2024 Aragon Motorcycle Grand Prix | M3 | JBMotorsports | Race Watch-Along

e e [Music] [Music] we're about to launch into action for Moto 3 here at motorland and Aragon it's round 12 of the season and there is so much Intrigue as to what we could see here today welcome to Aragon welcome back to racing Let's cross over and get ready with the world feed just to reiterate if you are just joining us here the the Riders are talking about how dirty the track is obviously the conditions are patchy but it's been raining at night sort of 4: or 5:00 in the morning really stormy and bringing the dirt back onto the track back and it's been cleaned actually the grid so uh but the rest of the track clearly won't have been uh sorted out and it is just causing grip problems and all sorts of it's tricks this weekend it really is I don't I feel sorry for the organizers that resurfaced this track and there is a period of of the the the race surface the new Surface curing really settling in and we're not at that period yet it's still too early and also this time of year where we are where the track's situated we we we say sometimes it's like you're in the you're on the moon you do feel like you're in the middle of nowhere it's really Barren Dusty dirty and with a little bit of Breeze in the air the rain it just drags all the dirt onto the track so irrespective of how much work the the people do at the track to try and clean the track when it rains it just throws a load of dirt and the only way you can clean it is by riding round so what then happens is you end up with a really narrow racing line so it's going to be this race is going to be so hard and the Moto three boy they're almost the cleaners aren't they really everybody else unfortunately you're looking at shots of Danny helgard line third in the champion ship and you know really really in there we' got ala as well in the mix it's that a big scrap for second in In fairness isn't it it sort of looks like that with um Alonzo with that big lead in the championship I mean Alonzo has won seven out of the 11 races it's just incredible and he's been the fastest by Miles this weekend so yeah it's a big scrap for second I saw ala's qualified lower down than expected I don't know what quite what happened there yeah we not like him he's been the man on form recently so um he'll be hoping to get a good start you qualify lower down in these conditions you have to take a few more risks than you really want to Neil uh Stephan OA alongside Scott Ogden and as I say that Michael walks in I'll let you go and uh you go to commentary Michael you've just been onto the grid clearly mixed conditions on the different sides of where it's wet and dry it's very tricky for them isn't it yeah especially the left side of the Grid it's still quite wet under food it doesn't feel too slick I think the organizers have done a good job of cleaning it overnight and again this morning so it just feels a little disconcerting so you're starting off you could spin off the line you're going down into the breaking Zone and you're on wet weather uh conditions with dry tires so it's going to be a tricky turn one and a tricky first few laps but I think all the Riders worrying about the the dirty track knowing that it may be like Friday morning when the track was really green quite uh quite dirty so high tire wear not a lot of traction in those early laps but as we said all weekend the track continues to evolve with each lap around here that was quite interesting that shot actually it was very different to the one that we saw even 10 minutes ago it looked like that wet line was drying even further yeah it it is the sun's beating down quite strong at the moment so the track it's it's getting better it it will even in these uh after the warmup that's another 5 minutes along the the dry line will continue to to broaden so it just gives you confidence but everyone's going to be a little bit patient in the early laps and and as the race progresses it will get faster and more confidence and sping out there in terms of grip just a quick word about Jos Antonio Raa who's looked good this weekend he's going from a second yeah really strong he has probably been the the standout performer who could take the challenge to David Alonzo today he's back on for as he was in preseason and a quick line on what you how do you think it's going to run out this race I think it'll be the clever Raiders like Alonzo like Colin V will control the pace I think there may be a few uh attritional moments in these early laps Riders going offline to make overtakes and tipping off so yeah get through the first few laps clean and then it'll be a battle thank you very much Michael our first race of the day then as the camera sweeps along the front row of the grid here in Aragon Moto 3 race Neil Hon's running very quickly to join Gavin em good morning thank you very much suer he's not quite made it back yet but for now we are ready to go with this grid with DAR Alonso heading us up looking to take his eighth win of the first 12 ring he's our Championship leader all right is Alonzo and going absolutely brilliantly here it [Music] comes Moto 3 gets underway then with the Aragon Grand Prix and we're all set for what's going to be a very interesting race hello everyone watching live on JB Motorsports 2 and everyone watching on JB Motorsports twitch as well and everyone