David Alonso is well on his way to clinching the Moto3 title. With more than half of the season still ahead (11 out of 20 races), his performance in the first part of the year (up to the summer break) has been nothing short of impressive.
In nine rounds, the Colombian rider for CFMoto Aspar has secured six victories and only missed the top five once, finishing 11th in Spain. He also boasts four pole positions. Leading the championship, Alonso has amassed 179 points, significantly ahead of second-placed Iván Ortolá (MT Helmets-MSi/KTM), who has 121 points.
With nine Grands Prix remaining, the title is far from guaranteed for Alonso. However, this strong start surpasses even that of Pedro Acosta, who had “only” four wins in the first nine races of his rookie 2021 season. Alonso is in his second season, making his achievements even more notable.
Since the inception of Moto3 in 2012, no rider has managed six wins in the first nine rounds of a season. This period has seen talented riders like Álex Márquez, Brad Binder, Fabio Quartararo, Francesco Bagnaia, Joan Mir, Jorge Martín, and Maverick Viñales pass through the category. Alonso’s current form is unprecedented, setting him apart in the annals of Moto3 history.
For now, everything is going smoothly for Alonso, who is also part of an experienced team like Aspar. Starting from the British GP, the rider will aim to keep his form, and if he succeeds, he might secure the championship title early. However, it is important to emphasize that nothing is won yet. It is crucial to maintain good performance and consistency while avoiding injuries, which can occur.
