HUNGARIAN GP

CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team riders meet Balaton Park

Dani Holgado and David Alonso arrive in Hungary to complete their third double of the season

 

The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team will be looking for further success at the unfamiliar Balaton Park circuit. After a positive weekend in Austria, where Dani Holgado achieved his first Moto2 podium and David Alonso fought for the podium despite suffering a crash, the rookies in the intermediate category are eager to take on the big new addition to the 2025 calendar. The Spanish rider completed a solid race at the Red Bull Ring, showing the great progress he has been making in recent rounds. Despite this second place, Holgado is not putting any extra pressure on himself and wants to continue working with the team in Hungary in the same way he has been doing so far. The Hungarian circuit will be new to most of the riders on the grid, although some of them have already trained there before. This circumstance will not be an impediment for the Spanish rider or his teammate David Alonso. The Colombian was unable to finish the Austrian Grand Prix as he would have liked, as a crash prevented him from securing his second podium and the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team's first double of the season. The Moto3 world champion knows the importance of adapting quickly to this track in order to be as competitive as possible in a category that is becoming increasingly evenly matched between competitors.

Moto2 championship leader Manu González failed to score points in Austria, as a technical problem forced him to retire, and he remains on 188 points. His main rival, Aron Canet, finished tenth, allowing him to close the gap slightly as he is now 19 points off. Diogo Moreira, meanwhile, is in third place with 153 points after last weekend's victory, which puts him ahead of Barry Baltus in fourth. Britain's Jake Dixon completes the top five in the standings. As for the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team riders, Holgado is twelfth with 80 points and Alonso is seventeenth with 43. In addition, both remain the best rookies in the category.

 

Dani Holgado: “After achieving my first podium in Moto2, I simply want to continue working as we have done so far. This weekend we arrive at a new circuit, where I have not yet had the opportunity to ride. It will be important to work well from Friday onwards to see how far we can go.”

David Alonso: “Balaton Park is a new circuit that I haven't ridden on yet. We'll take advantage of these days to watch as many videos as we can to learn the track. It seems to be a completely different circuit to what we've done before. There are a lot of tight chicanes and heavy braking points, it's not very wide, but we'll have to do a lot of laps and, above all, enjoy it.”
