It ends with the second victory of the day the Sunday of Sky Racing Team VR46 at Spielberg. Marco Bezzecchi hits his first career victory in Moto2 after a perfect race. Seventh Luca Marini who keeps the lead of the Championship standings.

Fifth at the start, Marco immediately set his pace. Second at 10 laps from the checkered flag, lap by lap, he reduced his gap from Martin till under two tenths. Second on the finishing line he gained a position and the victory for a penalty inflicted on the Spaniard.

Seventh after the start from the 12th position of the grid, Luca who did everything possible to recover places. A complicated weekend where he struggled to be the protagonist. With today’s points he reaches 87 in the general standings and maintains the provisional leadership. First place also among the Teams with 152 points.

Marco Bezzecchi:

I had a good start, then at turn 3 I put the wrong gear. I have thought about the mistakes of last week and tried to stay focused. I was fast and I was already happy with the second place even if Martin got closer and closer each lap. I tried to put some pressure on him and said to myself: it’s like the old times! What an emotion Sunday! What a day for the Team, with Cele we have been friends since we were child. I am very happy for my family, the whole Team and the Academy.

 

Luca Marini:

My mood is very similar to yesterday: I tried to do my best, but this weekend we struggled too much. I wasn’t okay with the bike, I took a step forward in the T3, but then we lost two tenths on the rest of the track. We didn’t work in the best way possible, maybe we lost too much time in the free practices to try the new compound and I didn’t have a perfect feeling. I had the same pace as last Sunday while the opponents were stronger. I would like to be back on track as early as I can to recover but I’ll have to wait two weeks for Misano where I’m sure we’ll have fun.
