CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider Izan Guevara has finished in sixteenth position, while Jake Dixon has crashed on the first lap

Fermín Aldeguer has won the Australian GP after battling with Aron Canet until the final lap. In the first laps, Aldeguer, Canet and Alonso López have exchanged the top positions, until Aldeguer has managed to open a gap at the front. Canet has remained in second place and López in third. As the laps have gone by, Canet has got closer to Aldeguer and, with seven laps to go, he has overtaken him. From that moment on, both of them have engaged in a great battle and, after a heart-stopping final lap, Aldeguer has won in Phillip Island. His teammate Alonso López has occupied third position for much of the race, but with three laps remaining he has crashed, allowing Senna Agius to claim in his home race his first Moto2 podium.

Moto2 will have to wait to crown its champion for the 2024 season. Ai Ogura had the chance to mathematically seal the title if he finished the weekend with a more than 75-points lead, but that has not been the case. The Japanese rider has finished in fourth position, with two of the riders who still have a chance of fighting for the title ahead of him, so the Japanese rider's possible title win moves to Thailand. In addition, the order of his pursuers has now changed: Canet has climbed to second position, 65 points off, and Aldeguer to third, 66 points off, tied with Sergio García, who today has only managed to finish ninth. Now Ogura depends on himself to win the championship and a top-five finish next week in Thailand is enough to do so.

The Australian GP has not ended in the best way for the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team. Izan Guevara has started from seventeenth position and in the first laps he has gone backwards to twentieth place. The Spanish has not felt comfortable on the bike and has struggled to be competitive, but despite this, he has managed to gradually recover positions to cross the finish line in sixteenth place, just off the points. His teammate Jake Dixon, who has started from tenth place, has been unable to complete a lap. The British has crashed in the second corner after an incident with another rider. The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team will fight to get a good result next week in the Thai GP and thus leave the result in Phillip Island behind.

16th Izan Guevara (+43.934): “It has been a weekend to forget. We had been very competitive in the last two GPs and here we have struggled a lot. We have to understand what has happened. I have given my best, but I have not been able to be fast.”

Jake Dixon (crash): “Getting knocked off is definitely not ideal. It was only the second corner, everyone was relaxed. I have not even seen it, he has not passed me, he just hit me from behind. Fortunately, I am fine. We have not been lucky in the last four races, it is what it is.”
