Not even a long lap penalty from Q2 could prevent a seventh victory out of eleven possible for the brilliant 18-year-old driver called David Alonso which does nothing but add victories and in every possible way. He learns quickly and does it smartly, listening to his seniors and around him in the CF Moto Aspar box there are so many expert people.
The World Championship leader – 53 points against Ortolá before Sunday’s race and now has 71 – was in trouble due to a slow ride due to trying to question those trying to catch his tire and he suffered a long lap of penalty that will compromise his result this Sunday depending on the speed imposed. He started sixth on the grid and after completing a long lap he dropped to tenth place with 4″1 lost at the head of the race.
And whose career was definitely cut short, it was for the pole sitter and second in the World Championship. Ivan Ortola, with technical problems on the grid, had to leave the pitlane. When he entered the race he was second to last with 12″ to lose from the lead.
Australian Joel Kelso found himself leading the race ahead of Muñoz and Holgado from the third lap and had gained almost a second on Rueda and Veijer, his pursuers. And behind them, Alonso cut the time lost due to the penalty in half in just three laps.
From the eighth lap, Dani Holgado took over and Veijer and Rueda reached the top trio. One lap later, two of the sanctioned drivers, Alonso and Piqueras, entered. From the back, thanks to a fast lap, Ortolá is in 16th place, 9.8 from the lead.
With 10 remaining, Veijer, one of the fastest drivers of the weekend, led the race and stretched the field now to eight drivers. After two laps Ortolá was in the points and five from the end he progressed to the head of the chasing group for ninth place after cutting the leading group by 6″.
With six remaining, David Alonso took the lead and picked a quintet with Muñoz, Holgado, Piqueras and Veijer. The Colombian Hispanic entered the final lap in the lead and at turn 1 he went out onto the green Muñoz pushed by a rival. Leader Alonso closed the door well against Holgado, the one who was the most stubborn and lost second place at the finish line by 5 thousandths at the expense of Muñoz who recovered from leaving the track. Piqueras, who Muñoz made a hard blow in lane 8, was 85 thousandths away from the podium. In the end Ortolá was ninth and although he retained second position, he was now 71 points behind the Aspar driver.
And good celebration of ‘the Parce’, with a little long lap dance to the rhythm of Argentine rapper Trueno and then he wanted to remember Stephen Curry’s Olympic gold celebration, being a great follower of NBA and Olympic basketball that he is.
