Moto2, at Misano triumph on a knife’s edge for Celestino Vietti

Moto2, at Misano triumph on the wire by Celestino Vietti

In a beautiful Moto2 race that threatened to be a mockery for Italian riders, Celestino Vietti burns at the finish line Aron Canet overtaking him right on the final straight and triumphs in the Grand Prix of dell’Emilia Romagna at the Misano circuit. Third at almost two seconds after a mistake on the last lap Tony Arbolino, who had been in the lead for most of the race.

As mentioned, Arbolino, on the Elf Marc VDS Racing Team Kalex, had been in the lead from the start, with Vietti, on the Red Bull KTM Ajo Kalex, following him, and Canet, on the Fantic Racing Kalex, slyly watching over the two Italians. The first to make a mistake è was Vietti, then è it was Arbolino’s turn with four laps to go but two laps later he passed the Spaniard, who had taken the lead.

In the middle of the last lap Arbolino goes very long and throws away his chances of a well-deserved victory, it seems that Canet should mock the two Italians and instead on the final straight Vietti mocks him by a trifle, 29 thousandths. For the Piedmontese è the eighth victory in his career and the second of the season, while the Milanese manages to stay on the lowest step of the podium.

As far as the championship standings are concerned, the leader, Japanese Boscoscuro MT Helmets MSi Ai Ogura, who finished fourth about a second behind Arbolino, increases his lead to 22 points over his teammate, Spaniard Sergio Garcia, who ended up on the ground in the first part of the race.
