Moto2: Title race finely poised ahead of Red Bull Ring showdown
Headlines
Moto2: School is back after summer and the run to Valencia begins, with the Moto2 title race finely poised.
As it stands, following his P3 in Brno, Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) leads the way by 25 points, with Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) chasing a response.
That first DNF of the campaign at the Czech GP was costly for the Spaniard, but it was a better day on the other side of the box as teammate Barry Baltus picked up his fourth P2 of the year. The Belgian is now P3 overall, with Czech GP winner Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing Team) the one to deny Baltus his maiden win – and what a ride it was from the American. Are more wins and podiums on the cards for the rest of the year for the #16?
Elsewhere, two DNFs at the Sachsenring and in Brno mean Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) has work to do in the championship chase. 60 points is the gap to Gonzalez, as the Brazilian aims to bounce back in the title hunt.
Others looking to bounce back will be Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team), Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP). The riders in P5, P6 and P7 in the standings all finished outside the top 10 in Brno, as Dixon lands at a circuit he finished P3 at last year behind Austrian GP winner Celestino Vietti and the Italian’s 2025 Sync SpeedRS Team stablemate Alonso Lopez. All three would smile at repeat results this time around.
Gonzalez in charge, Canet the chief chaser, and a host of Moto2 riders hungry for success in the second half of the season. The run to the finish begins this weekend in Austria.
