AUSTRALIAN GP

Australia, second chapter of the triple-header

David Alonso and Ryusei Yamanaka travel to Phillip Island, where the team won the Moto3 title in 2022

 

With no time to rest, the Moto3 riders are ready for another weekend of action. On this occasion, the World Championship visits Phillip Island, where GASGAS Aspar Team rider Izan Guevara became champion last year. This season, the title is still far from being decided. With 125 points up for grabs, there are still several riders with options to take the world crown. Among them, Jaume Masià, Ayumu Sasaki and Dani Holgado have the best chances. 17 points separate the top 3 in the standings, while Gaviota GASGAS Aspar rider David Alonso is still in the fight, although he is a little further back, 29 points off the leader. The Australian Grand Prix will once again test the contenders, who will have to manage the pressure and nerves to stay in the championship battle.

The flyaway races continue for the Gaviota GASGAS Aspar, this time in Australia. The team comes back to a special circuit looking forward to complete a great weekend. David Alonso arrives after achieving his fifth podium in the category, in a race in Indonesia in which he fought for the victory until the last corner. The Colombian is just 12 points off the top 3 in his first year in the World Championship and will try to keep shining at Phillip Island, where he will have to work hard from the first practice to adapt quickly to another unknown track for him. His Gaviota GASGAS Aspar teammate Ryusei Yamanaka heads into the Grand Prix with the aim of being competitive in every session. The Japanese rider will look to find a bike set-up which allows him to be fast from the first session and improve little by little until being well prepared for Sunday. Last year, Yamanaka couldn't finish the race, so this season he will try to redeem himself and fight for a great result.

 

David Alonso: “Phillip Island is another unknown track for me, but I think it is one of the fastest circuits in the championship. We will have to get a good set-up on the bike and be very focused on our riding. We will try to complete a lot of laps and get some references to understand the track quickly.”

Ryusei Yamanaka: “In Australia we will work hard from the first practice. We will try to get a good grid position in order to fight with the strongest in the race. I will give my all to achieve a good result.”
