– David Alonso is the first ever Colombian rider to clinch a Grand Prix world title. Colombia becomes the 20th different nation with at least one Grand Prix world championship. He is also the first Latin American rider to clinch a GP world title since Carlos Lavado in 1986 (250cc) for Venezuela.
– This is the first time that a CFMoto rider takes the Moto3 title.
– Alonso has won 14 times in Moto3, and he is now the most successful rider in the class ahead of Romano Fenati (13). With 10 wins so far this year, he joined Marc Marquez, Joan Mir and Fausto Gresini as riders to have taken 10 wins in a single lightweight class season. The record is the 11 taken by Valentino Rossi in 1997.
– Alonso took the world title four Grands Prix before the end of the season, becoming the first rider to clinch the Moto3 title that early since Brad Binder in 2016.
– Since the introduction of Moto3 in 2012, Alonso (18 years 164 days old) is the third-youngest rider to clinch the title after Pedro Acosta (17 years 166 days old) and Izan Guevara (18 years 100 days old).
– Alonso has stood on the podium 11 times so far in 2024, more than any other riders on the Moto3 grid.
