Jake Dixon and Izan Guevara travel to Germany with great motivation and will fight to close the first part of the season in the points
With no time to rest after the Dutch GP, the Moto2 World Championship heads to Germany to compete in the ninth race of the season, the last one before the summer break. In this first part of the year, the intermediate category has been very even, with six winners in eight races. Now, the World Championship arrives in Sachsenring with only a 23-points difference between the top three. Sergio García leads the World Championship, but his teammate Ai Ogura has reduced the gap from 26 to 14 points since the French GP after achieving two victories in the last three races. Joe Roberts, who is third in the standings, was unable to compete in the Dutch GP due to injury and will have to be declared fit by doctors to compete in Germany. Another rider to take into account in Sachsenring will be Fermín Aldeguer who, although he is further back in the World Championship, has been very competitive in the races. He was leading in Barcelona when he crashed, and he was also the leader in Assen when he received a long lap penalty for exceeding track limits.
CFMOTO Polarcube Aspar Team rider Jake Dixon heads to Germany after finishing just off the podium in Assen. The British arrives pretty confident at a track that he likes and where last year he climbed to the bottom of the podium in a race won by who would be the World champion, Pedro Acosta, and in which he finished 95 thousandths off the second, Tony Arbolino. This weekend Dixon will fight to finish in the top three again and thus add his second podium of the season before the summer break. His teammate Izan Guevara wants to score points again in Sachsenring and leave behind the Dutch GP, in which he could only finish nineteenth. The CFMOTO Polarcube Aspar Team rider will work to be strong from the start of the grand prix, to achieve a good qualifying position and be able to fight with the front group in the race.
Jake Dixon: "I like back-to-back races. We arrive in Sachsenring, a track that I really like and where I was fast last year. I think I can do a good job again. On Sunday, tyre management will be key. I think that who will do the best job in practice sessions will be the fastest in the race.”
Izan Guevara: "Sachsenring is a track where in Moto3 I was able to go really fast. We will try to start on a strong way from Friday and be able to have a good weekend because I think we have the potential to achieve it."
