A race thrown away while he was dominating. Joe Roberts will have to mull over for a long time for that mistake made on the 11th of the 22 laps, when he had an abysmal advantage of 2 ”465 over the first of his pursuers, the English Jake Dixon, for a possible second victory that would have forcefully inserted him in the fight for the World Cup. The mistake of the American of the Italtrans team has completely reopened the games for the victory, with a great Celestino Vietti who at the end of a muscular fight right on the last lap manages to get the better of Aron Canet. To keep company with the two on the podium, here is the Spaniard Augusto Fernandez. It is the third victory for the Turin of the VR46 team, more and more usual leader of the championship, given that the not too happy day of Ai Ogura, in the end only 7th, allows him to lead the Japanese by 16 points, who on the eve he occupied with him the top of the World Championship at 108.

The new classification, as we approach the mid-season turning point, now sees Vietti leading with 133 points, against Ogura’s 117. “For me it was a fantastic weekend, we were struggling on Friday but we worked well. I was very good with the brakes, at the beginning I suffered a little with the high temperatures, but then the situation improved, Canet was very strong, but I always believed in it, and a great victory came out, “says Vietti happily. .

But 5 heavy points are also those snatched from Canet, always among the great protagonists in the last few races, and third in the standings with 109 points. The top five is completed by Dixon, 4th, and Marcel Schroetter, 5th ahead of Pedro Acosta. Tenth, but author of a colorless test, Tony Arbolino, who also made a double long penalty and is further and further away in the championship: the driver of the Marc VdS team slips to 5th place in the general with 89 points to 7 from Fernandez and 3 in front of Roberts.
