Moto2: 19 points is the gap between Moto2 title race leader Manuel Gonzlaez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) and second place Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) heading into Round 14 at Balaton Park, following dramatic weekends for both last time out.
Gonzalez’s bad luck in the Grand Prix saw the #18 suffer a DNF after a stone from teammate Senna Agius’ opening lap crash pierced the radiator. Meanwhile, Canet’s big FP2 crash meant he was riding a bit battered and bruised, which saw the #44 collect six points with a P10 finish. That’s six points clawed back on Gonzalez, but the biggest mover was race winner Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team).
The Brazilian, after two pointless scores in Germany and Czechia, propelled himself back into title contention with a classy second win of the season. It’s now 35 points splitting the top three, and with Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) only 10 points behind Moreira, we’ve got four riders who are all well in the hunt for the 2025 crown.
Fifth place overall, Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) will be putting the Austrian GP firmly out of sight. The Briton is 24 points away from Baltus, while Celestino Vietti’s (Sync SpeedRS Team) second P3 of the season brings him closer to his fellow Boscoscuro rider in the championship.
