Chantra got a perfect start and then managed his race to perfection to complete an untouchable weekend with victory in𓆏 round fourteen of the Moto2 championship a♓t Motegi.

The Idemitsu rider had topped all the practice sessions on his way 💎to pole and backed 𓆉up that performance on race day with a ideal start, to lead at turn one. From there the Thai rider remained in a different league, managing his gap at around the two second mark.

Over the final laps his teammate Ai Ogura charged after Chantra, but 🎀a response saw him able to🍨 lead over the line by a comfortable 1.353s - enough to confidently pull a wheelie over the line as the celebrations began instantly.

It was just Chantra’s second career win.

Acosta recovers from tough start

Pedro Acosta put in a champiಞons performance, gr💫abbing valuable title points with a third place finish.

The R♈ed Bull KTM Ajo rider had qualified fourth and instantly sat up at the opening corner, running wide. The Spaniard was then forced out even further by Aron Canet.

That saw the #37 down in seventh, but wasted no time in starting his fight back. Fourth by lap four after passing Sam Lowes do💞wn the hill, it was Alonso Lopez next on track, who at that point still needed two complete h🍃is double long lap penalty.

Acosta did not have the p꧟ace to catch the Idemitsu riders, but an eleventh podium in a consistentꦰ season saw him extend his title lead once again.

Jake Dixon had fought hard to make it to the front row of the grid, havimg come through Q1 after a 🌼shaky start to his Motegi Moto2 journey.

The Inde GasGa♛s Aspar rider got a strong start and soon found himself back in the company of Lopez, whogot his penalty after contact took Dixon out at the last🦩 round. The #96 did not quite have the pace to run at the front but was a clear fourth at the chequered flag.

Filip Salac was a distant fifth, leading the chasing pa🐼ck over the line for QJMꦿotor Gresini.

The Czech rider pulled away from Manuel Gonzalez (Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Master Camp Team) who was two seconds further back. T♛he Spaniard held a similar gap over seventh placed Marcos Ramirez, who has looked invigorated since taking over the American Racing🍒 seat from Sean Dylan Kelly, claiming his best result of the season after  inishing ninth in India after moving over from the Forward Team.

Aron Canet recovered from his early grip issues which saw him out wide with Acosta, rejoining 13th after qualifying seventh.The P🌞ons rider was a further two seconds down the tr🅷ack for eighth, ahead of Zonta van den Goorbergh, who also needed to recover from a similar start for Fieten Olie Racing.

Darryn Binder was the best of the rookie ride🐠rs in the Moto2 class after Sergio Garcia crashed out of sixth . The South African brought hꦜome his Liqui Moly Husqvarna Kalex in tenth from an 18th placed start after making smooth progress with some hard but fair overtakes.

Arbolino struggles to keep title hopes alive.

Tony Arbolino on൲ce again had a qual🐻ifying to forget. From 13th progression was always going to be tough, but he initially made up two places and was still holding eleventh by lap six. 

The riders in those places were close on track so on the next lap the Elf Marc VDS rider dropped to twelfth, but soon found h🔯is way up to tenth as riders in front exited. 

That set up a big battle over the final laps wi𓆉th four riders i🤡nvolved, Arbolino, Lopez, Izan Guevara and Joe Roberts.

Sensing danger, a la🍌te push saw the ex-cha♍mpionship leader finish eleventh.

Roberts had been much higher, but lost ground saving a fall as he 🥂pushed his bike trough the grꦛavel to then stage a comeback for twelfth for Italtrans.

Lopez was az high as second before he finally set off for hi🅺s two trips down the long lap loop. The Beta Tools Speed Up rider was the best of the Boscoscuro riders in 13th  after Fermin Aldeguer was forced out wide early in the race, finishing 22nd.

The remianing points went to rookie Guevara,who was right behind in 14th for Aspar and BArry Baltus  a distant 15th on the sec🥂ond Fieten Olie Racing 🍸machine.

Crashes, injuries and replacements

Senna Agius (21st) kept Lukas Tulovic’s seat warm at Liqui Moly Husqvarna In♍tact GP, as  he 🐲continues his recovery.

Sean Dylan Kelly, now at Forward, replaced Alex Escriꦛg. The A🀅merican was 23rd

Celestino Vietti broke his pubic bone in India, with MotoE world champion Mattia Casedi stepping in at Fantic Racing. He was last of the racers to fin♒ish after Rory Skinner had to pass him twice after overtaking during one of many yellow flags.

Alon🅷g with Garcia and and a frustrated Sam Lowes, K𝄹ohta Nozane and Dennis Foggia both also finished their races in the gravel.

Where does that leave the championship?

Acosta moves on to a veryও secure 252 points afteꩲr his podium finish. Arbolino remains second, but a distant forty points away on 202.

Jake Dixon remains third after his fourth in the race, with 159 points to his name. Aron Canet stays fourth overall on 124, with Lopez (119), race winner Chantra (114) and Salac (108) all moving ahead ofಌ Vietti in his absence.
