It’s a Championship standings 1-2 as Friday concludes for Moto2 in Austria. Points leader Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) clinched top honours with a new lap record, but he’s just 0.013s ahead of the opposition led by second in the standings Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego).
Third went to rookie Ivan Ortola (QJMOTOR – FRINSA – MSI) within 0.077 of the top, with fourth only 0.006 further back: multiple Spielberg winner Celestino Vietti (Sync SpeedRS Team).
Gonzalez was quickest but also gained a 3-place grid penalty for being slow on line.
Third in the Championship, Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego), just makes the cut for Q2 in P14.
Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) left it late to move up into P6 on his final flying lap, from outside the top 14.
Brno winner Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing Team) is P15, David Alonso (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) P18 and Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) P21 – and with all looking to move through to Q2.
