How is Moto2 different as a category from MotoGP?
That's a lower category under MotoGP, a development class with a unified engine spec designed to bring out the gap in skill between riders and teams.
I believe Moto2's engine supplier is unified as Triumph, so is CFMoto more on the chassis or team side of things?
The phrase 'kept running as one of the title contenders' makes me curious what exactly was missing that kept him from actually winning.
2nd place itself isn't a bad result, so whatever kept him from winning outright was probably a pace gap in the closing stages or something like that.
Alonso's a Colombian rider carrying Latin America's expectations, so a return to the podium must be welcome news.
