ROUND 8 / SEPTEMBER 25-27, 2020
CIRCUIT DE BARCELONA CATALUNYA / BARCELONA, SPAIN
P74
Rossi now tumbles down to 11th
thanks to two consecutive race crash-
es, with Dovizioso now fourth.
Quartararo leads the series now at
108 to Mir's 100, with Vinales third at
90 as MotoGP heads to France for the
2020 French Grand Prix on October 11.
Moto2
Sky Racing Team VR46's Luca Marini
produced some Montmelo magic to
see off Sam Lowes (EG 0,0 Marc VDS)
in the closing stages in the Catalunya
Moto2 round, taking what could turn
out to be a vital victory in his quest to
be crowned World Champion in 2020.
Lowes was forced to settle for second,
with the podium completed by Fabio Di
Giannantonio (HDR Heidrun Speed Up)
as the Italian was back on the podium
for the first time this year. American
Joe Roberts had one if his best perfor-
mances for some time, taking fifth on
the Tennor American Racing Kalex.
Marini is 20 points clear in the cham-
pionship at 150 ahead of Bastianini at
130 (sixth in Catalunya) with Bezzecchi
(seventh-place finisher) third at 114.
(Above) Maverick
Vinales went from
dominating in Misano to
nowhere in Catalunya.
More consistency is
needed if he wants that
title. (Right) Franco
Morbidelli (21) led
away early but couldn't
maintain Quartararo's
pace. (Below) Joan Mir
is most certainly the
danger man right now.
