The team Aspar team He is having a very bad time this week because of the terrible Dana that has hit Valencia, his land, and is causing a lot of material and, above all, human damage. It’s been a very difficult week with sport taking a backseat but if there’s one thing cycling can do, it’s bring a bit of joy to really tough times. And that’s what he got David Alonso. The Colombian made history by achieving victory number 13, or 12+1 as Ángel Nieto would say, of the season in 19 races. A record dedicated to all Valencians just one second after the 18-year-old driver crossed the finish line.
In this victory It is now six in a row for David Alonso and he equals another record held in the minor category by Valentino Rossi since 1997. A legendary season for a driver called upon to do great things. Furusato and Rueda joined him on the podium.
Holgado’s crash almost finished Alonso
While the front was very quiet, the drama came with 14 laps to go. On turn 13 Dani Holgado connects with Ortola and the second of the World Cup hits out of his ears‘. The Alicante native stayed in the middle of the line and forced David Alonso to move away to avoid hitting him and the world champion dropped to 13th place.
As if that wasn’t enough, Adrián Fernández was unable to capitalize on the first pole of his life when he suffered engine trouble one lap later with his Honda and was forced to retire on the next lap.
From then on Kelso and Furusato looked to run away from the lead but David Alonso set to work on his comeback and with nine laps remaining he was third, close behind the leaders, also joined by Ortolà.
With three laps remaining, Alonso took advantage of braking at turn 15 to launch himself at Furusato. They both have the fastest speed and the Japanese tried in every way possible. But David wants that 12+1 victory no matter what so he can dedicate it to the team and Valencia. He occupied all the slots and the Japanese had to settle for second place. Finally, a Rueda who went from less to more completed the podium in another good result for the Andalusian.
