Alonso showing once again why he’s the cream of the crop in Moto3 this year.

Little prick ends up on the podium. Word on the street is that Le0pard is back to some creative rule bending this week, which could have played a part in the result.

Lunetta had podium pace, just lacking the experience to duke it out at the sharp end. But he’ll get there.

Alright race, not a Moto3 classic by any means.
 
In their defense, most of them ARE.

I was thinking this after I wrote that lol.

I am intrigued by how this carries into Moto 2 for him.

I don't see him repeating this against experienced riders, but however maybe we will be pleasantly surprised.

I guess it's been awhile since I really watched a rider in Moto 3 that stood out to me the way Alonso is at the moment. I'd feel the same way even were he not winning seemingly every race just on account that he's not letting anyone take advantage of the traditional Moto 3 slipstreaming battles when he is in front of guys. He just carries so much more corner speed as well.
 
The fact that Fenati lasted 11 seasons being the insufferable tool that he is, is a minor miracle in itself.
It might have been just ten in Moto3 plus two half-seasons in Moto2.
He always snuck the occasional win or two which kept him alive for another year.
Tbh after his first two races in 2012 I thought the sky was the limit to what Fenati could do in GP racing but he himself was his biggest enemy and therefore he now slots into the 'eternal talent' category.

I was a big fan too until he Fenati’d himself by punching Pablo Nieto, which sadly was not the last time he took the “Be yourself” mantra literally.

What he did to Manzi in Moto2 should have gotten him a lifetime ban, no appeals.

Another interesting thought, by the time Alonso gets to MotoGP (which I have no doubt he will) the 2027 regulations will be in place. He won't have to get used to the new regs because he doesn't know ride height racing. This could be a real advantage for him.
