Moto2, Gp Misano San Marino 2021: Lowes wins, Vietti 4th. Raul Fernandez falls. EMPHASIZES
From the stars to the stables, from the altar to the dust in less than a turn. Raul Fernandez he did everything by himself, halfway through the race, after an excellent start, much better than his qualification (he started ninth); The Spaniard has wasted his chase for the title, incredibly accomplished in that moment: leading the race and leading the world championship. Hooking and overtaking in one go (he started with 9 points to recover from Remy Gardner). Because in the meantime the championship leader was sailing a long way off, after an even worse qualification, such a so-so start, an anonymous race until then. Not to mention the long round of penalties remedied for a contact with Chantra. In other words, the worst race of the year that suddenly changed its face. The Australian must thank his teammate who made a mistake in a fairly simple braking, throwing bikes and points into the gravel of the circuit. Gardner can start again for the next stage, in Portugal, with an 18-point advantage. Meanwhile, the duel between Lowes started from pole and Canet, won by the Englishman, while the Spaniard in the last meters was also seen to happen by Augusto Fernandez, protagonist of an excellent weekend.
Vietti 4th, how many regrets for ‘Bez’
Satisfaction also for Celestino Vietti, started fifth and finished fourth. Regrets instead for Marco Bezzecchi author of a great recovery (he started from the third last row), but finished three laps from the end with a crash. Bitter finish also for Tony Arbolino, crashed seven laps from the finish. Stingy day of satisfaction for the home crowd. With the exception of Vietti and a Manzi all in all positive (sixth), only the recovery of Fabio Di Giannantonio (infinite eighth). Bulega, Corsi and Baldassarri they closed in the last positions.