watching delayed when we upload this to JB Motorsports as well here's your grid then David Alonzo is on poll position with Jos Antonio Ruda and Daniel mun David Muno alongside in third it's pis alongside Kelo and Lanetta halado ahead of beretti via in ninth Ora has the top 10 NEPA from Ogden estan almanza ferito fi Fernandez R Stone Suzuki dweller zorita atama as well in 22nd and Rossi Cado yamanaka Perez and barassi we're underway then on the warm-up lap here for the motorland alagon a crucial round of the championship here and it looks like uh the F2 race is literally just finished when um we J here for Moto 3 so that's how the timing goes at the moment it seems it's just one after the other perfect timing then here at the moment as we get ready for the next action they're on the parade lap then let's check in with our C team Gavin em alongside Neil Hudson Alonzo by the way leads by 71 points in this Championship yeah yeah I've got to say I mean in a weird so way DAV Alonzo is unlucky because if it was a normal dry day if it not rained overnight at a said L he's going to absolutely check out but these conditions are super tricky so if I was uh David Alonzo's team manager I'd be saying do not risk anything on the opening laps your pace is so much better let the race come to you every rid has complained about grip levels all weekend but certainly after the rain so this is as tough as it gets we don't often talk about Moto 3 tires but I think it's important to because we have seen graining serious graining in motor GP and we we expect it in both Moto 2 and Moto 3 with the pelli tires now pretty much everyone's gone with the the harder options available so that's the medium front in Moto 3 uh and the medium rear but there was a third Tire brought this weekend for safety and it was called instead of the SC2 medium which is the majority on the c1096 it's Snappy R off the tongue nicely that one but importantly Jos Antonio Reda and anel to caras as well as philippo farioli and shabi for first back but more importantly Rena second caras in fourth he's a development hard Tire trell have brought for safety here and second and four from the grid have gone for it that's really interesting so I was going to say my dark horse is picas the rookie look good this weekend look really confident if he's chosen that tire what could happen when there's less rubber on the track the tires we more it sort of it tears them a little bit more so that could be a really clever move and you know what the opening laps the pace is going to be really low anyway so that could really work for him that's interesting isn't it I you got hard of tired sometimes opening lap you can lose yeah if as everybody like pulls away I think the group will stay together and then he he'll have the best time for the second half but eight of 12 races then so far this season for Alonzo can he get another Victory a 71 points clear in the championship as things stand it's an amazing Gap at the moment and the tension very much is rising red flag at the front then dry track damp track greasy slippery M of three are being thrown into the extreme here standby for action and an all encompassing first lap we're all set then for motand Aragon's return it's lights out for Moto 3 gingerly everybody pulls away David Alonzo on the dry line leads down towards turn number one rud is on the inside and look at out everyone who started on the inside line The Damp part the track they've dropped back massively Ruda to Second P up to third Lanetta fourth alardo in fifth every body again having that change over time and I'm not expecting many moves on the opening lap they're all going to be gingerly going through just making sure it's all okay as they come through three wide Ruda pis and Lanetta not caring at all whether or not this is going to be a race to contend with they are pushing like absolute crazy Munos has dropped down to 14th Place how they could decide that that was a fair thing I don't know with sending it through on the side line it it didn't make sense to me as to how it was fair to have that run on the inside Ogden up into 11th position as well atam is down 23rd rules stting 24th we come through five six and seven the bottom half of the track then for the first time Alonzo leads this race so far forito up toight beretti takes 10th position Scott Ogden as I said it's still in 11th as they fly back through Bas has got a massive launch lyet coming through R yeah Jose Antonio rud coming now into 10 11 they're all going to change places but three wide coming through in about four rows deep coming into 10 12 they really have not taken a care in the world here they are going to throw it in and just see what works and what doesn't and then whatever it does it we'll just do it we won't do it again in that next lap okay so far Alonzo 1.6 seconds already now that's just insane you can tell that the track here is just getting up to grip again it's a completely different situation Kelo to the inside takes second position and that's because picas losing out of RA playing at the last Corner went too wide and it's just going to be this situation where you're toing and throwing for the entire race over the line we go then one lap complete 15 to go on to lap two Hollard up to third place no one Touching The Damp line which half the field started on that's going to take a long time time to