Izan Guevara shines under the Motegi sun. In conditions opposite to the water-soaked qualifications, the Spaniard of GasGas of the Aspar team prevails in the Japanese GP of the Moto3, captures the fifth success of the season and extends to the top of the World Championship. With the victory, obtained with a masterful conduct for sprinting at the start, management and speed, Guevara repels the assault of Dennis Foggia, which ends behind him for 593 thousandths, and digs a challenging furrow in the standings: 45 points on his teammate Sergio Garcia , 4th after a not very brilliant race, and 63 on Foggia himself who tried to chase him in the final, but was rejected. Good race for the Roman of the Leopard who bowed to the driver in better shape of the moment and who in the World Championship has almost two races of advantage when at the end of the season there are four.

the race

At the start, a sprint by poleman Tatsuki Suzuki, but in the middle of the lap Guevara already took the lead, from ninth on the grid, with Sasaki, Garcia and Foggia in the top positions. On lap 5, Suzuki’s hopes are shattered in a crash at turn 5, while the Sasaki-Guevara-Foggia trio stretches out with Jaume Masia to complete the poker fugitives. The four study each other, careful not to reveal their cards until the final bars. With 4 laps to go Guevara stretches and Masia runs into a bad flight at turn 12 to try to keep up with him. Foggia tries forcing in the final, but Guevara is good at not making mistakes and closing the game in his favor. It is a thrust that he knows of a mortgage on the title of the small ones.
