The young Colombian rider leads the Moto3 World Championship by 75 points with eight Grand Prix remaining
MADRID, 3 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The current leader of the Moto3 World Championship, Colombian David Alonso, will move up to Moto2 with the CFMoto Inde Aspar Team in the 2025 season, the team announced in a statement the former Spanish rider.
David Alonso, who leads the Moto3 World Championship by 75 points with eight races remaining in the season, thus becomes the first rider to complete the Aspar Team’s training ladder, from the Spanish Championship to the Moto2 category.
For Alonso, this will be his eighth season with the Aspar Team since he made his debut with the team in 2018, in the Spanish Championship. During this period, Alonso has been crowned champion on three occasions: he won the national 85GP title in 2018, the European Talent Cup in 2020 and the Red Bull Rookies Cup in 2021. After two seasons in JuniorGP, Alonso moved up to the Moto3 World Championship at the age of 16.
In his debut year, Alonso already had four wins and eight podiums, which allowed him to finish third in the championship, 29 points behind the champion. In 2024, he has become the benchmark driver in the category, with seven wins in the first twelve races and with the largest lead of all the World Championship categories.
For David Alonso, it is the “perfect time” to move up a category. “This year we are showing our strength in Moto3 and now, with this confirmation, the goal will be to move up to the intermediate category with the championship title. It is an honour to be able to take this step with the CFMoto Aspar Team, it is more than a team for me, it is my second family. They trusted me at the end of 2017, in the Spanish Championship, when I was eleven years old, and together we have achieved everything. I want to continue growing with them and adding more successes,” he added.
Former rider Jorge Martínez ‘Aspar’ said that Alonso is the “greatest example” of the work the team has been doing with its youth squad in recent years. “It’s a joy to be able to say that next year he will be one of our Moto2 riders. He has grown with us and has reached a very high level in Moto3. We hope to finish the year with the title and that he can make the jump to Moto2 as world champion,” he said.
