Victories and Titles of the Great Izan Guevara

Izan Guevara The new Moto3 World Champion after signing in a big way for his 6th win of the year and 7th in Moto3 with a stunning finish at the Phillip Island race. He didn’t have to win, but no one will agonize over the sweetness of decanting the crown with a win to show who was the greatest man of the year. has dominated his partner García Dolls.

In a little celebration, he changed his usual helmet with champion gold. He was none other than his Aspar team mentor Nico Teror, his last 125cc champion in 2011. The day Gaviota Gasgas Asper also declared the team champion.

In his second year at the World Cup, Guevara added to his crown, exactly as compatriot Joan Mir did at this same circuit in 2017. Along with pioneer Jorge Lorenzo, the third Mallorcan World Champion in history. After a modest 8th place at Losail, he scored his first podium of the year at Mandalika, a circuit nobody knows about. His first win at the Termas de Rio Hondo was on the horizon, but mechanical problems forced him to retire after leading eight of the race’s first nine laps. He made up for it with a monumental outside to García Dorus and Onc at the final turn 13 in front of the Spanish fans in Jerez to sign a spectacular victory. It’s his 2021 rookie year and his second in his career after Austin.

A year of 6 wins and 11 podiums

And with a long streak of podiums at Le Mans, Mugello, Catalunya and Sachsenring, he finished second in title contention, just three points behind team-mate Dors. In the next race he crashed like his teammate and the first leadership of his life was frustrated. He had to hold out until Misano, where he was already in front for the third time and did not relinquish his World Championship lead. Victories in Aragon and Japan have already given him a decisive boost, after which he will only have to use his experience in the categories before the World Championships to win his third title in the last four years. is ready.

The start of the race was declared dry, and since it had been raining an hour earlier, he was given five minutes to spare to allow the downhills (turns 9 and 10) to be particularly dry. With such silence, Guevara calmly spoke for DAZN on the grid.

García Dorz took the lead of the race from Sasaki, and in seventh place in the group Guevara settled with Foggia, seeking three places against 12th on the grid. Quintero, quarreling with Moreira, Dorus, Sasaki, Onc, and Ortra, stood a few meters away from Guevara, who silently watched as they led their pursuers.

With four laps all rearranged and the race led by Drus, who had already shown the best pace all weekend, Foggia was missing and Guevara was looking for teammate Gasgas’ tail. On some curves, he was given lap five until Sasaki and Moreira got in his way. With greater determination he made it on his eighth lap and began to lead the race by lap nine, with GasGas Aspar giving his half a second to his pursuers with his fifteen laps to go.

A better breaker than cornering specialist Izan, Drus has not twisted an arm out of the highest drawer on the podium since Mugello. So they have always attacked, respectfully looked out for their own interests, and continued to spend. Winning or finishing second alongside Sergio was as worthy as Izan signed on his day. However, Sasaki and Onku were also interested in the race and joined them.

Four people dance at the end

The dance to 4 is constant in the final 5 turns, with Izan very nervous reacting to Oncu and Sasaki’s unpredictable actions every time. On the final lap, Guevara took the lead, closing the gap well and pushing to the max until he was half a second into Rookie Heights, and in style with victory and the title ahead of Onck and Drus, who stole second overall from Foggia. signed. , came to the finish line in just 9th place with a whopping 16-inch 794.
