Moto3: can Piqueras maintain momentum in Hungary?
Moto3: It was a timely and much needed 25-point haul for Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) in Austria having gone seven races without a rostrum, and with Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) finishing outside the top three for the first time since Italy, the gap between the top two in Moto3 dropped to 71 points ahead of the Hungarian GP.

Moto3: It was a timely and much needed 25-point haul for Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) in Austria having gone seven races without a rostrum, and with Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) finishing outside the top three for the first time since Italy, the gap between the top two in Moto3 dropped to 71 points ahead of the Hungarian GP.
That, obviously, is a very healthy margin the #99 boasts coming into Balaton Park, so Piqueras will need to build on the momentum gained and try to chip away at the gap again in Hungary. And it was double delight for FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI at the Red Bull Ring, as Ryusei Yamanaka handed the outfit a 1-2 – that’s the Japanese star’s career-best result.
Speaking of career-best, David Muñoz (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) is enjoying his most fruitful run in Moto3 after the #64 battled his way to P3 in Austria. That’s his fourth podium on the bounce, his fifth in the last six, and the Spaniard is now tied on points in P3 overall with two stand-out rookies – Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) and Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo).
Quiles finished P4 after losing out in the latter stages last time out to draw level with Carpe, who claimed P11. At the moment, it’s a straight shootout between those two for Rookie of the Year honours, but Muñoz, Quiles, and Carpe will be hunting Piqueras and Rueda first and foremost.
Who will clinch the first Moto3 victory at Balaton Park? A whole host of names are in the hat, as the chasers aim to cut Rueda’s
