Moto3, GP Misano (San Marino) 2022: Foggia wins and reopens the World Championship. Guevara new boss
The best version of Dennis Foggia. Perfect, lucid in the management of the race, soon at the decisive moment. The Roman has beaten Misano, only Honda against the KTMs. She has put four of them behind, the most fearsome: Masia, Guevara, Oncu and Holgado. They raced together, all four of them, another planet than the group detached in the middle of the race. Suzuki resisted with Moreira, favorites from the slightly higher times in the second part of the race, when Dennis took the reins of the race after chasing Guevara for nine laps, who started very well at the start. He seemed to have more of the Spaniard of Gas Gas, he tried the break immediately, a few tenths, up to 5 on the Roman who did not give up, did not fall into the trap. Dennis kept Izan in his sights, managing with intelligence. At the right moment he changed the map, stitched up and put Guevara behind (“I knew he would go down,” Foggia said). A matter of a few curves. Then he managed the pace, a few tenths less on the lap, to try the final tear. But behind him an angry pack. Masia, the hungriest, put in Guevara and Foggia who responded immediately. “Today I am in charge” the Roman made him understand. Guevara also tried it, twice at the sunset curve. Foggia replied again at the “Curvone”. On the last lap Dennis was in the lead Guevara, slipped in the rear of the leading group, elbowed with Masia and Holgado, Foggia took advantage of it by taking those few meters of advantage that he kept until the finish, with the now destroyed. Heavy victory with Garcia out of the game on the third lap, after having buffered Oncu before lying down on his own.
Foggia at -35 from the new leader Guevara
The world leader (up to the start) also took a black flag, after being back in the saddle. His teammate is the new leader, by 11 points, Dennis recovers 9 and goes to minus 35. An injection of confidence after the colorless test of the Red Bull Ring. That’s Dennis, brilliant victories and some off-key notes. Otherwise he would be leading the world championship. But the talent is there (it is no coincidence that next year he will move to Moto2 with Italtrans) and when it explodes it cancels the competition. “I prayed it wouldn’t rain … – he said – but since Friday the bike was perfect. I wanted this victory with all my heart, I dreamed of it. I’m really happy, because my whole family is there who made so many sacrifices to make me race. ”The joy of Foggia is the only one in the Italian Moto3 troop: Andrea Migno crashed at the beginning of the second, at the entrance to the first corner, Rossi finished out of the top ten, behind Nepaltenth. Biaggi had to swallow Sasaki’s zeroamong the favorites at the start, drawn up by Carraro immediately after departure.
