Infamous the Moto3 race that we have lived in Mugello. As is the hallmark of the Italian layout, the winner has not been decided until the checkered flag itself, where Tony Arbolino has surprised Lorenzo Dalla Porta and has snatched a victory that he had deserved by pace and ambition.
He is the sixth different winner in the six races we have carried out this season, which makes it clear that we are facing a category without a king. Arón Canet at least maintains the lead in a race that has not gone well for him, and also Jaume Masiá re-engages the fight with an extraordinary comeback.
Great comeback for Masiá and Canet remains leader
At the start poleman Tony Arbolino started badly and Gabriel Rodrigo took the lead, but soon the Italian regained his position. A macrogroup of pilots was beginning to form, consisting of up to 18 runners. On lap four the first spin was going to come with the fall of Gabri Rodrigo, the rider who started second and dominated the Warm Up.
That fall allowed to break the group and seven pilots were able to leave in search of the podium. They were Lorenzo Dalla Porta, Tony Arbolino, Tatsuki Suzuki, Darryn Binder, John McPhee, Dennis Foggia and Arón Canet. The Leopard pilot tried to pull and open a gap, clearly showing that he had more rhythm than his teammates.
Behind the Spanish Alonso López went to the ground in the chasing group, while Niccolò Antonelli, Jaume Masiá and Andrea Migno managed to make the jump and hook the seven heads. A group of ten pilots was formed in which Dalla Porta did not let go of his head and kept pulling.
However, this category has no order. Lorenzo Dalla Porta resigned seeing that he could not escape and the rhythm dropped. That allowed the entire chasing group to rejoin the head of the race, leaving 17 runners fighting for the podium again. Albert Arenas, Raúl Fernández and Sergio García were among those re-engaged.
Five laps from the end, the lead group was clearing up. Four falls, from Fenati, Migno, Toba and Sasaki, cut the pilots. Dalla Porta again imposed his rhythm and was leading to the last corner, but the slippers played a trick on him and It was Tony Arbolino, the poleman, who took the victory by 29 thousandths.
Jaume Masiá's comeback was incredible, finishing third after a vibrant final lap. Arón Canet has only been able to be seventh but maintains the leadership of the world championship. Points for Raúl Fernández (11th), Albert Arenas (12th) and Sergio García (13th). The race did not finish due to a fault Marcos Ramírez. Vicente Pérez has been nineteenth.
