Pedro Acosta He started the Indonesian GP in the worst way with a heavy initial crash in FP1 where he was “frozen alive” and lost a nail, he did not enter the front row in Q2 and he finished it in style with a successful that escape that allowed him. the seventh victory of the year, tenth in Moto2, and further extended his lead in the World Championship. At this rate, in two weeks, the rider who in 2024 will ride for the GasGas Tech3 MotoGP team can take the crown in Buriram. Canet and Aldeguer have completed the Spanish triplet.
A determined Acosta, who started fourth, took the initiative from front line men Canet and González and also a good start from Chantra, the last Mandalika winner, who has just completed a full race in Japan . Already in the first corner, Alonso López, who started 18th, fell, marking a difficult GP for the Madrid native.
In the second lap, polesitter Canet regained the initiative ahead of the World Championship leader who quickly responded at the start of the third. The Murcian began to open a gap and half a second fell on the Valencian, it was important to avoid further attacks from his rival as in previous races and have a more peaceful afternoon. After them came Arbolino, second in the World Championship who entered Mandalika 50 points behind Acosta and was now only in a position to delay Acosta’s surge as long as possible due to the loss of pace since he surrendered the lead to Silverstone.
Acosta continued to push and second fell to the Valencian on the eighth lap. Pons Racing also owned the second position after Aldeguer, González and Arbolino started to fight behind him.
At the halfway point Acosta broke the race clear, Canet tied for second place as well as Aldeguer third. Just an error in the concentration of any of these or a drop in the tires in these extreme hot conditions can change those positions. If Acosta continued undisturbed up front, in this second half Aldeguer was closing in on Canet in pursuit. But he defended himself well and with three remaining he neutralized the Speed Up rider. Arbolino finished sixth and continued to lose points. There are now 65 points between them.
