Moto2 - Moto3

David Alonso - world champion

At the Japanese Grand Prix, David Alonso reaches another milestone with the Moto3 world title. He is also the first ever world champion by a Chinese constructor.

At the start of season 2024, David Alonso led four of the five days of pre-season and already had the script that would follow the category this year on paper. Victory in Qatar came as no surprise; victory in America was a positive. The wins in France, Barcelona and Italy were a message to the outside world: he had no intention of giving options. To no one.
With three rivals matched, three drivers snatching points from each other, Alonso's lead was growing little by little. The knock on the table in Germany, after hitting the ground running on Friday, was another important step on that road. The sense of superiority exuded by the Colombian, with six wins in nine races, began to spark rumours about whether he could surpass Joan Mir's 10 Moto3 victories in 2017 or Valentino Rossi's 11 wins in the lightweight class in 1997.The long faces after second place in Britain gave way to joy again with the triumph in Austria. Another win in Misano ended the doubts of Aragon and San Marino and allowed him to once again distance himself from his three rivals, who were already shooting towards the title, forcing them to rethink their goals until the end of the year. In Indonesia, he went from the ground, on Friday, to the sky, on Sunday. And now in Japan, where he arrived depending on himself to secure the title with four races to go, he has won the title as champions like to do, with a victory.

It has been a long road to win the Moto3 title and he has shared it with many people. Many of them have even been on the podium with him: Jorge, Nico, Mauri, Barabba, Óscar, Roger, Majo, Giagi, Paolo and Vicente. Without them, and many others, you would not be reading this text and he would not have celebrated the seventh world title in the light category in Japan for a master 125 / Moto3 team, the CFMOTO Aspar Team.

CFMOTO competes in the Moto2 and Moto3 World Championship in a partnership with Germany's Prüstel GP, which was started by former world champion Thomas Luthi.
