after only a few laps. Alonso wanted to outperform Furusato and stretch the group at his own pace. Also chasing hard from behind was Dani Holgado, who overtook the Colombian and took the lead after 17 laps with a very large group of 15 drivers in tow.
A brutal rhythm that destroys the group
In effect, the wheat was separated from the chaff, and with 14 laps to go, Angel Piqueras, winner of the previous event in Misano, took the lead. But there was no way to destroy the group. Such was the equality that even the slightest mistake could result in a change of leader. To overtake, drivers had to take a lot of risks, and there were times when collisions like the one between Furi and Adrian Fernandes almost happened.
Alonso, Holgado and Piqueras were the ones who didn’t move. Actually, these three people have the most rhythm, With nine laps remaining, the fastest lap of the race (1:40.6) was set. We can finally narrow down our winning candidates.
As there was no overtaking, the laps were very fast and only Weyer was able to catch up with the three. A fierce battle for victory was expected as the season opened with two laps remaining. Holgado hits Alonso with an ax in turn 14 And Piqueras stuck to him to defeat the Colombians.
But the Aspar team players had no intention of staying with their arms crossed. On the final lap, at Turn 8, he passed two riders on the back straight and took first place again. Then it was time to defend, and he defended perfectly as usual. Piqueras tried anyway, but the World Cup leader did not give in and achieved his eighth victory of the year.
Ivan Ortola had to pay the price for being left behind in the group, and by the time he finished fifth, his rivals were already far away from seeking victory. He finally beat out Lunetta and Kelso to make it into the top five.
