Italian GP
The Murcian becomes, at 18 years and 4 days, the youngest rider in history to win a Moto2 victory
Pedro Acosta from Murcia, who was contesting his eighth race in the intermediate category, imposed his dominance at the Mugello Circuit. The ‘shark from Mazarrón’ becomes, at 18 years and 4 days, the youngest rider to win a victory in Moto2. The milestone was in the hands of Marc Márquez at the 2011 French Grand Prix, now being snatched from him by another Spaniard.
Arón Canet, who started from pole, did not have his day and had to leave. Neither could the leader of the general, Celestino Vietti, cross the finish line, who sees how the Japanese Ai Ogura, third today, tied him for the top of the table. The second place went to the American Joe Roberts, achieving his second podium of the season after the one in Portugal.
