The CFMOTO Aspar Team rider has finished twelfth in the Spanish Grand Prix
Fermín Aldeguer has taken his first win of the season at the Spanish Grand Prix. Aldeguer achieved pole position yesterday at the Circuito de Jerez - Ángel Nieto, but he has not had a good start and has lost positions with Manu González and Sergio García. However, Aldeguer’s race pace was superior compared to his rivals’ and he has been able to regain the lead on lap six. Joe Roberts has crossed the finish line behind him and has completed a great comeback from eleventh place, while González has finished third. Roberts' second place makes him the new World Championship leader, the fourth different leader this season.
CFMOTO Aspar Team rider Izan Guevara has scored his first points of the year, the team's first points in Moto2. Guevara has had his best weekend so far this season: he went straight through to Q2, qualified fifteenth and has crossed the line in the race in twelfth position. The Spanish rider's race pace has been very positive, which has allowed him to complete a great performance at the Spanish Grand Prix, what he hopes to be a turning point in his season. His teammate Jake Dixon has been unable to finish the race. The British has started from the front row of the grid, but a crash in the first half of the race, when he was seventh, has ended all his chances of fighting for a good result. Dixon has returned to the bike and has completed almost the entire race alone, in the last positions, until he has entered the pits on the last lap, when he was nineteenth.
12th Izan Guevara (+21.779): "It has been a positive weekend in which I have been able to score my first points of the season. I have had a very competitive race, I have set a good pace, with only a five-tenths difference between the best and the worst lap. We know where we can improve with the data we have and we will work on this on Tuesday's test to make further progress."
Jake Dixon (retired): “I am disappointed. I have tried everything in the race. I was fighting with the front group, but I was struggling a lot. I just slide in the last corner and unfortunately, I just go down, a similar crash that the one I had in Austin. No one is more frustrated than me at the moment. Not competing in two races and crashing in the other two is not what I expected. I am giving the 100% on the bike. People could say that the important thing is to finish the race but, when you know you are capable of more and you try and you fight with the front group, you do not want to sit and watch around. This is not why I race. We need to work in the test to find something more.”
