The 2025 Grand Prix in Assen left a bitter taste for David Alonso. The Colombian pilot, who disputes his first full season at Moto2 after being crowned Moto3 World Champion in 2024, lived a uphill top that ended early.
Since Friday, Alonso had trouble finding the necessary rhythm in a circuit as demanding as Assen. In the qualifying session on Saturday, he could only mark the 21st time with a chrono of 1: 35,956, which forced him to leave from the bottom of the grill. Things were even more complicated on Sunday: just in the third round of race, when he passed through the final chicane, he suffered a fall that left him out of competition.
This abandonment represents a timely step in the general table, where Alonso remains around the 15th position with 36 points. However, its main goal for 2025 is still adapting to the intermediate category, much more technical and physically demanding than Moto3. The year of debut is always complex, and adding experience in historical circuits such as Assen is part of that learning.
In contrast, the weekend had an absolute protagonist: the Brazilian Diogo Moreira. After getting the pole position on Saturday, he also stayed with the victory on Sunday, becoming the first Brazilian pilot who wins a motorcycle race2 since Triumph engines are used. A triumph that confirms its great moment and that projects it as one of the pilots to follow in the second half of the championship.
David Alonso will soon have the opportunity to remake: the next race will be in the Sachsenring circuit, Germany, between July 11 and 13. It will be the eleventh calendar event and mark the beginning of the second part of the season. A new challenge for the Colombian to continue adding kilometers, confidence and points on his growth path in Moto2.