drive might even be dangerous in Moto 2 when we get going in an hour 15 and Alonzo still pushing hard the front he's got that dry line rude is up into seventh position on netan Al TOA down into eighth and Ninth places as the field again you can see on the Tim screen just churning places as up the inside oh little twitch as well from for from Ty forato and berti came back through as well so for start really having trouble there just the danger parts of the circuit where he can just snap at you just a little little nudge and it just sends you down the deck Alonzo still leads Ruda up into position Zab zurita is up to 11 now Scott Alon is in P9 austo Fern Adrian Fernandez passing jardo who drops down to places he's at 15 places of where he started storming start Fernandez that's helped by starting on the right hand side of the track the dry line coming down towards turn number one compared to the rest of the field Halala swings around the outside of rudo as well Alonzo is now 2 seconds up the road he's not paying any attention at all to this into the chicanes once more 13 14 15 last two corners 16 17 on the circuit back we go again then Suzuki Ed down to 12th we now watching re on the back of halado halado very much not moving it's a long line effect as we come under pressure to turn number 16 the last Corner then 17 Fernandez to the inside of Kelo Kelo twitching Fernandez gets such a great exit up towards the line and Fernandez makes the move with Kelo not being on the right he doesn't feel safe enough Fernandez is a 205 3 42 he's 510 of a lap faster than Alonzo is and Alonzo is leading the race by 2 seconds that's going to come down Fernandez has got enormous grip up there the uh the leopard racing Squad is looking fantastic compared to the uh the G aspa well the aspar team of Alonzo first sector 352 for Alonzo 353 for Fernandez just wa to see if that's going to change over between the two it's a weird turnaround at the moment isn't it as we uh take a seat up here in the coms box move camera angles 15 laps to go here's David Muno in a 12th position home soil here in Aragon Spain a few Riders twitching over places as well they don't want to get messed up in any of this they know what they could have wrong with them if they even attempt an overtake that could drastically go Rong off the racing line here and it's just going to spit you up Alonzo though proving why he's leading and dominating the Moto three Championship uh just as rightly as he does side by side jardo trying to pass foro for's back through for fifth position a nice move as well to contend with into the break for the Chan 1.9 seconds Alonzo leads then at the front of the field they turn and control again pedal to the metal it's sheer poetry out here right now again just a few tight positions on the circuit down down down a few Alonzo now losing out 2.8 seconds now as they come over the line let's check in with TNT opportunity so it's going to be there will be some riders that will be won be able to do that the one I'm looking at sh we s yeah up toight 21st on the grid and the youngster a rookie this year he's looking for a ride actually after one season with the iot sounds like he's on his way out from there but sza's react to that isn't he and he's up into Ninth Place M Bell into seventh had a really tough year but thinking right this is my chance they on the yellow bike good to see you have a chance of getting a Podium you really have if you're prepared to risk a a little bit more risking here yeah on the inside of Kelo who was second a momento and now finds himself back in seventh come straight back at the Italian B Colin fire is the fastest Rider on track on that last lap with 204.04 [Music] point4 yeah the beauty for Alonzo now because he's got that lead you can control it from the front even at this point even with 17 sorry 14 laps to go watch your pitboard try and keep that Gap now at 2 seconds don't over stretch your tires cuz like we we've said earlier they are going to wear a lot in these conditions look at the dirt you can see the dirt if you go bline you can see it dust and grit and all that lot sand there's a lot of sand on the track and what do what does that do to the tires now it it's like it's like getting a Brillo padel sandpaper literally just roughing up the edges of the tire tell we've SE it before S A Lot in Indonesia when there's a lot of sand and dirt on that track out in mandica yeah it took a while for that to actually rub back in didn't it Alonzo now leads by 89 points in the championship to Hollard Who's down in fifth position this is amazing from Alonzo the Colombian Rider just getting faster and faster and faster race upon race weekend upon weekend as they come into the breaking Zone once again chose three and four battling for rato Fernandez and Ruda rud's pass for aato so Ruda up into third it's not the usual Moto 3 race that we've been expecting this W this damp track still playing a major factor in it stried out a lot over the past hour though VI Letta PES all setting the fastest lap Ruda getting sent out wide there H that was Zoro as well getting sent out losing down into 12th position side by side for gets back ahead of Adrian Fernandez so back up into second now all these squabblings means that Alonzo is still two seconds ahead of them at the front of the field which doesn't really change doesn't really adjust anything