David Alonso has “an option” to be in MotoGP from 2026 but that involves being crowned Moto2 world champion in 2025.
David Alonso is considered one of the new gems of Motorcycle sport. 2024 Moto3 world champion, in his second season, he has already broken several records and will debut in the Moto2 category next year. For how long? Time will tell.
The Colombian made it known that there was a way for him to be in MotoGP from 2026, in the year he turns 20. But to do that you have to be Moto2 world champion in 2025, and he can't imagine it.
“I don't rule out moving to MotoGP in just one year, but starting there in 2026 would only be possible if I become Moto2 world champion in 2025. If I could do that, then there would be an option. But I don't think that's realistic. »
Even if success is there, there is another obstacle to Alonso's arrival in MotoGP in 2026: many places are already taken. Four factory teams (Ducati, KTM, Aprilia, Yamaha) are full, as are many other teams like Aprilia Trackhouse, Ducati Gresini and KTM Tech3.
Better to wait until you have the ideal handlebars, and prepare well until then. “Moto2 is very special and I am aware that there is a lot to learn here. The better you prepare for MotoGP, the better. A good example is Johann Zarco »quotes the Colombian. The Frenchman was titled in the intermediate class in 2015, and successfully defended his crown in 2016. He was then able to enter MotoGP in 2017 on the Tech3 team's Yamaha.
