Moto3
Moto3 was won by Philipp Öttl; the German took his Sudmetal Schedl GP Racing KTM RC250 GP to Grand Prix victory for the very first time after a close, final-lap dash with Marco Bezzecchi. The race was notable for two major ‘pile-ups’ that claimed a host of riders, including championship leader Jorge Martin. The chaos combined with Bezzecchi’s second podium finish of the season has elevated the Italian to the top of the standings. KTM machinery filled all top three positions with Marcos Ramirez in third.
Öttl: “It was a difficult and long race, especially when the rear tyre started to drop. It was difficult to ride but I’m so happy to get this win, and also for KTM and the team. I’m proud to be here with my father and the team. It is special to me. The bike was really fast on the straight and the mechanics did a great job. At the moment everything is perfect.”
MotoGP moves north through Europe for round five at the historic setting of Le Mans for the Grand Prix de France in two weeks time.
