David Alonso continues to dominate with his third consecutive victory in the Italian Grand Prix.

Continues the victorious path of David Alonso in Moto3. This Sunday, the rider achieved his third consecutive victory, now at the Italian GP in Mugello, in a difficult race to manage that was even interrupted. Strong start to the race by Alonso (CFMoto Valresa Aspar) to stay in the lead from pole position. Ivan Ortolá (MT Helmets-MSi/KTM) kept close behind and Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia) also had a good start to move up to third. The Japanese would lose the position to Collin Veijer (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) on the third lap. In the lead, Alonso continued ahead of Ortolá, but the distance was very short. However, it was Veijer who on the fourth lap overtook Ortolá to reach second. Shortly after, there was a red flag due to an accident in turn nine in which one of the involved, Xabi Zurutuza (Red Bull KTM Ajo), had to receive assistance at the crash site. After a few minutes of pause, the race resumed with 11 laps and the starting grid corresponding to the classification at the end of the third lap: that is, with Alonso in pole position. At the restart, the Colombian once again started well to stay in the lead, while Veijer overtook Ortolá.

At the first corner, there was a crash involving José Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo), Daniel Holgado (Red Bull GasGas Tech3), and Stefano Nepa (LevelUp MTA/KTM). The Italian was forced to retire. Shortly after, Tatsuki Suzuki (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) also crashed. Meanwhile, Ortolá regained the second position.

However, at the start of the second lap of the restart, Veijer and Furusato took advantage of the slipstream on the main straight at Mugello to move up to first and second, respectively. Alonso dropped to third. In the same lap, Furusato briefly took the lead of the race.

Returning the favor on the next lap, Alonso once again led the race. The front group had six riders, with constant battles, position changes, and a lot of uncertainty.

No less than six riders are in contention for victory 👊

In the final laps, Alonso managed to create a more solid lead in the lead, but Veijer did not give up. Ortolá was third, Ryusei Yamanaka (MT Helmets-MSi/KTM) was in fourth, Furusato in fifth, and David Muñoz (BOE Motorsports/KTM) in sixth.

Not even a final push from Veijer prevented Alonso from celebrating another triumph, with just 0.142s ahead. Yamanaka closed the podium, inheriting third place after Ortolá crashed in turn 12 on the last lap. Furusato and Muñoz rounded out the top five. Holgado was penalized with two Long Laps due to the incident at the restart of the race, but still managed to score two points with 14th place.
