QATAR GP

New desert adventure for the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team

Dani Holgado and David Alonso want to continue scoring points and gaining experience in Qatar before the European rounds 

 

After a challenging but positive weekend in Austin, the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team riders are ready for the fourth round of the season. The Qatar Grand Prix awaits the riders in the intermediate category, with Dani Holgado and David Alonso eager to take another step forward and consolidate the progress made in recent races. Holgado arrives at the Lusail International Circuit as the best rookie in a category that has a new leader: former Aspar Team rider Jake Dixon, who has back-to-back victories to his name. Holgado, who has not finished outside the top ten in any of the Grand Prix races this season, is hungry for more at a circuit where he finished second last season in Moto3 and wants to fight, at least, for the top five positions on Sunday.  The Spanish rider is eighth in the overall standings after a great start to his first season in the intermediate category.  

David Alonso left the United States with his first Moto2 points in his pocket. The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider is working very hard to better understand the riding in the new category and to adapt as well as possible to it. In the Americas GP race he was able to take a step forward and could move up some positions to finish in fourteenth. The reigning Moto3 World Champion, who won last year's Moto3 race in Qatar, has his sights set on continuing to improve this weekend. 

 

Dani Holgado: “I like the Qatar GP circuit and there I think we can do well if we keep working in this line. COTA was a bit more complicated due to the conditions, but we have always had positive results there, both in wet and dry conditions. The most important thing is to continue like this, I have improved in many aspects compared to Argentina and I continue to gain experience in a very complicated category. Little by little I'm understanding a lot more and I'm on a very good line.” 

David Alonso: “In Qatar we will continue with last weekend’s dynamic, to understand and confirm what we have already learnt. I have more control over how to stop the bike well, and now we come to a circuit with a lot of corners where you must turn on the throttle and slide, like in Argentina. There we saw what we were lacking, and this weekend will be a good opportunity to work on these points, that's our goal.”
