Alonso Lopez (EG Honda)
was third, his first podium, with
second Leopard rider Marcos
Ramirez fourth, after riding wing-
man to Dalla Porta for much of
the race.
A last-lap collision split the front
group, as Andrea Migno (Mugen
KTM) tried to go between Ai
Ogura (Team Asia Honda) and
Dennis Foggia (SKY VR46 KTM).
He lost the front, and knocked
Ogura down, the second time
in three races. The impressive
Japanese rookie had earlier set
fastest lap coming through from
18th on the grid. Migno was given
a six-grid-position grid penalty for
the next race.
Foggia was fifth, half a second
ahead of his teammate, maiden
pole starter Celestino Vietti.
Dalla Porta leads Canet by 22
suffered sundry misfortunes.
Aron Canet (Sterilgarda KTM)
was one of three victims of a
collision under braking early in
the race. John McPhee (Petro-
nas Honda) and Tatsuki Suzuki
(SIC58 Honda) the others, while
the perpetrator Darren Binder
(CIP Green Power KTM), who
had forged through to fourth
from 25th on the grid, suffered a
rather harsh ride-through penalty.
Tony Arbolino (Snipers Honda)
dropped out of the lead group
with severe cramp in his right
wrist. He dropped to 20th but
recovered to 10th at the end.
Arenas took the lead from
long-time leader Dalla Porta on
the last lap. The Italian dived
inside into the final corner, but
the Spaniard got ahead again by
0.231 of a second.
Arenas (75) came out on top after a typical Moto3 dog fight.
