David Alonso's fiery comeback to his maiden Moto2 win 🚀 | 2025 Hungarian GP

Everything we've seen from David Alonso so far this weekend suggests that he's got podium potential, if he can string it all together. Lights out, we're racing in Moto2 here in Balaton Park. It's been a miserable first lap too for Aspart. They started 7th and 8th. Holgado's back in 13th, only two places behind Alonso. Alonso in 8th, he's 3.2 seconds off the race lead. That's the damage that's been done by A qualifying in 8th. That gap that was a second between Huertas and Alonso has already been slashed down to 6 tenths through the third sector. We might see another very low 1.41 coming here from David Alonso. It's absolutely clear that he's got the pace to be in this battle with Morera and Gonzalez. Alonso has now got through on Huertas for 6th place and he's soon going to be joining that, what is currently a three-way battle for the final podium position. Alonso's now putting on some further punishment for Kinnett, who's going backwards here. What's going on here with Kinnett? He's getting really pushed and barged around. He gives some back to Alonso as they go through the tight second corner. So, yeah, Kinnett's sort of a self-inflicted wound there really, because he briefly let Alonso come through as well, didn't he? Alonso on the 80 bike has just set a 1.40.964. And now he's got through quickly on his former Moto 3 Faux Via. And now this is Alonso charging towards the podium here. This has been sensational pace. Over the line we go then. Four laps to go as Alonso comes a long, long way back and he's got the inside line on Dickson. He levels the Brit then in the heavy braking zone for Turn 1. We saw this, didn't we, last weekend in Spielberg. Alonso's late race pace was sensational. He just made that crucial late mistake going into Turn 9. He's well on course here for his second Moto 2 podium. He could win this. This is unbelievable by Alonso. It's David versus two Moto 2 Goliaths at the moment at the front of this Grand Prix. And here comes Alonso once again from a long, long way back. He made that move on Dickson. Surely he's going to run in hot. Oh, he almost wipes out the front. He is all action, isn't he? Spectacular to watch is David Alonso. And he has got through. Moves on Dickson into the first corner. Coffee attack now on Diogo Moreira. Wow, just wow. Last lap underway and it's a massive lap in terms of the championship. Alonso is going to be close enough to make his signature move on the brakes into the first corner. And while he's trying once again, he almost tucks the front going down into Turn 1. Through 2 we go. He's trying to get on the inside now of Gonzalez. There's no way through there. He's getting inventive. He's trying to get creative here, isn't he, Alonso? Here comes Alonso. He's going to hit the front for the first time on this last lap. He's going super tight through those chicanes. Gonzalez is going to drop back down to third place. He's got it all wrong going into 9 and 10. Pushed a little bit off line by Alonso's move. And David Alonso once again is going to potentially be the Alonso in Moto2 for the first time as he now leads into 12 and 13. This kid is off the scale good. He is closing in on a maiden Moto2 victory at a circuit that is one of the toughest on the calendar for overtaking. He was 11th on the first lap. He's about to end the Grand Prix as a Moto2 winner. Gonzalez is gone. He's not going to win. Alonso has made a massive mistake though going into the final chicane. One corner left. Was he on the green? Potentially going through that final chicane. Look at this. Now they go three abreast. All this contact between Gonzalez and Merera. And out of all of it, it is David Alonso who wins a heart-stopping Moto2 race here in Balaton Park. Unbelievable. First Colombian to win a Moto2 race. How on earth did he do that?
