MotoGP's future star may disappoint you in 2025
Added 2025-01-16 12:00:09 +0000 UTCHere's the first early release of an ad-free MotoGP video for The Race Members' Club on Patreon!
From now on all the videos on The Race Moto YouTube channel will also be available via Patreon ad-free, and wherever possible we'll give you early access to them as well.
To kick off, here are Val and Simon explaining why the MotoGP paddock is so certain David Alonso is the next Pedro Acosta rising through the ranks - but also why his 2025 season is almost certainly going to be underwhelming.

Hopefully he beefs up over the winter and doesn't miss 4 races for arm pump surgery :P

You can also easily separate him from some of the flops like Masia, DellaPorta etc. The exception for me is Izan Guevara who equally had an exceptional Moto 3 title win (against potentially tougher opposition based on how well Sergio Garcia is doing now), and went into Moto 2 well supported and on a competitive bike. Hopefully Alonso trajectory is more Acosta than Guevara!

2025-01-16 18:37:44 +0000 UTCHeard a lot of talk about his height, I mean he is 18, and he is small but not like Pedrosa small, he's just barely shorter than Martin & Marc. Is the height really that big of an issue for adjusting to a bigger bike or is it just people see he look small and immediately goes Pedrosa?
