Holeshot for Ortola ahead of Alonso, Holgado is three, he gained six places at the start. It passes two. Then Alonso is four, passed by Fernandez’s Honda. It’s very dense at the front of the race, Alonso prefers to leave the melee in front of him. There are seven, the tactic in Moto3 does not consist of leading from start to finish, it is extremely rare. Fernandez, who is the lead, is not in the running for the title. Ortola and Holgado, two and three, yes. Alonso moved up to six, one second behind Fernandez. Then very good Inter on Yamanaka, Alonso is five. He passes Piqueras’ Honda, there are four. Behind his main opponent, the one who could delay the title at the Australian GP Alonso passes him, there are three. In front of him is Ortola. Absolutely a must. Which he does. Ilm is two behind Fernandez. If he stays like this, he is titled. Fall of Piqueras on the wet grass impossible to leave. But we also have to win, he passes Fernandez, he is in the lead three laps from the end, tenth victory in sight, the record is Rossi’s, eleven victories in a season. Alonso takes a little breath, four tenths ahead of Ortola. There are two laps left, Ortola wants to eat Alonso’s rear mudguard but he falls. Last lap, Alonso takes out the slapping machine, he finishes victorious half a second ahead of Veijer.

FIRST COLOMBIAN DRIVER WORLD CHAMPION

Tenth victory, another one to equal Rossi’s record, he has four GPs left to go. He’s probably in tears at the finish line, we can imagine the insane tension of this GP! And super iron fist in the race strategy, it’s clear, Alonso is entering the big leagues…
