#AustrianGP | Romano Fenati is definitely back in business!
Snipers rider comes back to victory in a usual Moto3 crazy race being able to run away from his rivals, while Arbolino, Vietti, Masia and McPhee fought until the chequered flag for podium positions in a really crazy ending
As happened for MotoE race, rain made Moto3 one extremely hard, with Race Direction who declared a wet one, but track was dry enough to let Moto riders going with slick tyres; at the end, no one went with wet compounds but asphalt was still tricky as long as some parts of the circuit were still wet and that was the main reason why we saw many crashes, including Jaume Masia, the most important one as long as the Spaniard made an incredibly comeback together with Celestino Vietti to fight for podium position but ended falling down at penultimate lap.
Race was decided at the start, where Tony Arbolino, Romano Fenati and John McPhee were able to create a gap from everyone creating a little group to fight for podium position, with the three who fought in early stages of the race, but the Romano took the lead and ran away from his teammate, while behind them we had another group with Lorenzo Dalla Porta, Marcos Ramirez, Jaume Masia and Celestino Vietti who tried to close the gap from top 3.
Leopard riders never had the pace to fight for top positions, while Masia and Vietti made an incredible comeback closing a gap of 5 seconds from Arbolino and McPhee, with the two who definitely lost the possibility to catch Fenati and fight for the victory. Last two laps gave so again an heartbreaking fight, with Masia who crashed out trying an attack on McPhee but went wide touching a wet part of the circuit ending on an highside, while Vietti, Arbolino and McPhee engaged a fight for podium positions. Everything was decided in the exit of last corner, with Sky Racing Team rider who seemed to had better pace but ended with a crazy last twist as long as Celestino lost podium due to pit limiter, letting Arbolino and McPhee through.
Marcos Ramirez and Lorenzo Dalla Porta ended so in 5th and 6th, a good result overall for the Italian in particular as long as Aron Canet’s race was not so positive with former championship leader who finished in 10th. That means Lorenzo is again the leader of the championship in a year to remember where this two guys will fight until the end for the World Title.