it just sort of keeps everything the same and doesn't really do much help out in the circuit Ruda passes halado PES is down has to be for him to yeah he's gone off the track pis has gone off the track now as he rejoined safely I saw him dive off the circuit I think he has no he's yellow flag I bet he's lost it so pis is crashed out rder okay turn nine downhill section of the circuit nine times out T you just go but still it's G great there he is trying to get restarted well let's take a look he's just going to go straight on and then I think he's going to drop it when he tried to take it downhill how did he drop it oh he dropped it at the exit when he came off the runoff area that's bizar and turn nine and that's what happens on occasion so an help care has talk that empty helmet could be about to buy him out of his layer contract we're talking the rumor is Moto G money to do so I tell you what though I'm impressed with him what I've seen definitely in his rookie year but maybe not to that extent he to be on the KTM obviously he gave up his KTM contract last year 's closing you on a long so he gave up his contract last year so as far as red KTM was sort thinking well you said no to us last year you know why am I going to give you a ride you've already had one contract buyout but empty helmets could well offer him a few they've got a load of money do you know we've seen this before we actually saw with Fabio quaro really early on in his career he he he came in with the problem is when you win all the junior sort of championships you come in with your chest out the problem is you've not got proper management around you and you can make some silly decisions really your career W it's tight through there oh three wide Colin V taking through on the inside line that's taking some nice places so yeah they're not fearful here are they at this place V is now up into third place by the way gets ahead of Ruda and uh Fernandez Fernand dropping back Major he's down to six now load of places lost and he's now yeah H going through on the inside line Fernandez just did not pay attention at all in that part of the track down we go again Ruda trying to get through on fire into turn 12 not going to work out there through 13 14 and 15 then the chicane area of this circuit that takes out the straight line fast effect don't know why but rev limiter I suppose Aragon definitely is I think the best motorcycle track for MotoG GP in Spain kind of ruined slightly by this ridiculous ashal that's been put down and kind of spoiled it all it's been put down to we're racing here too early he hasn't had time to bed in just it's too rich and absorbing the heat as well as they come over the line again then Alonzo by 1.3 seconds and takes the fast St but for rato was quicker by 1.5 seconds on that last lap time so this is now foro really bringing that gap down to Lonzo meantime Fernandez and Lanetta battling out together as well Letta stays ahead of and then holl ahead of Fernandez 2 Letta and Fernandez we're in a battle actually and it's instant evolving in turn eight an investigation by the stewards now so there's something not quite right there either as they attack back alono lead by 1.8 seconds lap seven of 17 K is last year actually two an help to car us and uh he Haven followed Bera really over the top there no penalties for that cuz it's a high misano curb uh but yeah Lun has done well hasn't it yeah it's been it's been a strong rookie season but the good news is there's been signs here during certain points of weekends the odd race here and there is looked strong he's been up at the mix at the front of races in the battle and you feel with some of the top boys moving up to motor 2 next year lto being a really strong position to don't he'll fight for the title but i' like to see him fight inside the top five as well he's always been there trying to help out T he was second to us in the junior GP race last year here so like Aragon so FAS must have made a mistake because he's been passed oh yeah by fire yeah must have been yeah as he's pushing on it's the warning isn't it for Fato so good spot Neil Colin fire up to second now and if things stay the same by the end of this race fire would be past Oro back to second in the championship and Alonzo will have 87 point lead in the championship I mean is this going to be a record for someone being crowned well champion at the earliest Point ever yeah I mean it's 20 20 before the Flyway start pretty much well if if he wins mizo one and two yeah remarkable would would be remarkable put it past him as l l late L Antonio and game you see as soon as those shots with the lowest and you can actually see where the track is starting to be cleaned up and the rubber is starting to be laid down and how dirty it is as soon as you get off that that line what what it happens is your mistakes are punished if you get offline you then can't keep the same Corner speed or anything like that you have to stand the bike up almost like it's slightly wet yellow flag take to one barassi has crashed out apparently according to our monitors so bar uh tackle Hall barassi out and Yeah RI and AD passes as well on our timing Tower so that's unfortunate there on the running order already a couple already out of this race Alonzo two seconds ahead to V now v a second ahead of forato don't know it's just the pelli tires should be giving