The Spanish Aron Canet (Kalex) and Daniel Holgado (Gas Gas) they came to the Grand Prix of the Americas which this weekend will be held at the circuit QUOTA (Circuit of The Americas) in Austin like himleader of the respective Moto2 and Moto3 categories and, therefore, with the responsibility to defend that position as a primary objective.
Canet, The season didn’t start very wellwhile he finished tenth in Qatar, the situation was clearly changed in Portimao (Portugal), where achieved his first victory in the intermediate categorya result that will certainly allow him to arrive ‘full’ in the United States, although he will not be easy in front of long list of rivals you will meet on the track.
The first of them may be your own countrymen Manuel Gonzalez (Kalex), who was third in the championship, without forgetting Sergio Garcia Dolls, Alonso Lopez, race winner in Qatar and ‘zero’ in Portugal after suffering a fall when leading the raceor his teammate and another of the title contenders, Fermin Aldeguer.
Aldeguer, who? He has already resolved his immediate future by signing as a Ducati rider for 2025has not had a very good start to the season, especially considering that for many it is the clearest contender for the title, but the eleventh place it currently occupies is ‘forced’ to make a radical change in its beginning to the championship on the drivers at the top of the table will not lose ‘contact’ for the first time.
The American Joe Roberts (Kalex), second in the world championship, is another driver to consider, as is the British Jake Dixon (Kalex), student of the team of Jorge Martínez ‘Aspar’, who is not in Portugal after a bad fall and decided to give himself more time to fully recover, something he certainly hopes will happen in Austin.
There will be many more correct name with Moto2 optionslike Japanese Ai Ogura (Boscoscuro), the Thai Somkiat Chantrathe Belgian Barry Baltusthe Dutch Bo Bendsnyder and Zonta Van den Gooerbeghthe Italians Tony Arbolino and Celestino Vietti or the Spanish Marcos Ramírez, Albert Arenas either Jeremy Alcobathey are all on the paths of Kalex.
In Moto3, Daniel Holgado has once again had the same brilliant start to the season as last season, with a second and first place placing him in first place in the points tablebut very close is the Colombian of Spanish origin, David Alonso (CFMoto), another of the great candidates for the title, but they are not the only ones, as many riders have shown good potential in these first races of the 2024 campaign.
In that long list, the Spanish should be considered. Ivan Ortola (KTM) and Jose Antonio Rueda (KTM), for the first time, in addition to the Dutch Colin Veijer (Husqvarna), the Australian Joel Kelso (KTM), the Italians Stefano Nepa (KTM) and Riccardo Rossi (Honda), or the Japanese Taiyo Furusato (Honda) and Tatsuki Suzuki (KTM).
The list, however, is longer, because it should take into account drivers who have shown very good progress, despite being debutants, such as the Spaniards Joel Esteban (CFMoto) and Angel Piqueras (KTM) or the Australian Jacob Roulstone (Gas Gas), with more experienced pilots such as those also from Spain David Munoz (KTM), Adrian Fernandez (Honda) or Vicente Perez (KTM), among others.
