Following a brief intermission at Assen, the David Alonshow continued at the Sachsenring as the CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team star claimed his sixth victory of the season to extend his Championship advantage to 58 points ahead of a date with Silverstone.
And who won in Northamptonshire last year? That’s right, David Alonso.
The Colombian is currently sailing towards a first Grand Prix title at a considerable rate of knots, but with 11 races to go, Alonso’s chief chasers still hold hope. The first of those after a P3 finish in Germany is Ivan Ortola (MT Helmets – MSI), with the Spaniard leapfrogging Daniel Holgado (Red Bull GASGAS Tech3) in the standings after the latter’s recent tougher run of form.
Holgado and Ortola finished P3 and P4 respectively at Silverstone last year, so like Alonso, they too have good pedigree in Great Britain. Meanwhile, Collin Veijer (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) will be aiming to respond after his crash from the lead in Germany saw him relinquish 25 points to Alonso, with the Dutch star now P4 in the Championship chase.
Can anyone halt Alonso’s charge? That’s the goal for everyone on the grid, so tune in at the slightly later time of 11:15 (UTC+1) to find out!
