Moto2: 31 points split top three as we land in Barcelona
Moto2: That was some Moto2 race in Hungary.
Moto2: That was some Moto2 race in Hungary.
The brilliant David Alonso (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) earned his debut win in the class, while title rivals Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) and Manuel Gonzalez (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) went elbow to elbow to finish P2 and P3 to see the championship gap between the front three close a little more.
Next on the agenda: Barcelona. A circuit all the riders know well, and one Alonso won at last year in Moto3. Has the Colombian’s phenomenal victory paved the way for the floodgates to open? You wouldn’t bet against it, but Alonso isn’t in the 2025 title race. Although he could have a big say in how it plays out. Gonzalez leads the championship chase by 25 points, with Aron Canet’s (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) P6 at Balaton Park costing him some crucial ground.
That gap back to Moreira is where the 31 points come from, and in the last two outings, that’s come down 29 points in favour of the Brazilian. Gonzalez is without a win since Italy, Canet is without a win since Qatar, and although all three look consistent, the momentum, as things stand, is with Moreira. Will that continue in Barcelona?
Elsewhere, Jake Dixon’s (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) P4 was a very solid return to form, and the British rider will be hoping to at least repeat his 2024 Catalan GP podium score this weekend as he chases down fourth place overall, Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego). If results go their way, Baltus and Dixon might still have an outside chance of being in this fascinating title race.
A home round for many, let’s see how Round 15 plays out in Moto2, shall we?
