Race report
Once again an exciting race in the Moto3 category, with many new features both in terms of the final result and, above all, for the evolution of the final ranking. In this last respect, the episode that gave an important turning point in favor of Jaume Masia occurred during the second roundwhen, due to a technical problem that occurred with the motorcycle of David Muñoz, Ayumu Sasaki failed to dodge the motorbike of the Spaniard, hitting him squarely. He was also involved in the fall Daniel Holgado, with the two riders thus losing ground on world championship leader Masià. While the Japanese had to withdraw from the race, although he restarted later (exactly like Muñoz), Holgado got up shortly after the accident, concluding a desperate and sensational comeback from 27th place to sixth final position. A masterful performance by the Iberian driver, now in third place in the world championship on equal merit with David Alonsohimself the author of a fight for victory to the death, and above all until the last lapwith Furusato, Veijer and Masià. From the quartet, always protagonists of overtaking and counter-overtaking, the Colombian from GasGas emerged victorious, with his fourth success of the season. Great joy, however, for Furusato and Veijer, 2nd and 3rd respectively but above all theirs first podium in his career. More disappointed, however, was Masià, who was fourth and consequently off the podium, but who with this placing still extends his lead 17 points the lead over Sasaki with three races to go, and to 25 on the Holgado-Alonso couple.
