Moto3

As with every Grand Prix, confusion reigns supreme in Moto3 from the start to the finish line straight. The very long finish line straight lends itself to an endless sequence of overtaking and counter-overtaking. At each lap the San Donato braking point shuffles the positions on the track. This allows the drivers who are good in the guided areas to emerge and the Italian drivers prove to be great protagonists. Lunetta e Pini They are the first two to climb into the noble areas of the group, but unfortunately for both of them the race ends prematurely: the first due to contact with Fernandez, caused by Muñoz, the second one instead after a contact with Kelso. In the end, the most experienced of all holds the Italian flag high: Dennis FoggiaThe Roman driver leads the entire last lap, but is outwitted at Bucine by his teammate Quiles e Carp. Maximo Quiles he thus wins the first race of his career and does so at Mugello.
