RED BULL RING / SPIELBERG, AUSTRIA
MOTOGP I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
P94
On the last
lap, Holgado led
Sasaki, but the
Japanese rider
took over at
turn one. At turn
three, Holgado
launched an
attack and Oncu
capitalized as
well. But Sasaki
once again hit
back, and it all
went down to
that final corner.
Holgado went
for it up the
inside of Sasaki,
and both headed
a little wide, leav
-
ing Oncu just
enough room
to
slice through.
That became a
drag to the line
between the
Turkish rider and
the champion
-
ship leader, with
Sasaki left
dragging it out
against teammate Veijer.
Oncu would take his sec-
ond career Moto3 win ahead
of
Holgado, Sasaki and Veijer
with Ivan Ortola (Angeluss MTA
Team) taking fifth.
In the standings, Holgado
leads with 161 to Sasaki's 135
and Oncu's 124.

With 17 laps still on the clock,
Masia was out with a technical
problem, which left a small gap
between Holgado, Oncu and Vei-
jer in the lead and the chasing
trio of
Sasaki, Alonso and Rossi.
By 10 laps to go, the top four
was settled with Holgado, Oncu,
Alonso, Veijer and Sasaki.
Moto3, just
coming out on
top in a photo
finish against
Daniel Holgado
(Red Bull KTM
Tech3). Ayumu
Sasaki (Liqui
Moly Husqvar
-
na IntactGP)
completed the
podium, losing
out in a spec
-
tacular final-
corner
shuffle
that saw Oncu
play his cards
perfectly.
Holgado
took the early
lead ahead of
Oncu, but first-
time polesitter
Collin Veijer
(Liqui Moly
Husqvarna
Intact GP)
didn't take
long to move
into second
place. He stuck with the lead
group, which was comprised
of Silverstone winner David
Alonso (GasGas Aspar Team),
Jaume Masia (Leopard Rac
-
ing) who was looking for some
redemption,
2022 Austria win-
ner Sasaki, and Riccardo Rossi
(SIC58
Squadra Corse).
