Round twenty of th𒆙e Moto3 championship, the Solidarity Grand Prix, saw David Alonso move to the🧔 front at the right time, to claim a seventh win in a row, and his fourteenth of the year - a record in a single season across all classes.

The CFMoto Valresa Aspar rider had been the winner at the same track back in May, and launched from pole. The lead changed over🔜 the race with Adrian Fernandez and Daniel Holgado also clocking up laps out front.

Alonso had tried to esca🐟pe but it was not to be, so the Colombian sat patiently in the group.

Sitting in second on the penultimate lap, the #80 swooped under Fernandez and never looked back, leading o♍ver the line to start the final lap in front, and blocking the difficult fan of riders looℱking for a slipstream over the line.

From the onꦬ the win looked locked in, and Alonso went on to win by 0.147s over the line, his advantage enough to hold off the bikes behind.

The win was the seventh in a🐽 r💞ow for Alonso, the first rider to do so since Fausto Gresini during his run of ten consecutive wins. The 14th victory is also a record in all classes of bike racing - a winning feat never before seen in a dominant season. Alonso dedicated his win to his Valencia team and the region, cleaning up on track after having helped Jorge Martinez clean up at the circuit between rounds.

Daniel Holgado put in the fastest lap of the race on the final lap but it was not enough ⛄to bridge the gap, finishing second for 💟Red Bull GasGas Tech3.

Adrian Fernandez crossed the line third, but only achieved the place after holding a fall with his leg off the bike that took him well off track before rejoining. The Leopard rider was handed a three second ꦺpenalty, elevating his rookie teඣammate Angel Piqueras to the final podium spot.

Jose Antonio Rueda was also moved forward but h🧸ad done plenty of that on track too after starting down in 17th for Red Bull KTM Ajo, coming from ninth on the penul𒆙timate lap for a blistering final run to the front.

Ryusei Yamanaka had further gains handed to him - David Munoz was sixt🍨h over the line and fifth after the Fernandez demꩲotion. The BOE rider had been in the mix, with contact and tough moves from start to finish, resulting in a penalty of his own for his late move on the Japanese rider that sent him wide and out of contention - handed a one place demotion for the move.

That placed the M🐼T Helmets - MSI rider fifth and Munoz sixth after the flag.

Taiyo Furusato moved up to seventh for Honda Team Asia, with Jacob Roulsto🌱ne eight on the second Tech3 bike.

Ivan 🅠Ortola had been at the front before  the action packed final few laps, having had his own contact with Munoz and been so close to 💟the front he had rode under Alonso just minutes earlier before he finished ninth, fighting hard all the way for MT Helmets - MSI in a close race.

Colli💞n Vܫeijer could never really get in the thick of the action, completing the top ten for Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP.

Fernandez was eleventh after his three seconds were🍷 added, with Joel 🐟Kelso twelfth for BOE Motorsports.

Tatsuki Suzuki spent much of the race managing an earl🌟y track limits warning in 1🌼3th, David Almansa just lost out in the run to the line in 14th for the Snipers team with the final point going to his teammate Matteo Bertelle in 15th in the same battle for position.

Scott Ogden finished his last race as an MLav rider in 17💃th, a second ahead of 18th placed Luca Lunetta who was given a double long lap penalty for knocking off Stefano Nepa at the start of the race. Retained MLav rider Eddie O’Shea was 21st.

Crashes, Injuries and Replacements

With Joel Esteban is absent with a w☂rist inꦫjury, his replacement Marcos Uriarte has spent the weekend duelling it out with another rider from the junior classes Alvaro Carpe, for the best results.

Wildcard♑ Carpe, with the Red Bull KTM Ajo team he joins full time in 2025, finished the better of the duo in 19th after Uriarte had been ahead for t🍌he opening laps, running wide for 25th.

Riccardꦏo Rossi  was handed a double long lap penalty for the final race. Having qualified down in 23rd, the punishment ended any hopes of a comeback - he later returned to the pits.

Nepa𝄹 was the only rider to crash out of the grand prix.
