Race Weekend Highlights
Alonso had shown strong pace during Friday's free practice.
He clocked a leading time of 1 minute and 36.154 seconds, finishing just nine thousandths of a second ahead of Gonzalez.
Dutch riders Collin Veijer and Zonta van den Goorbergh finished in the points. Veijer secured 11th place, while van den Goorbergh took 15th.
In the preceding Moto3 race, Maximo Quiles claimed victory.
Alonso commented on the challenging conditions.
“It has been complicated to manage, but I have known how to read the track in these conditions.
The high temperatures cause the engine to run less, and that makes you lose a few tenths on the straight.
In addition, there was also less grip and it was difficult to trust the rear tire.”
He emphasized the need to adapt. “You have to try to give your maximum in every situation.
Tomorrow morning everything will look very nice, but in qualifying everything will change quite a bit.
First I want to work on the pace and on the high-speed direction changes: they are key to making a good lap and I want to be more consistent in that.”