as a bigger runaround and it's not as many riders running off the track there for a one of them that's going to Lu Letta to send him around the outside and he's thr the inside line into turn 12 so for losing out to look Letta there and I swear rud went off the track as well so you'll get a track limits warning watch out for Kelo to come back through and have an attack again on the line all changing then here 10 to go and not the usual Moto 3 Bonanza we see thanks to these difficult track conditions out here you during the race he' run into your back wheel so if you're in a corner it tapped you with its front wheel onto your back wheel dangerous for him but he used to do it and I think I know you're there yeah don't proper Legend he a legend off the track yeah he liked to party he was he was he came across he was R around the Panic smoking and drinking like he would definitely wasn't an athlete hey cred on a 500 but like wasn't he when he wrote as a wild card as well talent that was all natural talent and aggression that lovely mixture horrible to race against and I think fos you're right has a little bit of edge I'm not sure he's quite the wild man though F I've not seen with a cigarette and a p a mile walking through the P just yet but this time yeah flag to four let's not encourage it let's not encourage it so Alonzo is really he so Alonzo he's so responded he set the fastest lap of the race on the last lap it's pretty much oh no sorry um he his fastest lap of of the race V's responded behind him but but he's controlling that Gap at two seconds really well yeah 1. n93 across the line it was it's come down a little bit more so K is starting to get the bit between his teeth here oh yeah he is you can tell just eatting to 1.4 the Gap yeah alono yeah 1.4 halfway point of the race eight and a half down eight and a half to go here so he is just fi stopped with a technical issue by the way I like what I'm seeing here from Colin V but do you know what we've got on track for me the two smartest Riders In Moto 3 one and two yeah yeah I'm not going to argue with that yeah these are the class of the field yeah they always do by themselves yeah allers a Sunday man I don't see Oto who sits still sits second in the championship he don't put his weekend together quite as good he's more of an out andout Scrapper when he comes to that battle that's what I see he's got maybe Ray scra or gu shall we say but I feel like fire it's all calculated they do the way they do practice and and and if you've got that then you'll you've got more chance of progressing through the ranks better V just did a 2011. 292 the Gap now between him and Alonzo stands at 1.2 seconds so the it could happen you know that we're going to see an overtake finally for a lead in a moto 3 race and I'll be the first to say that's fantastic news and it it's very well deserved thezone V now the Gap well 810 V took out the last lap time alone so Moto 3 starting to become a little bit more exciting here brilliant exactly what we wanted to see exactly what I feel we need to see here we we we we're done with having these problems out in the circuit Time After Time more action at the front please that's that's what we like to see rude I'm moving out a couple of places as well yeah just going to hold it together and yeah there isn't much problematics out there at the moment going from race control which is okay not many messages coming through just for stop with a technical issue that's what caused the yellow flag in the last sector rato has been given a track limit warning now by the stewards the Gap is now down to 810 of a second VI has closed in Alonzo massively the Colombians in real trouble David Alonzo has he gone too early with these pelli tires is V take through for the win but we are getting to that stage in the race that if they are going to start to to tear up a little bit you just see a darkg line on the rear tires had our first track limits warning and it comes for tyo Fato there in number 72 in fifth place who is just about to be passed by Joel Kelo too many track limits areas on this racetrack cuz they got the curbs in a lot of uh places around like there's one if you were to keep running then you would hit the green so there's still a couple of areas where there is green paint around but for RAR keeps hitting it another one here Neil to keep an eye on is Jos Antonio r with that development hard Tire faster than both Bayer and Alonzo fact he was 1.2 quicker than Alonzo on that last lap this would be this would be some some Choice by you know taking a risk using a development tire but a harder compound tire is going to start working about now so it's be really interesting to see I look at that I mean that's crazy to deal with the Heat and the build up in the tires they brought this hard option acely they normally only get a couple of options and they won't have had much scope to use it will they at any point this weekend really no that could be a shot it's a roll of dice isn't it going listen it's it's a harder compounder it's not not a huge step probably worth the risk lunetta with him intriguing end we've got coming in this Moto 3 race what if the drag lunetta up to these lot I don't CRA my fingers you saw Rua run right off the track at the back but you're allowed to do that yeah it's not um because you don't gain Time by it they've not painted the let's say