The CFMOTO Aspar team and David Alonso have decided to cancel the event that was supposed to be held at the Aspar Circuit this coming November 9 to celebrate together with the fans the 18-year-old's newly achieved Moto3 world championship victory due to the flooding that hit and devastated the province of Valencia in the night between last Tuesday and this Wednesday.
The Spanish team is headquartered in Ribera Alta, one of the areas hardest hit by the heavy rains, and although some of the workers are currently in Sepang for the race weekend, the other employees and all the families are at home. Along with the condolences for the victims, the team apologized via official statement to all those who had planned to attend the festivities announcing the possibility of being compensated in case of reservation by making appropriate request to the email address [email protected].
A message also came from the Colombian rider himself who, in a video posted on X, said, showing all his closeness to those in that area of Spain, "This is not the time to celebrate. There are more important things than a World Cup or racing."
"Parte de mi corazón está en Valencia.

Two, however, are the posts on behalf of the team. "With body in Malaysia and with head and heart in Valencia," the first, which was followed by an appeal. "11,000 km from home and with a small heart for what we read and hear from home. Please avoid unnecessary travel. Emergency services need clear roads to work."
