Aldeguer won a Grand Chelem in Buriram and Acosta’s title was postponed in Sepang

Fermin Aldeguer He gave himself a second Moto2 victory in style with a Grand Chelem (pole, victory and fastest lap in the race and leading all laps) on a day when all eyes were on. Pedro Acosta and his first match-ball for the title. It could not be in Buriram, despite the fact that he fulfilled his part of the deal, as Arbolino also fulfilled his goal of delaying the alirón for at least two weeks at the Malaysian circuit of Sepang with his fourth place.

A top-4 in Sepang assures Acosta of the Malaysian title no matter what Arbolino does, he only needs 13 points. Also in his second match-ball he won his Moto3 crown two years ago.

Acosta had to finish first or second and from there took 19 points from Tony Arbolino, last year’s winner of a race on the water and a red flag before two-thirds of the race. Predictions pointed to a Murcian driver, either Acosta or Aldeguer, as the race winner. One was the one who showed the best speed all weekend, the other got the pole, he also has good speed and nothing to lose. Before exiting the track, four drops began to fall that did not turn into rain, but water could be the dance guest in this race that was declared dry and very physical due to the heat and humidity.

Aldeguer He stayed at the front of the race at the start against Acosta and his Red Bull KTM teammate Ajo Arenas, in bodyguard duties, was overtaken by Ramírez. Poor start Arbolino climbed back into the top-5 from his initial eighth place, but fell back to ninth place in the group, uncomfortable in these early stages.

The two Murcians had already called for the escape with Ramírez trying to connect unsuccessfully. At the turns he was joined in the fight for third place on the podium by local idol Chantra who passed him at the fifth turn to the roar of the fans. In five laps Arbolino gave up 4″3 with respect to Acosta, who had already lost Aldeguer’s wheel – 1″4 – in a certain start from the Boscoscuro driver.

The laps passed and almost without a point Acosta became the champion because between his second behind Aldeguer – there were already 3″ 2 with ten laps left – and that by falling and overtaking Arbolino reached again in fifth place the Italian delayed his move to Sepang for two weeks. But the Italian could not get away because he was close to crashing, to get off the clean line. So far, there are nine to go, reaching his fourth place at the expense of Ramírez.his limit since he had Chantra more than three seconds behind for third place and that was how he entered the finish line.
