Moto2: Following an action-packed encounter last weekend at the Sachsenring, the gap between the championship top two in Moto2 sits at a slender nine points ahead of a date with Brno.
Manuel Gonzalez’s (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) comeback ride to P4 means his advantage stretched out, and Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) will be hoping for better than a battling P7 when we get going in Czechia – a circuit he was P10 at the last time we raced there in 2020.
Away from the lead chasers, Germany threw up plenty of headlines in Moto2. Turkey’s Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Ajo) is now a double race winner in 2025 after he fended off Belgium’s Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego), with those pair now P5 and P6 in the standings. A return to the rostrum was needed for Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team), who was in the Sunday top three for the first time since his Austin win, but the Briton was left wanting more.
That means the #96 will be fired up this weekend, and alongside him in the box is the home hero. Filip Salač will be hunting a first podium of the season in front of his Czech faithful, and that’s what Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing) will be searching for too as the American returns to the venue where he picked up his debut pole position and podium finish back in 2020. A repeat would go down very nicely.
A pit lane start for Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) after his drama in Germany means the Brazilian faces a mountain to climb in Brno, so it’s a chance for Gonzalez, Canet, Dixon and co to gain some ground on the rider P3 in the championship before we head for a summer break.
