The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider has completed a great comeback from the fifth row of the grid

Moto2 has a new leader: Ai Ogura. The Japanese has won the San Marino GP, which has allowed him to overtake in the World Championship his teammate Sergio García, who has only been able to finish twelfth. Ogura, together with Aron Canet and Tony Arbolino, have been one step ahead of their rivals in the Misano race and have exchanged podium positions throughout the race. Arbolino and Canet have been the ones who have led for most of the race, but Ogura has showed his strength in the final laps. With four laps to go, he has overtaken Canet to head towards his third win of the season. Canet has finished second and Arbolino, third. With this victory, Ogura has a nine-point lead in the World Championship over García and 42 over Joe Roberts and Alonso López, who are tied on points. CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider Jake Dixon is now in fifth place in the standings, 45 points off the lead. 

Dixon has made a great comeback in Misano. The British has started from the fifth row of the grid and has been very competitive in the first few metres. In fact, when he has crossed the finish line after the first lap, he was already in tenth position. The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider has been gradually recovering places until he has ended in fifth position. The British is satisfied with the result after a difficult weekend, but he hopes to be back in the fight for the podium in the second race in Misano, in two weeks. His teammate Izan Guevara has ended in twenty-first position at the San Marino GP. The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider has made a great start in Misano and has climbed from twenty-sixth to nineteenth place in the first lap. The Spanish has reached seventeenth position, just outside the points zone. However, as the laps have gone by, he has lost positions until he has crossed the finish line in twenty-first position. 

5th Jake Dixon (+10.863): “I feel like it's a win, to come from where we come from. I'm absolutely exhausted, it hasn't been an easy weekend at all. I'm super fit and even for me it has been really physical. I just have tried to stay calm at the beginning and I knew that I would be stronger at the end. If we had been in the first two rows of the grid, we could have afforded to fight for the podium again. Today I have got the maximum possible points from the position I have started in. I am super happy and I want to thank the whole team. They gave everything this weekend, we never give up, that is the mentality we have this year. We will be stronger here in the next race in two weeks, we cannot afford to repeat what happened this weekend.”

21st Izan Guevara (+30.171): “I am not happy with the weekend. We have worked hard to improve on the braking, but it has been impossible. We have made a lot of changes for the race. I have felt really comfortable with the rear, although I have struggled with the front. I have suffered stopping the bike. The start has been pretty good and I have managed to overtake many riders, but then I have not been able to gain any more positions. We know where the problem is, we will work to solve it for the second race in Misano.”
