The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team is aiming to be competitive once again at the thirteenth round of the season
The riders of the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team have enjoyed a short break before competing in another race on Spanish soil. The MotorLand Aragón circuit awaits Dani Holgado and David Alonso, who are keen to fight for the podium once again following a British Grand Prix that saw very mixed results for Jorge Martínez “Aspar”’s team. The Spaniard battled for victory right to the end in one of the most epic Moto2 races in recent memory, but missed out on the podium, finishing fourth following an incident with the category leader on the final lap. Holgado remained in good spirits despite not taking home a trophy, and this weekend he aims to continue fine-tuning the details to maintain the same level of performance. The Aragon circuit holds fond memories for the Spaniard, as it was there that he secured his first World Championship podium in 2021, when he finished third. His team-mate David Alonso heads into this round with a clearer focus following the British round, where he had to constantly struggle to find a good riding feel and finished outside the points. The Aragón circuit is one of the few where a podium finish has so far eluded him, although he came close in 2024, when he finished fourth. The Colombian will return to work determined to turn the situation around and aim to be as competitive as possible right from the first session.
Manu González continues to lead the Moto2 overall standings. Following his mistake at Silverstone, where he could only score two points (he now has a total of 197.5 points), his lead over second-placed Izan Guevara has been reduced to 42.5 points. Senna Agius occupies third place and is 19 points behind Guevara. In fourth place, just two and a half points behind, is Iván Ortolá. As for the riders from the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team, Holgado is fifth with 128 points and Alonso is sixth with 116 points.
Dani Holgado: “I’m really looking forward to getting to Aragón. It’s another home Grand Prix for us and that gives us extra motivation. The last race at Silverstone went very well for us and I’m very pleased with the work we’ve done. I want more: we’re in a great place right now because I can see that the work we’re putting in is paying off, and that’s very satisfying for everyone. Our enthusiasm remains undiminished and we’re going to keep building on this to try and have a great weekend.”
David Alonso: “We’re arriving in Aragón well prepared to push hard right from the first lap. The weekend at Silverstone was a tough one for us, but we’ve learnt our lesson from situations like that. The aim will be to have a good base and work on that set-up so we don’t complicate things more than necessary and can be competitive again.”
