The Italian Celestino Vietti added his first victory in a year at his team’s home race, the Red Bull KTM Ajo, an Austrian GP weekend with pole, victory and fastest race lap for the VR46 Academy member on the Moto2 grid, a weekend where boss Valentino Rossi corrects his sons from the road.
And a weekend where it was also confirmed that he will not continue with this team in 2025 as his place is for Dutch Moto3 rider Collin Veijer. But he won’t remain unemployed because his compatriots will probably welcome him to Speed Up as a companion to the driver who finished him, the Madrid native. Alonso Lopez, who passed his teammate Aldeguer for fourth place in the championship.
Aron Canet He took the initiative from poleman Celestino Vietti after a long combination at turn 1 and reacted better to lead the Italian and García Dols behind them, but the Castellón native was harassed by Alonso López who passed him before the finish the first lap. Vietti and López overtook Canet and the Italian began to pressure the group, by the fifth lap he gained half a second on López and seven tenths on Canet with García Dols already down 2″2. Problems for Aldeguer , fourth in the championship , was very uncomfortable on this stop&go circuit and rolled out of the points.
By the seventh lap, Vietti was more than a second behind his pursuers and when he was 1.2 seconds behind him he stopped, a classic in Moto2, and Alonso took the opportunity to cut the gap to half a second some shortly before the halfway point of the race.
Due to the track’s limitations, there were five remaining and when he was sixth in a group of eight, he earned a long lap penalty against García Dols and fell to 13th position, 14th after being overtaken by Guevara and there he stayed. The absent Ogura’s cushion (he injured his hand on Saturday morning in PR2) at the championship leader is now 20 points, a very small reward for the panorama that has opened up due to his teammate’s absence.
Vietti started the last lap with a 2.5 lead and Alonso Lopez He gained wind in the battle behind Dixon and Canet for third place, which went to the Englishman. As they both stepped on the green on the final lap, the result stood. 20º is very cloudy Fermin Aldeguer.
