UPDATE: Fabio Quartararo has been stripped of victory after his Speed Up was found to have 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:an illegal �🦩�rear tyre pressure during 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:post race checks...

Fabio ꦍಞQuartararo bagged his second career win in the intermadiate class after keeping composed as Bagnaia launched his last lap attack in the Moto2 Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi.

The Speed Up rider took the lead on the second lap of the race and was immedia﷽tely hunted down by championship leader Francesco Bagnaia, who was eager to maximise his points difference over the stru♏ggling Miguel Oliveira.

The Frenchman had consistent pace and an answer to every move Bagnaia tried to take the lead and kept the Sky Racing VR46 rider at bay all the way to the chequered flag, winni🀅ng by a margin of just 0.445s.

Polesitter 'Pecco' claimed a lack of grip on the Kalex prevented him pushing further, but second still increases his advantage in the title hunt, no🅘w with a tally of 279 points - 35 ahead of Oliveira.

Lorenzo Baldassarri completed the podium 🔯for Pons HP40 following a lonely, solo ride on track, he finished six seconds behind thꦡe lead duo; but was in turn five seconds clear of fourth placed Oliveira.

The Portuguese rider made up places from his ninth place grid position, but was frustrated not to be able to🗹 get in the mix and fight due to a lack of rear grip and data - it was the Red Bull KTM Ajo’s first weekend around Motegi in the dry after a wet race in their debut season as a moto2 team in 2017. Oliveira can take hope from the fact the next three races last season were all wins for him.

Alex Marquez - who is riding with a cracked shoulder blade following his huge practice crash - fought hard and put pressure on Oliveira in the closing stages. The EG 0,0 Marc V✱DS rider split the KTM pair after being together on track all race when he passed Brad Binder for fifth.

Augusto Fernandez took his best result to date on the🍰 second Pons entry in seventh after pulling out a small g꧙ap over Xavi Vierge who claimed eighth for Dynavolt Intact GP.

The Spaniard enjoyed a late tussle for position with Iker Lecuona. The Swiss Innovative Investors riderꦐ had claimed a fronꦡt row start in qualifying before getting pretty beaten up on the opening lap on his way to ninth.

Luca Marini picked up a few places late on in the race to complete the top te🐎n on th🐓e second Sky Racing entry.

Marcel Schrotter (Dynavolt Intact GP) finished elev🅘enth while Joan Mir was again the 🍎best of the rookies in twelfth for EG 0,0 Marc VDS.

Moto2’s only Japanese rider - Tetsuta Nagashima rose to the occasion on home soil to record his four☂th consecutive points finish in 13th.

Dominique Aegerter battle🍌d his way up to 14🍨th for Kiefer Racing, while Mattia Pasini also picked off positions as the laps counted down to claim 15th and take the final point on offer for Italtrans.

British rider Sam Lowes could only mana🌟ge a best of 18th for the Swiss Inno🌊vative Investors team.

Simone Corsi lasted just five laps before he crashed out, with Federico Fuligꦺni joining him in exiting the race with twelve laps to go. Jorge Navarro slid out of contention two laps later at turn nine. Bo Bendsneyder also failed to go the distance.
