Martín loses the Austrian double in the moviola

The agony of Jorge Martin at the end of the Moto2 race of the Styrian GP he had no prize. The Madrid rider, very solid throughout the first part of the test, opened a gap that at times seemed like it would be more than enough to score his second win in the category, a week after the first, on the same stage. Behind, first Nagashima, then Gardner and finally Bezzecchi, were relieved in second place, while ahead nothing changed, in a race from which they remained was very soon the author of the ‘pole’, Arón Canet, and the one who came out fourth, Augusto Fernández.

It was the Italian who managed to put one more point, while smelling how Martín was losing his rhythm. A chase that came with everything open to which it ended up being a fateful last lap for the Spaniard. He managed to control the thrust of his rival, kept him at a distance, and was able to cross the finish line in the first position, by a scarce 60 thousandths … A triumph that he knew was not his when he parked his motorcycle in the parc fermé. There, the race managers informed him that there was stepped on the green area on the outside of turn 8, and that considering that he had benefited from that slight off-track, he had lost a position.

«I didn’t think I would have played, and I think we won in an incredible way, and although in the end Bezzecchi had a little more, the truth is that I think he deserved this victory and for that part I am not satisfied. But yes I am with the performance and we will try again in Misano “, expressed a disappointed Martín who, nevertheless, leaves Austria just eight points behind the leader, Luca Marini, which could only be seventh.
