The Italian, who overtook the Spaniard on the last lap, consolidates his lead after Ogura’s seventh place
The Moto2 Grand Prix of Catalonia had two protagonists, in an electric and exciting test until the final stages. One of them, Joe Roberts, who finished third in Italy and had already won on the strange Sunday in Portugal. The American started better than anyone from third on the grid and set a pace that allowed him to take a lead of more than two seconds. Until an excess of momentum brought him to the ground on lap eleven, something that changed the landscape of the test. So the stragglers understood that they could fight to win. Arón Canet, Jake Dixon, and further back, Celestino Vietti.
Passing the laps with very even rhythms, in which Ai Ogura got into trouble, the one who came as co-leader to Montmeló, lost that camber lap after lap until he finished in seventh place. A lesser evil considering the crashes of Roberts and Sam Lowes, plus a mechanical issue with Albert Arenas. Moving on, the final section became two duels for two: the one to decide the winner, between Vietti and Canet, and the one for third place, between Augusto Fernández and Dixon.
In the latter, it was Fernández who took the cat into the water, holding onto the Brit’s wheel to overtake him on the final lap and secure his second drawer of 2022. In the first of those duels, Vietti and Canet led the way in the same points, the Spaniard to the Italian in turn 1, the Italian to the Spaniard in turn 10. Canet, aware of this, tried to defend that point on the last lap as he lay ahead, something he ultimately failed. Vietti was victorious in Montmeló, where he came out with a 16 point lead over Ogura and 24 points over Canet.
