The CFMOTO Aspar Team rider has won his third consecutive race and has a 37-point advantage at the top of the standings.
CFMOTO Aspar Team rider David Alonso has scored at the Italian GP his fifth victory of the season. The Colombian, who took pole position yesterday in Mugello, was the clear favourite and has not disappointed. Alonso has made a great start and has maintained first position in the opening laps. However, after the first four laps, the crash of Filippo Farioli and Xabi Zurutuza has made race direction to stop the race. The race has resumed with only eleven laps remaining. The CFMOTO Aspar Team rider has started again from first position, but his rivals have not made it easy for him. Six riders have battled in the leading group and have exchanged the first places, among them, Collin Veijer, Ryusei Yamanaka, Taiyo Furusato, David Muñoz and Iván Ortolá. With four laps to go, Alonso has taken the lead of the race and has not left it. The Colombian has been able to open a gap at the front on a track where races have traditionally been held in groups until the end, and although Veijer has shown great pace in the last laps and has got closer, he has not been able to beat Alonso. The CFMOTO Aspar Team has crossed the finish line 0.132 ahead of Veijer. Third has been Yamanaka, more than a tenth off. With this victory, Alonso extends his lead in the World Championship to 37 points, in a race in which his main rival, Dani Holgado, has only been able to finish fourteenth after having to complete two long laps. CFMOTO Aspar Team leads the Teams World Championship with a 30-point advantage over the second-placed.
CFMOTO Aspar Team rider Joel Esteban has finished in eighteenth position in Mugello after a difficult weekend. The rookie has started from nineteenth place and has had to complete a double log lap penalty that has hampered his chances. The Spanish has done the first long lap before the red flag, so in the second race he has started from twentieth place. Esteban has tried to comeback until the last moment and, on the last lap, an incident with another rider when he was sixteenth has relegated him to eighteenth position. Esteban hopes to fight again in the front group in the next race, the Dutch GP, which will be held in three weeks
Joe Roberts has achieved his first victory of the season at the Italian GP. The American has started from pole and has been very strong at all times, but his victory has not been easy. Alonso López, Manu González and Aron Canet have fought with him for victory in a race that has been reduced to twelve laps due to the delay in Moto3. Roberts has crossed the finish line first only 0.067 thousandths ahead of González. The podium has been completed by López, who has finished nine tenths off. The World Championship leader, Sergio García, has ended fourth after overtaking Canet and his teammate Ai Ogura on the last lap. With this result, Roberts closes the gap in the standings with García and is only seven points behind the lead.
CFMOTO Aspar Team rider Izan Guevara has achieved in Mugello his best result so far this season. The Spanish has finished in eighth position after starting from thirteenth place. Guevara has made a great start, has shown a great pace from the beginning and has been able to cross the finish line in eighth position, three seconds off the winner. His teammate Jake Dixon has been twelfth at the Italian GP. The CFMOTO Aspar Team rider has started from fifteenth, but on the first lap he has dropped to twenty-first position. As the laps have gone by, Dixon has progressed little by little and has been able to climb to twelfth place. Mugello race has been the first one this year in which both CFMOTO Aspar Team riders have scored points, a result that they will seek to improve in the next GP, the Dutch Grand Prix, in three weeks.
