The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider has finished third in the Red Bull Ring and has achieved his third consecutive podium
CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider Jake Dixon is in great form and has shown it in the Red Bull Ring, where he has finished third, achieving his third consecutive podium. Dixon set the sixth best time in yesterday's qualifying, but the three-position grid penalty imposed on Tony Arbolino has allowed him to start from fifth place. The British has been very competitive from the start and has always remained in the top 5. At the front, Celestino Vietti, Alonso López and Aron Canet, who were riding on the first positions, have escaped. As the laps started to go by, the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider has gradually closed the gap to the group in front until he has caught them up. On the last lap, Dixon has been able to overtake Canet to finish third and thus add his fourth podium of the year. Vietti, who started from pole, has won the race while López has finished second. The World Championship leader Sergio García has not been able to take advantage of the absence of his main rival Ai Ogura, who is injured, and has only scored two points in a race in which he has ended fourteenth. Now, after the first eleven races of the season, García leads the World Championship with a 20-point advantage over Ogura and 32 over third-placed Joe Roberts. Jake Dixon, with this new podium, remains seventh, but gets 14 points closer to the leader and reduces his disadvantage to 68.
CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider Izan Guevara has finished the Austrian GP in twelfth position. The Spanish, who has started from tenth place, has been unable to complete a good start and has lost several places. However, Guevara has shown a competitive pace, has managed to fight until the finish line and has been twelfth. With this result, he finishes in the points again and thus fulfils his objective for the weekend. Guevara is seventeenth in the standings, with 25 points.
3rd Jake Dixon (+1.974): “I am super happy because I have been suffering a lot throughout the weekend. I want to thank my team because if it was not for them, I would not be here. In the race I have had to recover a big gap with the leaders that I would rather not have had to recover, I was more than two seconds behind. I have given my all, I have gone to the maximum until the end.”
12th Izan Guevara (+14.336): “We can be happy with the weekend. After a bad result in Silverstone, here we have gone very well from the start, despite the crash on Friday. I am satisfied, we have had a good race. The beginning has been a shame because I have not been able to complete a good start and we have lost a lot. Then I have managed to catch up the group in front, but my pace was very similar to that of my rivals and it has been very difficult to overtake. I have finished twelfth, in the points, and I am happy."
