David Alonso adds his ninth victory and has his ‘match ball’

David Alonso is the best of Moto3. The 18-year-old driver recorded his ninth victory of the season in 15 races at Mandalika after a weekend it seems like he’s not that strong. But in the last lap he again showed how to manage a fight for victory. He now has 13 in the small category, equaling Romano Fenati as the driver with the most in history..

And if that’s not enough, If he adds three more points than Holgado, and does not lose six with Ortolá or eight with Veijer at Motegi, next week at the Japanese GP he will be able to celebrate a title. which deserves him like no other.

Adrián Fernández and David Muñoz They tried to launch their record of victories in the World Cup but had to complete the podium with second and third place, respectively.

The Long Laps

The start was relatively clean with Furusato stealing the purse from Ivan Ortola in first position. However, it didn’t take long to constantly change the lead with such a large group. Attention is focused Ortola, who had to complete the Double Long Lap. He made his first on the second lap and finished 19th. From above, Veijer pushed to try to destroy the group.

The MT Helmets MSi rider did the second Long Lap two laps after the first. He had moved up to 11th position and dropped back to 19th, 5 seconds behind the leader. The leading group is 10 pilots.

And with eight laps to go came a coup de theater. Collin Veijer lost his line in turn 8 and when he stepped into the dirt he lost control of his Husqvarna. ANDThe second in the World Cup went to the ground when he was in the lead. This would have been good news for Ortola, but the Valencian cut at turn 9 and was penalized with another Long Lap. Third in the race that ended a comeback that seemed lost mid-race.

Alonso’s lesson

And there are only three laps left to lead as usual. David Alonso appeared for the first time in the lead at the moment of truth and an intense battle began with eight drivers reaching the limit. Furusato lost control of his Honda in turn 1 and was thrown out of the pool.

when David Muñoz and Adrián Fernández are looking for their first victory, the World Cup leader shows them how to win an exciting race. Alonso managed to take the lead with half a lap remaining and pushed like there was no tomorrow to score his ninth victory of the season in 15 races.

With the rest of his competitors struggling, the Aspar Team player hit his first match ball of the season to become the champion and it’s too bad he has everything to give him if he doesn’t do it in Japan next week.

It is worth highlighting the sixth place of Holgado, who came into the race badly damaged by the serious accident he suffered in the very first practice sessions on Saturday. In its part, Ortolá managed to move up to ninth place after serving the three penalties.
