Sam Lowes has achieved a miraculous victory at MisanoNot only because he has gone from scare to scare the entire race but because the victory was in the hands of Raúl Fernández. The Spanish rider made the comeback but then fell when he was already leading and after stepping on a wet spot.
The great beneficiary is a Remy Gardner who has had a terrible day, but leaves Misano with 18 points of advantage. The world leader has not had a rhythm and also has thrown Somkiat Chantra to the ground, for which he has had to serve a 'Long Lap Penalty'. Augusto Fernández and Arón Canet complete the podium.
Garnder threw Chantra and had to serve a 'Long Lap Penalty'
At the start Sam Lowes managed to maintain the first position ahead of Arón Canet. Jorge Navarro also sneaked into an Augusto Fernández who, to top it all, was going to have to serve a 'Long Lap Penalty'. Canet put first and Raúl Fernández was already seventhwhile Remy Gardner was still stuck.
Raúl Fernández came on until he was fourth, stalking Jorge Navarro. Although the Valencian gave a pull not only to overcome Lowes, but also to hunt down Canet and become the leader of the race. There were constant changes at the head, and the one who benefited the most from this was Raúl Fernández, already third.
With a special decoration in tribute to Valentino Rossi, Celestino Vietti was also flying and approaching the first positions of the race. In fact, Sam Lowes had opened a certain gap in the head, although Fernández was already starting to shoot to cut those eight tenths that the British got from him.
Remy Gardner's mistake, who threw Somkiat Chantra to the ground in the middle of the comeback. A penalty seemed inevitable. And ahead Fernández was already on top of Lowes, although he had taken Canet into his slipstream. Augusto Fernández already surpassed a Gardner who lost rhythm after the touch with Chantra.
Twelve laps from the end, Fernández was leading the race and Gardner received a 'Long Lap Penalty'. Fantastic laps for the Spaniard, who had everything to face to be the leader of the world championship. But then came the hit to the race and the world championship: Raúl Fernández suffered a very strange fall, probably due to stepping on moisture.
The falls were beginning to pile up. Xavi Vierge and Tony Arbolino were next, while now Marco Bezzecchi pressed a Gardner who to top it off had another warning for stepping off the track. Change in the head of the race, where Arón Canet overtook Lowes with eight laps to go.
Bezzecchi was already passing Gardner to return him to eighth position, but Marcos Ramírez was too far away for the Australian to suffer further. The emotion was centered on the fight for victory between Lowes, who was going from scare to scare, and Canet. Vietti and Fernández surpassed Navarro, and Lowes returned to hunt down Canet to pass him. Fall of Bezzecchi.
Victory for Sam Lowes, who regains his triumphal path so many months later of that dazzling beginning. Second position for Augusto Fernández after a controversial last corner with Canet, who entered the finish line complaining but still got on the podium. Finally Remy Gardner has finished seventh and extends the advantage.
