Silverstone awaits David Alonso and Ryusei Yamanaka for a final stretch of twelve races in just over three months

Silverstone will be the starting stage for the second phase of the season, the most intense of the year, with three and a half months of grand prix races on three continents and yet everything to be decided. The Dutch GP was a bad weekend for the category leader, Dani Holgado, and it has almost completely changed the situation in Moto3. The 41 points advantage with which he arrived at Assen went down to 16 due to Jaume Masià's victory there. None of the rest of the favourites failed and now there are five riders separated by just 31 points, a distance slightly bigger than one race, when there are still twelve to be raced. Holgado, Masià, Ayumu Sasaki, Iván Ortolá and Deniz Öncü: five names and one destiny, the Moto3 world champion title.

The Gaviota GASGAS Aspar opens the second half of the season with renewed hopes and the desire to continue adding joy in the form of podiums in these last months of the year. The British Grand Prix begins the countdown to Valencia, a countdown that will pass through Austria, Barcelona and San Marino before heading to Southeast Asia, with stops included in Australia and Qatar. Eight of the twelve circuits are unknown to David Alonso, including Silverstone. Despite this, the young Colombian rider, who is thirty points off the top 5 overall, will continue working to gain experience and grow as a rider in his debut season in the World Championship. On the other side of the garage, Ryusei Yamanaka resumes activity after five weeks off with the aim of starting to climb positions in the general standings from this very Sunday. The Japanese, who was eighth last year at Silverstone, hopes to return to the path of results from the early part of the season, where he got several top 10 placements.

David Alonso: “We start the second part of the season after five weeks in which we have had time to disconnect, but also to prepare ourselves to be able to come back stronger, because this second half is a little more intense than the first. At Silverstone, the first thing we'll have to do is get back the feelings with the bike, after not getting on the gas for so long, and learn the circuit well. The track is new to me and is also one of the longest in the championship. We need to get the references well, and we will do so by doing as many laps as possible. We have to work all weekend to be able to enjoy the race.”

Ryusei Yamanaka: “I have good memories of last year's British Grand Prix – it was my first time on the front row. I have good potential and I like the track, so I will fight to get on the podium, because that must always be the goal. We have to improve in practice and in qualifying to be able to have an easier race”.
