David Alonso has been a dominant force in the Moto3 category this season, securing his place as the 2024 World Champion with four rounds still left in the competition. Representing the CFMOTO Aspar Racing Team, Alonso claimed the championship title at the Japanese Grand Prix, marking his tenth victory of the season. This incredible feat puts him in a position to rewrite the record books in Moto3 history.
Currently, Alonso is just two wins away from breaking a long-standing record set by none other than the legendary Valentino Rossi. Rossi’s record, established in 1997 in the 125cc category (now Moto3), stands at 11 wins in a single season. If Alonso can add two more victories to his tally, he will surpass this nearly 30-year-old achievement and establish himself as the rider with the most wins in a single Moto3 season.
In addition to challenging Rossi’s record, Alonso has already matched another milestone in the modern Moto3 era. His ten wins this season tie him with Joan Mir, who set the record in 2017. Alonso has proven to be a significant force in the competition, making his mark as a rider to watch closely in the years to come.
Moreover, the Colombian rider has cemented his legacy with a historic achievement of his own. With 14 career wins in Moto3, Alonso now holds the record for the most victories in the category, surpassing the previous record set by Romano Fenati in 2021. This accomplishment further solidifies his status as one of the most promising talents in the sport.
As the season progresses, the racing world watches with anticipation to see if Alonso can break Rossi’s long-standing record and continue building his already impressive legacy.
