ROUND 11 / JULY 11-13, 2025 SACHSENRING / SAXONY, GERMANY ROAD RACE I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P108 to Oncu, with Baltus and Dixon behind. The Turkish rider admit- ted luck was on his side; his rear tire was done at the race's finish, with Baltus and Dixon, one sec- ond back but closing in rapidly, fancying their chances. Gonzalez's (172 points) excel- lent recovery to fourth means he leads Canet (163)—seventh here—by nine points, with Moreira (128) now 44 off in third. Moto3 David Munoz (IntactGP KTM) won out in an all-Spanish last- corner dogfight with title leader Jose Antonio Rueda (Ajo KTM) was wiped out by David Alonso (Aspar Kalex) behind—a costly mistake, not just for the crash, but also because the FIM Stew - ards handed him a pit-lane start for the next race at Brno for not taking the requisite care when coming back onto the track. And still the carbon fiber flew, as Marcos Ramirez (ART Kalex) wiped out Albert Arenas (Gresini Kalex) in the fight for fourth at turn one. And since the Gresini bike punctured the air fence at the edge of the track, Race Direction had no option other than to stop the race five laps from the end, handing victory Boscoscuro) wide at turn one, allowing Deniz Oncu (Ajo Kalex), Barry Baltus (Fantic Kalex) and Tony Arbolino (Pramac Bos - coscuro) to press on ahead, only for the Italian to fall at turn 12 on lap seven. But the juicy stuff was happen- ing behind. Moreira was enjoying the ride of his career, gaining nine places on the first lap, and another nine by lap six. By mid- race distance, he was fourth and eyeing a way past Dixon. Yet inexperience told. Tagging the Englishman impatiently at turn three on lap 17, he then re - joined the track at low speed and Deniz Oncu (53) admitted to having luck on his side as he took a second Moto2 career win.
