Moto2 Full Race Results | Championship leader capitalizes on big Turn 1 crash

The race began with all three riders on the front row crashing out at the first corner. Angel Piqueras made a mistake after starting from P3 and took out both future Trackhouse rider Daniel Holgado and pole sitter Senna Agius. Back in the garage, the MSi rider also went over to apologize to the Australian.

As a result, KTM's Collin Veijer inherited the lead with Gonzalez putting him under pressure. On Lap 5, the Intact GP rider made his move, and overtook the Dutchman.

During the following laps, Gonzalez, Veijer, and Barry Baltus were the riders in the leading group, until the Belgian received a long-lap penalty for exceeding track limits.

Gonzalez then built a gap to Veijer, while Baltus came under pressure from Ivan Ortola after serving his penalty. In the end, the Belgian managed to hold on to the final spot on the podium.

After Pramac Racing's Izan Guevara crossed the finish line in sixth place, Gonzalez now leads him by 47.5 points in the riders' standings.

Earlier today, championship leader Maximo Quiles defeated David Almansa to win the Moto3 race at the San Marino Grand Prix. The Aspar rider got past Almansa at the final corner, with the race decided by just 21 thousandths of a second after a lap-long battle between the two Spanish talents. KTM's Brian Uriarte completed the podium.
