The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider has scored 78 points in the last five races, the second rider who has achieved the most in the category in that period
The past never comes back, but it remains engraved forever and nothing, or no one, can change it. Jake Dixon will take with him an indelible memory of the 2024 British GP, but right now that is what it is, past, and it is time to focus on a new challenge, the Austrian GP. The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider has been one of the strongest in the championship in the last five races. The crash in Qatar twisted the start of the season but, since the Barcelona race, Jake Dixon has not left the positive path of good results. He was third at the Catalan GP, fourth in Assen, second in Sachsenring and winner in Silverstone. Only the twelfth position in Mugello prevents him from being the Moto2 rider with most points in the last five races. He has scored 78, his whole tally now, a number of points that put him in seventh position in the standings despite only scoring in half of the races. His precedents in Austria are positive: last year he was fourth, one second off the podium, and in 2022 he was third. This weekend, Dixon will fight to get back on the podium and thus continue to reduce the gap in the standings. All of this in a category that has a solid leader: Sergio García. The Spanish rider has an 18-point advantage over teammate Ai Ogura, who is second in the World Championship, and 37 over third-placed Joe Roberts.
CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider Izan Guevara arrives in Austria with his mind set on scoring points in Moto2 again. The British GP was not easy for him, he didn’t feel comfortable throughout the weekend, and in the race he could only finish twentieth. In the Red Bull Ring, the Spanish will fight to get back on the points, something he already achieved there last season. At the 2023 Austrian GP, Guevara managed to score his first points in the intermediate category after finishing in thirteenth position, a result he will fight to improve this weekend.
Jake Dixon: “I fulfilled a dream in Silverstone, but that is now part of the past. Our present is in Austria, in a new race that begins the second half of the championship. In the last five races we have been almost the ones who have scored the most points and I want to maintain that progression in these next races.”
Izan Guevara: “We quickly forgot the result of the last race. It is time to think about finding something that helps us to be able to fight for points again and to bring out our maximum potential. Last year, in Austria, I scored points for the first time in Moto2, but this year we will have to work hard to repeat it.”
