David Alonso and CFMOTO Aspar Team will move up to Moto2

The young Colombian rider leads the Moto3 World Championship by 75 points with eight races to go.

For Alonso, this will be his 8th season with the Aspar Team since he made his debut with the team in 2018, in the Spanish Championship. In this period, and to date, Alonso has become champion three times: he won the Spanish 85GP title in 2018, the European Talent Cup in 2020 and the Red Bull Rookies Cup in 2021. After two seasons in JuniorGP, Alonso moved up to the Moto3 World Championship at the age of 16.

In his debut year, Alonso already took 4 wins and a total of eight podiums that allowed him to finish third in the championship, 29 points off the champion. In 2024 he has become the benchmark rider in the category, with 7 wins in the first twelve races and with the largest lead in all the World Championship categories.

David Alonso: “I think it's the perfect time to move up to Moto2. This year we are showing our strength and now, with this, the goal will be to jump to the intermediate category with the Moto3 title. I am proud to be able to take this step with the CFMOTO Aspar Team, it is more than a team for me, it is my second family. They trusted me at the end of 2017, in the Spanish Championship, when I was eleven years old, and together we have achieved everything. I want to continue growing with them and getting more successes.”

Jorge Martínez “Aspar”: “David is the greatest exponent of the work we have been doing with the young riders in recent years and it is a joy to be able to say that next year he will be one of our riders in Moto2. He has grown with us and is now at a very high level in Moto3. We hope to finish the year with the title and that he can make the jump to Moto2 as world champion.”
