2022 KTM GP Academy, Round 03 of 21, Termas del Rio Hondo (Argentina) - Race

MotoGP made its way back to the quick and relentless #termasderiohondo circuit in #argentina and to race in front of the typically passionate and appreciative native fans for the first time since 2019. Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Danile Holgado managed to capture 7th place in #moto3 while #pedroacosta managed the same ranking in Moto2™.

  • Second top ten #moto3 result in a row for rookie Holgado
  • Tough & sunny races at Termas after #motogp runs a two-day schedule
  • Jaume Masia fights for #moto3 victory until blameless crash causes a DNF
  • Pedro Acosta enters #moto2 top ten with 7th

Moto3

The 21-lap #moto3 #granpremiomichelindelarepublicaargentina began the Sunday schedule and with the teams and riders already familiar with the 5km layout after a busy day of practice and qualification on Saturday. Logistical issues meant that the Grand Prix was forced into a two-day format and KTM captured three positions on the first three rows of the grid.

Teenager #danielholgado maintains an impressive rate of both competitiveness and progress. For the second Grand Prix in a row the Spaniard – who was the top qualifier in 6th place – tussled in the leading group and notched a top ten result with 7th position. Like several of his fellow KTM riders, Holgado was competing at the Argentine facility for the first time. Red Bull KTM Ajo teammate, #jaumemasia, was familiar with the Termas layout and with six laps to go was eying victory as he ran at the peak of the pack. Sadly, the Spaniard was hit off the bike and out of 2nd place by #andreamigno and had to retire.

Red Bull KTM Tech3’s #adrianfernandez and #denizoncu were 13th and 14th respectively as the Spaniard and Turk both had their progress impeded by a Long Lap penalty due to running wide at Turn 9.

Moto2

Moto2 was won by #celestinovietti after an intense 23-lap chase. Red Bull KTM Ajo’s #augustofernandez was unfortunate to slide out of action at the first corner while rookie teammate #pedroacosta scored 7th position. Fernandez is 7th in the championship standings just in front of #moto3 World Champ Acosta.

The #granpremiomichelindelarepublicaargentina is immediately followed by the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas as the long, challenging Circuit of the Americas in Austin, USA will stage round four this coming weekend.
