Arbolino wins, Ogura gives Augusto lead by fall
Moto2 World Championship will be decided by last appointment in Cheste Third in the category after the Malaysian Grand Prix delivered another dramatic blow with victory Tony Arbolino When Alonso Lopez world Jake Dixon took him to the podium.However, two applicants Ai Ogura and Augusto Fernandez play with fire, However, it was the Japanese who had 6 curves falling to the ground from the end of the race that burned. The Spaniard managed to fall up to three times in his final four laps in a very tough battle with Dixon, who was fifth at the time. Finally he got up, entered fourth place, reached Cheste and regained the lead with a 9.5 point advantage over the Japanese.
Ai Ogura had only one option to become World Champion at Sepang, her second Moto2 entry.He signed up on Saturday and had to win from his main rival Paul Augusto Fernandezstarted in 6th place, but finished 13th or lower before running out of points. Ogura had his three wins this year at Jerez, Red Bullring and Motegi, but Thermas, Portimao and Philippe he could not match Augusto’s zero at Island and Red Bull KTM Ajo finished the race. His worst in Austin came in ninth.
Arbolino surprised Ogura at the start, and Augusto Fernández, who had a poor start, miraculously saved the pile-up at the second corner, involving two of the contenders’ squires, Somkiat Chantra and Pedro Acosta. I stopped the race later and rejoined it in case I fell again on the comeback. Arbolino and Ogura took several meters as the Spaniard tried to hold on tight to a pursuit quartet led by Alonso López with Manu González and Dixon.
Arbolino and Ogura have rhythms in other leagues that they have already failed to achieve. On lap eight, Alonso Lopez and Manuel Gonzalez also dropped Dixon and Fernandez in a battle for the third box. With ten laps to go, Manu González, the only one with a stiff rear tire, overtook Alonso López and is looking for his best result in his rookie year, having previously finished fifth at Portimao and Phillip Island twice.
With seven to go, Kokura had already started to cut the gap on Arbolino to two-tenths, and the chasing quartet rejoined from behind. And one turn later, Ogura overtook Arbolino for his fourth victory, but with 1 braking to go and 5 to go, the front end closed, so the Italian regained the Italian, so the Japanese went from good to good. Saved myself and opened up a lot. Lopez became the quartet leader when González opened up and already distanced himself and Augusto outscored Dixon, but the Brit has been disrespectful to pilots playing for the title on multiple occasions. I pushed it back to the limit. Drop limit 3 times.
Augusto overtook Gonzalez for fifth on the final lap, and Ogura was 0.6 seconds ahead of the Italian in the first two sectors before overtaking Arbolino to reach turn 9 and the drama came when Ogura went down. I was. He gave his fourth place to his rival. Fernández and the championship, when they were giving Cheste a better match ball he had a 9.5 point lead, but now they are at his mercy.
As for the rest of the Spaniards, 5th is Manu Gonzalez, 8th is Alon Cane, 9th is Jeremy Alcoba, 10th is Fermín Aldeguer, 13th is Albert Arenas, 17th is Marcos Ramirez, 20th is Borja Gómez and Acosta. , Sanchis fell in the first round and Acosta fell. 8 from the end
