CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider conquers Silverstone and becomes the fourth British rider to stand on top of the podium in Great Britain

Winning a race is always special, but the feeling of winning at home is even greater. Today, in his sixth GP at Silverstone and in his 96th race in the World Championship, Jake Dixon has finally tasted victory at home. He has got his first win of the season, the third of his Moto2 career, at the British GP, after a great overtaking over Aron Canet on the last lap. Dixon had started from fifth position and had been very strong in the first laps. In fact, on the second lap he was already in second place, behind the Spanish, who has led all but one lap, the most important of all. The CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider has been patient and has made the most of his moment at the start of the last lap. Both have started the final lap separated by 108 thousandths, a sigh, which has prompted the British to try the overtake that made the difference between a simple podium finish and glory. The CFMOTO Inde Aspar rider has been able to maintain the lead position until crossing the finish line, giving Canet no chance. Dixon has managed to get on the podium for the second consecutive race and has become the fourth British rider in history to win at home, ending a nine-year streak without English victories at Silverstone, since Danny Kent won in Moto3 in 2015.

Behind Dixon and Canet, the battle for the last podium position has been very close. Up to six riders have fought in the chasing group throughout the race and, in the end, it has been Celestino Vietti who has finished third. Just behind the Italian has ended World Championship leader Sergio García, who has made a great comeback. With this fourth position, García increases his advantage at the top of the standings to 18 points after seeing his main rivals fail today. Ai Ogura, after fighting for a podium position for much of the race, has been fourteenth, while Joe Roberts has crashed.

CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider Izan Guevara has finished the British GP in twentieth position. The Spanish has suffered a lot throughout the weekend and has started from twenty-fourth position. After the first lap, Guevara has dropped to last position after having had to avoid another rider who had crashed in front of him, but as the race has progressed, he has been able to recover some places until he has crossed the finish line in twentieth place. Now, the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rider already has his mind set on Austria, where he hopes to score points again.

WIN Jake Dixon: “It is a dream come true. Had they told me at the beginning of the weekend that I was going to win, I would not have believed it. I have fought for it, and today I knew I could do it. After last year’s disappointment, winning today is incredible. I am very happy. I have just waited for my moment. The team has done an amazing job, and I hope we can win many more races from now on. I believe in myself more and more. I did not have any doubts today, I knew I could put on a special show.”

20th Izan Guevara (+29.375): “It has been a very complicated weekend in which things did not go our way. I have suffered a lot and I have not been comfortable. I have always tried to get the most out of my potential, but it has been difficult here. I am now focused on Austria, where I hope everything goes better.”
