second. Bagnaia's (140) crucial
podium keeps him third.
MOTO2
The outside line around Ara-
gon's stunning final left-hander
isn't
a regular place for overtak-
ing. But Deniz Oncu (Red Bull
KTM
Ajo Kalex) proved he is
no ordinary rider, as he pipped
Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Kalex)
to victory by riding around the
Brazilian's outside on the run
to the finish line. Just three-
thousandths of a second was
the margin, the closest finish in
Moto2 history.
This race had been billed as
one of tire conservation. Yet
Barry Baltus (Fantic Kalex),
Oncu, polesitter Moreira and
Aron Canet (Fantic Kalex)
showed total disregard by forg
-
ing a ferocious pace out front
that few could live with.
Back
in third on lap seven,
Oncu leapt ahead of Canet on
lap eight then Baltus on lap 13.
With two to go, his lead over
Moreira was seven-tenths of a
second. Yet the Brazilian's late
speed was frightening, as his
personal best lap was a full half
second quicker than the leader
on the penultimate circuit.
He took control at turn five
and all appeared lost for Oncu.
Yet an inspired run through
the final turn was enough for
a maiden Moto2 win. How did
he do it? "Big balls," came his
response.
Senna Agius (IntactGP Kalex)
rode calmly and consistently to
climb to pass the flailing Canet
three laps from the flag to clinch
an impressive fourth.
Manuel Gonzalez (IntactGP
Kalex) recovered well from 18th
to eighth after crashing out at
the start of qualifying. Both he
and Canet are tied at the cham
-
pionship summit on 118 points.
MOTO3
He may have a list of misdemean-
ors as long as his arm, but there
is no
doubting David Munoz's
(IntactGP KTM) talent. Moto3's
bad boy finally has a World Cham
-
pionship victory to savor after
a beautiful last-corner
move on
Max Quiles (Aspar KTM).
