The Italian Tony Arbolino (Kalex), in Moto2, and the Spanish Daniel Holgado (KTM), in Moto3, came as leaders in Spanish Grand Prix which will take place this weekend at the Ángel Nieto circuit in Jerez de la Frontera, the classic “Spanish stronghold” when it comes to victories and where the 700th victory of Spanish motorcycling can be registered for the first time.
Although the MotoGP “sprint” race will be held on Saturday, which gives half of the points but should also be considered a victory to expect the “round digit” of seven hundred victories, the second option is the Moto3 race, where Daniel Holgadowho achieved the first victory of the season in Portugal, arrived as the leader equal in points with the Brazilian Diogo Moreira (KTM).
The wide representation of Spanish pilots in the smallest of the categories and the fact that this is the first race of the Sunday program on the Andalusian track, gives a great possibility to get the 700 long-awaited victory of Spanish motorcycling.
Both own Daniel Holgado as Xavier Artigas (CFMoto), Jaume Masia (Sling), Ivan Ortola (KTM), brilliant winner in Austin (United States), David Munoz (KTM), Andalusian by birth and with extensive knowledge of the layout of Jerez o Jose Antonio Rueda (KTM).
But among the most innovative applicants, neither should be forgotten david savior (KTM) or at David Almansa (CFMoto), although in his case his participation will be in doubt, as he replaced the injured Australian pilot. joel kelsowhich may reappear on the “Ángel Nieto” track in Jerez.
The extensive Spanish representation will face pilots of Brazilian stature Diogo Moreiraa classic in Spanish competitions, where his development as a pilot was forged, the Japanese tatsuki suzuki (Sling), Kaito Toba (KTM), Ayumu Sasaki (Husqvarna) or ryusei yamanaka (GasGas), in addition to the Italians Stefano Nepa (KTM) or Andrea Migno (KTM) and the Turkish Deniz Öncü (KTM), who did not have the start to the season that many of them might have expected.
The advantage is somewhat wider Tony Arbolino in Moto2, where the Italian has not been off the podium so far this season, including victory in the Termas de Río Hondo race (Argentina), albeit gradually and after his “missteps” in the South American country , another one of The great favorites of the category is gradually approaching, the Spanish Pedro Acosta (Kalex).
And for this reason, due to his condition as a Spaniard, he is one of the great favorites for victory in Jerez de la Frontera, but he is not the only one, because they are both quite close. Aron Canet (Kalex) like Alonso Lopez (Hurry up).
the czech Philip Salac (Kalex), the Thai Somkiat Chantra (Kalex), the Japanese Ai Ogura (Kalex), or the British Jake Dixon (Kalex) and sam lowes (Kalex), and the South African Darryn Binder (Kalex), will be other protagonists, along with an extended list of Spanish representatives, consisting of Manuel Gonzalez (Kalex), Albert Arenas (Kalex), Jeremy Alcoba (Kalex), Fermin Aldeguer (Speed up) and Sergio Garcia Dolls (Kalex).
