Tom Lüthi dreamed of the Moto2 World Championship after a strong preseason. But he has long been trapped in a nightmare. In the second GP of Aragon this continues without problems: Crash!
The race lasts only 14 seconds for Lüthi, then he is on the ground. Malaye Kasma Daniel falls into the first corner. His motorcycle is sliding in front of the Emmentaler. But not Daniel. It puts Lüthi on the front wheel and drags him into misery. After all, it is obvious that both pilots were unharmed.
“I was too far away all weekend and I didn’t have a chance. I also feel like I have no chance on the motorcycle, ”explains Lüthi. “I’m having a great fight on the bike and I’m not coming off the rock. And then there is also bad luck. “
His opponent simply misjudged. ‘He braked too late. I saw him coming and was able to dodge his motorcycle. But then it slid under my front wheel. He came to see me twice and apologized. “
A major annoyance and another low point in this catastrophic season. For the second time after the Spanish GP, Lüthi does not see the checkered flag. For the third time, the 34-year-old leaves empty-handed.
Lüthi too far behind, so in danger
The incident is still being investigated after the race. But the debacle is largely self-inflicted. Lüthi starts on the 26th way too far back. He also sees it this way: “When you stand there, the risk is simply much higher. That can no longer be avoided in this situation. “
At the top, the British Sam Lowes took the victory and, therefore, the leadership of the World Cup. Win ahead of Italians Fabio Di Giannantonio and Enea Bastianini. In the World Cup he is seven points ahead of Bastianini with 178 points.
Morbidelli after winning the championship race
The MotoGP race becomes Franco Morbidelli’s prey. The Italian drives a Yamaha towards his second victory in a GP in the premier class of MotoGP. He sent the Spanish Suzuki duo Alex Rins and Joan Mir to their places.
The tragic figure in the race is Takaaki Nakagami. The Japanese celebrated the first pole of his career in MotoGP on Saturday. But then his nerves frustrate his plans. After a few turns, Nakagami slides out of bounds.
Mir can extend his advantage in the World Cup. The Spanish now has 137 points. Behind them are Fabio Quartararo (Fri, 123 points), Maverick Vinales (Sp, 118) and Morbidelli (112). There are still three races left.
Thriller in Moto3
The Moto3 race is a true thriller. No fewer than nine drivers cross the finish line in a large group, all of whom are in a second. The victory is for Jaume Masia (Sp), it is the second in a row. Behind them are the Japanese Ayumu Sasaki (first podium) and Kaito Toba, at 0.051 and 0.152 seconds.
Swiss Jason Dupasquier would have needed a miracle from 30th and last on the grid for World Championship points. But that does not happen. The 19-year-old Freiburg is in 24th place and still awaiting his first points in his debut season. (SME)
