The CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team rider will fight to return to the top of the podium and face the flyaway races with even more margin

Misano hosts another GP this season. Two weeks after the San Marino GP, the Italian track hosts the Emilia - Romagna GP, the fourteenth round of the season and the last before the World Championship heads to Asia and Oceania. This weekend, CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team rider David Alonso returns to the Misano World Circuit – Marco Simoncelli with a clear objective: to make up for the race two weeks ago. The Moto3 World Championship leader was the strongest throughout the weekend, leading two of the three practice sessions, breaking the track record and taking pole position. In the race, he fought for victory until the last lap, when another rider hit him twice and ended with all his options. Alonso finished seventh, but this week he wants to get back on the top step of the podium on a track where he already did so last year. The young Colombian will fight to increase his World Championship lead after two races outside the podium. The CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team rider has a 70-point advantage over his closest rival, Dani Holgado, and 73 over the third and fourth-placed riders, Iván Ortolá and Collin Veijer.

CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team rider Joel Esteban will contest his second race in Misano this weekend. In his debut there, at the San Marino GP, Esteban struggled to adapt to the characteristics of the track and, in the race, after going off the track on the first lap, he could only finish in twenty-second position. At the Emilia-Romagna GP, Esteban will work to apply everything he learned on his first visit to the Italian track and be able to take a step forward that would allow him to fight in the points zone.

David Alonso: “We are going into the second consecutive race in Misano trying, as always, to learn from the previous weekend. We want to maintain what has gone well and improve those aspects in which we have margin. We must be more attentive and active in the final laps, there are several riders fighting for victory and each time the rivals make it more difficult. It is always necessary to bring out the best version of oneself: on Sunday we will have to know how to handle ourselves better in the moments when we are at the limit, in the moments of hand-to-hand combat.”

Joel Esteban: “We are back in Misano. I have worked hard to understand the mistakes I made there two weeks ago, because we were not able to be fast. We are going to work harder than ever to get back to where we were.”
