On the other side of the CFMOTO Aspar Team, fellow Moto2 rider David Alonso endured a more difficult race.

Nevertheless, he completed the race and gathered valuable data that could prove beneficial in the upcoming rounds.

In Moto3, Máximo Quiles faced a more demanding race after a string of impressive performances in recent races. An unfavorable qualifying result left the young Spaniard with work to do on Sunday. Although he remained within reach of the leading group for much of the race, he lost ground during the fierce battles in the closing stages and eventually finished 11th. Despite missing out on a top-ten result, Quiles successfully retained his lead in the Moto3 Riders’ Championship standings.

As the championship enters a crucial phase of the season, CFMOTO Aspar will continue its pursuit of stronger results on both the Moto2 and Moto3 fronts.
