The Colombian Hispanic from the Valresa GasGas Aspar Team, David Alonso This Sunday he completed a perfect weekend at COTA in Austin where he led all classifications – he just missed the fastest lap in the race for Dani Holgado – to add the second victory of the year and cut his gap on two points with the leader Dani Holgado who finished second by 13 thousandths to the Valencian rookie Angel Piqueras that in his third Moto3 race he climbed to the podium and he recently arrived after surgery for a fracture in his right little finger.
A few hours before the start of the race, the Moto3 grid was rewritten after one of the favorites for victory Jose Antonio Rueda, who started second on the grid, had to undergo emergency surgery for appendicitis at an Austin hospital on Saturday night and by race time had been discharged and was on his way back to the hotel. And eight drivers saw how Race Direction sent them to the thinking corner with lap-long penalties – single and double – for finding tires in previous sessions and putting others at risk.
David Alonso He led all sessions and started from pole and Dani Holgado, leading by 7 points over Alonso at the start of the race, advanced alongside him, without Rueda. And the positions at the beginning are preserved. And before reaching the third sector, Kelso almost overtook Holgado and lost to second place. Alonso had put them by more than 8 tenths before the first step towards the finish line.
The Colombian Hispanic continued to raise the stakes and in three turns he was 3″ behind Holgado, leading a sextet that also included rookie Ángel Piqueras, wearing the same Leopard font worn by Joan Mir when he was champion in 2017 and started 17th on the grid the 4″ had already fallen by the fifth lap and they almost reached 5″ until Veijer took responsibility for the chasing group from the seventh lap and stabilized the difference in 3″5.
With six remaining, Veijer’s effort allowed him to cut to less than three seconds until the Dutchman fell four seconds from the end in the COTA esses and the incident left Piqueras 4″ 3 behind and he has one second left on Yamanaka and Holgado. Piqueras and Holgado It was impressively driven by the self-confidence of the rookie, brother of the girlfriend of another highly confident driver, Pedro Acosta, and after several overtaking of each other – they had both known each other since they were small and trained together – 13 thousandths separated them on the line.
