Birthplace : Cervera DOB : 1996-04-23
Height : 179 cm Weight : 65 kg
Even after Alex had won the 2014 Moto3™ title brilliantly , courtesy of three wins and seven further podiums , he still lingered in the shadow of older brother Marc . The Spaniard faced a tough start to life in Moto2™ in 2015 and 2016 . But he scored three wins in 2017 . In 2019 was a year when Alex really came into his own when he became the first rider in history to win titles in Moto2™ and Moto3™ . Jorge Lorenzo ’ s retirement opened the door to a surprise MotoGP™ seat in Repsol Honda for 2020 and , despite difficulties with his bike , Alex scored two impressive podiums in France and Aragon . He switched to LCR Honda colours for 2021 but aside from a fine fourth at the Algarve GP , it was a tough year . His fortunes haven ’ t improved in 2022 , despite riding an all-new RC213V . He will depart for Gresini Ducati next year .
