Today is Alberto Moncayo's birthday. Happy birthday!

Today is a very special day for one of our riders in the Moto3 category of the Motorcycle World Championship: Alberto Moncayo, the Andalusian turns 21 eager to keep improving with his Kalex and to fight alongside one of the most powerful teams in the championship, Team Aspar.

The rider started out in 2008 in the 125cc World Championship with a few wildcard appearances, but it wasn’t until 2009, when he took part in four races and gained more experience, that he finally became a full-time rider in the world championship in 2010 with Team Andalucía, finishing the year in 13th place in the overall standings, making him one of the best rookies and with 5th place at the Motegi Circuit as his best result of the season.

After that thrilling 2010 season, the time had come to start achieving results closer to the front, but things did not go as well as expected, and in 2012 came the big step up to one of the most powerful teams in the championship, Team Aspar. Although it has not been easy at all, step by step, day by day, he keeps improving his performance and getting closer to his natural positions in Moto3.

Now, with more experience, plenty of talent, hunger and hard work, he will start to reap the results, because patience is also key in one of the championships with the most riders in form; it is a battle full of young riders eager to become champions.

Today is his big day, and he will celebrate it with family and friends, enjoying this short break until mid-August with the event in Indianapolis. It’s time to face the second half of the World Championship and keep moving forward.

Happy birthday from the whole Plusmoto.com team
