ROUND 3 / APRIL 24-26, 2026
CIRCUITO DE JEREZ - ANGEL NIETO / JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA, SPAIN
ROAD RACE I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
P96
Moto3
Four races in to the 22-round
season, and it already appears
likely one rider will take the
Moto3 crown. Maximo Quiles
(Aspar KTM) capped a dominant
weekend with a late touch of
class, as he broke clear of his
three pursuers to take a second
win of the year and extend his
lead out to 37 points.
Yet not even Quiles could
claim to be the hero of the
day. That honor fell to David
Munoz (IntactGP KTM), making
a return from the horrific leg
injury sustained in last year's
Indonesian GP. Infection meant
the home hero had to undergo a
three. Lapping close to half a
second faster per lap, Alonso
got within a second of Veijer
on the final lap. Gaining over
three seconds up to the victor
in the race's second half was no
consolation, as he shed tears of
frustration soon after. On this
evidence, his time will come.
Celestino Vietti (SpeedRS
Boscoscuro) was another
strong fifth, ahead of Dani
Munoz (Italtrans Kalex) and Izan
Guevara (Pramac Boscoscuro).
Gonzalez (59.5 points) still
leads the way, with Agius (50)
now second. Guevara (45) and
Vietti (43) are still very much
in touch.
off the
line, the Colombian
dropped six places to 12th
on the first lap. He was then
barged off track at turn one
when a near coming together
between Alex Escrig (Forward
Racing) and Dani Holgado
(Aspar Kalex) at turn one
resulted in the former lifting
up the latter, with Alonso so
nearly collected.
Relegated back to 10th
on lap six, 5.3 seconds back
of the lead, he got down to
business. What followed
over the subsequent 15 laps
was deeply impressive, as
he quickly gained six places
and set his sights on the front
Senna Agius (81) is emerging as a
real title challenger after taking his
second Moto2 win in a row.
