The ‘Next Big Thing’ takes notes
Perhaps the level of competition wasn’t so fierce, but the ranking speaks for itself as does the bombastic second half of 2023: David Alonso he is a crystal clear talent and has everything to be equated with phenomena like Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta, results in hand. The Colombian born in 2006 won the Moto3 title with four races to spare because he has more than 100 points ahead of second in the standings, Daniel Holgado.
The rider from Aspar Martinez’s team will move up to Moto2 within the same team in 2025 and it will be interesting to follow the growth of this rider. Jorge Martin has no doubts that in three years David Alonso will be in MotoGP and Marc Marquez is convinced that he will be on the grid with him (a prediction that therefore includes a continuation of Marc Marquez in MotoGP beyond the two-year contract signed with the official Ducati team for 2025 and 2026).
Francesco Bagnaia commented on David Alonso’s achievement as follows, underlining how the Colombian driver is proving to be a sponge ready to ‘steal’ every secret from the big shots in the paddock: “Winning ten races is crazy, I’m very happy for him and for the team because the mechanics are the same ones who worked with me in the Moto3 days and they deserve all these satisfactions – Bagnaia’s words reported by the Spanish newspaper Brand – Alonso is the master of the final laps, he is the strongest. Not everyone can win a title with four races to spare. In Aragon he asked me what I ate and in Japan he asked me what I ate for breakfast. He’s gathering information. Not all young people do it.”
