a poor start and a tangle with
Barry Baltus. Despite the DNF,
he retained a narrow points
lead.
Aron Canet (Fantic Racing)
grabbed the holeshot, with
Moreira and Izan Guevara briefly
leading. Early drama saw Ivan
Ortola (QJMotor—Frinsa MSI)
crash and Jake Dixon (Elf Marc
VDS Racing Team) drop to 13th.
The front five—Canet, Moreira,
Alonso, Agius and Izan Gue
-
vara (bLU cRU Pramac Yamaha
Moto2)—traded
positions con-
stantly.
Alonso made history
as the
first Colombian to lead a Moto2
race since 2010, though Canet
quickly responded. As the laps
stage, is likely out of reach as he
sits 72 points off Marc in third.

Grand Prix at Silverstone deliv-
ered breathtaking drama, ending
with
Senna Agius (Liqui Moly
Dynavolt Intact GP) claiming a
spectacular win. The Australian
triumphed in a fierce five-

Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing
Team) and Colombian David
Alonso (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar

European Moto2 podium.
Championship leader Manuel
Gonzalez crashed out early after
said. "Last season was com-
plicated, so I had decided to
undertake
this new adventure,
and Aprilia has always believed
in me. I couldn't dream of a
better first win with Aprilia. The
team is working extremely well,
as is the staff in Noale, and I am
extremely happy and grateful to
all of them. We must never stop
working."
In the points, Marc Marquez
sits 24 points clear of his brother,
Alex, 196 to 172. Bagnaia's DNF
means the title, even at this early
