Former World Champion heaps “most dominant” praise on Jake Dixon
Jake Dixon’s Moto2 win in Ar🔯gentina has been described as his “most dominant performance”.

The 2025 Moto2 season has seen several big names jump ship from Kalex to Boscoscuro chassis in the wake of the Italian constructor’s first world title with Ai Ogura lasඣt year, and after only two races Jake Dixon has won his first race aboard his new b♔ike.
2025’s first Moto2 round saw Celestino Vietti stand out among the Boscoscuro riders, the Italian being the only rider aboard the Italian frame in Thailand to battle for the podium before crashin🌊g out of contention thanks to contact with Senna Agius.
But the Argentinian Grand Prix saw a level of domination from Jake Dixon tha💎t the British rider was never able to demonstrate on the Kalex, winning by 3.525 seconds over Thailand wi🔥nner Manuel Gonzalez.
“It was the most dominant performance of his Grand Prix career,” said TNT Sports presenter and former 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson, spe🍒aking after the Argentina race.
“He’s in his seventh season in Moto2, and what a time to start shining. Even his interviews🦩 seem dif🐲ferent.
“Sometimes his interviews were a bit [of a word salad] in the past,✃ and I know why: because he was trying to say the right things in the past and sometimes you coꩲuld sort of tell deep down he didn’t quite believe what he was saying.
“Obviously, we’ve witnessed that, we’ve witnessed the 🔯growth. What he’s done, he’s had to really take a step back, be vulnerable, seek some outside help fr🅘om the psychology side of racing, which – I talk about a lot – is key.
“We know he’s got the skill, he’s got the technique, so it’s really goo🎃d to see it pay off.”
One of the technical changes Dixon made for the Argentina wee༒kend was the addition of a thumb-operated rear brake to his rider cockpit.
TNT Sports MotoGP analyst Michael Laverty explained that, while it’ಌs clearly been a good adaptation to the thumb brake for Dixon, it’s not a solution that’s straightforward to introduce.
“It takes a while to reprogramme your brai🅺n to use the thumb brake,” Laverty said.
“He probably has a dual system on there where he can use the foot [or] the thumb, but then he kꩵnows where there’s a little bit more to gain from the thumb brake, which is at maximum lean angl🐲e in right-handers you can really use it to turn.
“It’s a♎ work ൲in progress for him, but the fact that he put it on for the first time this weekend from FP1 and then he had the weekend that he had, I think [he should keep it].”
