David Alonso says the pressure of expectation thatꦡ followed him throughout his 𒈔record-smashing 2024 Moto3 season meant he “lost a lot of energy”.

The Colombian came into 2024 as a favourite to fight for the title after wiඣnning four grands prix in his rookie campaign the year before.

That expectation only heightened after pre-season testing, with Alonso ultimately guiding his Aspar-run CFMoto machine to the title with 14 grands prix ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚvictories.

Alonso also set a new record for most wins in a lightweight class season, taking that accolade away from MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, who’d previ🔯ously held it from 1997.

Such was Alonso’s form that he garnered widespread support from top MotoGP names, most notably Marc Marquez, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:who urged the paddock not to put pressure on his shoulders as he continues his way up the ღgrand prix ladder.

But all of 🏅this attenti🌱on came at a cost for Alonso, who moves into Moto2 next season with the Aspar squad.

“This year it was so l🔴ong for me,” he said when asked by ltxcn.top about the pressure he faꦕced in 2024.

“And then I lost a lot of energy because from the very b🦄eginning we did good marks on the pre-season test, and a lot of people were sa𝔉ying I could fight for the championship.

“And this p꧅ut on me a lot of pressure. I tried to ꧒deal with this pressure.

“But I think that next year is different because next year I do♏n’t have to do on𒅌e result.

“All that comes will be fine. So, it will be m𒁏ore like 2023 more than this year. So, I 𝕴think I will have less pressure.”

Aspar fields an all-rookie line-up in Moto2 nexಞt year of Alonso and Dani Holgado,🗹 who finished a distant runner-up in the 2024 standings to the Colombian.

On his Moto2 move, Alonso added: “I believe that next year it w🦩ill be more relaxed, more🐻 relaxed weekends and we won’t be talking about records for a long time.”
