Senna Agius wins Moto2 at Jerez; Intact GP secures 1-2
Senna Agius won the Moto2 Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuito de Jerez, Ángel Nieto, recording his second consecutive victory of the season. He started fourth, set a new all-time Jerez lap record on Friday and rode a Dynavolt Intact GP Kalex fitted with Pirelli control tyres. Agius made the decisive pass for the lead on lap 14 of 21 and crossed the line 0.885 seconds ahead of teammate Manuel Gonzalez to give Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP a one-two. He said he had to manage severe front-tyre wear early and deliberately waited to push in the closing laps, and he thanked his team.
Collin Veijer took pole in Saturday qualifying with a 1:39.101 on his Red Bull KTM Ajo Kalex. Alex Escrig and Manuel Gonzalez completed the front row and Agius started fourth. Veijer led much of the race but faded in the closing laps with arm pump and finished third, 1.107 seconds behind Agius. David Alonso recovered from a poor start to finish fourth, Celestino Vietti was fifth, and Dani Muñoz, Izan Guevara, Tony Arbolino, Alex Escrig and Iván Ortolá completed the top ten. American Joe Roberts, who had qualified 20th, finished 15th.
At round four of the Moto2 season the result tightened the early championship picture. Manuel Gonzalez leads on 59.5 points, Agius is second on 50 and Izan Guevara third on 45, leaving Gonzalez 9.5 points clear of Agius. Intact GP manager Jurgen Lingg praised Agius’s performance and warned that the upcoming Le Mans round will present a fresh challenge.
