(Above) Sam Lowes (22) earned his first top step of
the podium in four years to reignite his title chase
when a devastating crash from compatriot Jake
Dixon (Petronas Sprinta Racing, #96) handed the
Briton victory in Moto2. Remy Gardner took second
on his Kalex after passing Marco Bezzecchi for
the point in the last corner. In the championship,
Marini leads with 150, Bastianini is second with 135
and Bezzecchi is third at 130.
(Below) A second victory of the season came Celestino
Vietti's (13) way in the Moto3 race. The SKY Racing Team
VR46 rider produced the goods to take the 25-point haul
by 0.142 seconds as Tony Arbolino (Rivacold Snipers Team)
and Albert Arenas (Gaviota Aspar Team Moto3) completed
the podium. The latter reclaimed the championship lead
as Ai Ogura (Honda Team Asia) salvaged a P9 finish. In
the championship, Arenas leads with 135 points ahead of
Ogura at 129 and Vietti at 119.