the outside of the track there green there's loads of run off so there's not safety issue it's self policing look he's lost a place because of it just to sum it up obviously pushing that little bit too much here we go we're going to see what sh is going to go wide here there you go track it's that turn n again be dirty out there as well all the Riders saying Turn n to the worst the feeling on this whole race TR and it was on the exit there that just got it all on Rua rejoint is's back in front of LCA lunetta we got scrap at the front it looks like we are side by side almost now with Colin V yeah and these boys are closing in fast even with that watch this even with that mistake running off the track losing the time last time then was a second again faster than your leader yeah this is really now becoming a case of VI is going to attack the front attack attack attack attack it's not going to be a question of all let's see what happens next V is already on the back and he's going for it and he gets through Colin V to the inside of turn four takes the lead of David Alonzo as they come into to six he's already done it cin V leads and now Ruda and Lanetta are battling out rud's ahead of Lanetta and they're closing in a four-way scrap is fighting here between the top in the championship Alonzo course leads but Colin V he closest Championship Contender well this is certainly giving uh entertainment to the books Let's Take it what a what a race we got coming that's so bad let me just look how many laps six laps to go that's a mess yeah P him out it's the worst feeling essentially What It's Like You on the full lean there when you're right in the corner the bike usually doesn't want to turn this is definitely going to be a damage limitation don't get me wrong the other tires could look the same but we know Rua he's sco his third he's got that Harden Tire it's less likely to tear I wonder what the car would have done as well if he hadn't have crashed with his incident through the reverse cor screw but raer right on the back Lunette has been brought along for the ride and having think having thought the first stages of this race that we weren't going to get one yeah we've all changed now hasn't it because now Alonzo's going to get passed by Ruda VI has moved up by a tenth of a second rud is going to go into second position to the inside line the last Corner against out of Alonzo who nearly takes out his front wheel and Luca laneta is going to go through as well he elbows out David Alonzo the championship leader Alonzo says no you don't you hold your ground and he stays through on the outside line and now the real battle starts as they come over the line down and again into towards turn number one five to go go and it's an allout War V leads rudo in second rudo wants this race lead as well and it's just it's anybody's guess as to who's going to win it's a scary situation what we've got coming through right now because everybody knows it's one mistake one tiny mistake will change everything and that sometimes is interesting look L's best finish his sixth back in the Netherlands earlier on this year for him to be running right now in third position is Unthinkable it's his rookie year as well he's going absolutely brilliantly and credit with credit's due has the pace Alonzo down in fourth position so that move got changed over again re is going for second R is going for the lead inside line turn nine and 10 and the Spanish crowd erupts as Jose Antonio r takes the lead of the Aragon gr Prix the Dutchman of Colin V though trying to come back Alonzo's going on the inside looka as well the Colombia not done oh fantastic racing Ruda on for his first ever win his best finish was second back at the Portuguese Grand Prix earlier on this year is he about to claim a numo Uno no Victory still they'll hold it together over the straight we go down towards the last two corners here in aagon still four to go after this it's a Long Lap 2 minutes per lap 8 minutes left to go the race and that could be even more crucial planeta got a lovely sling shot Corner got the inside line yeah D alono scrapping isn't he here with what he's got left but we've seen a closeup of his rear tire I don't think he's got too much to be able to scrap lunetta will be having his own issues as well so alono just needs to stay in there and do what he can and however much he's tried to be gentle on the tire it's not worked yeah I'm going to go and look at these tires after the race it's really interesting to check and and and it's going to be a story of the day we're going to see it in motor we're going to see it in Mot absolutely well in Moto GP it was both sides of the tire W they were really marked up at the end of the Sprint race they have been mandated in Moto GP they're not going to run the so they're not allowed to run the off KTMs were hoping to use that actually well they they considered it they they had Pace on it um but they're not going to be allowed in most GP and it's all down to uh not not say a low grip track the actual asphalt has grip but it's dirty in there isn't it and he rubber laid down yeah not surprised especially with overnight rain again so three and a half to go Jos Antonio Rua could be about to take Aki's first win in Moto 3 this year of R has a moment at turn 12 and that will just give a bit of encouragement to Colin V that all started in the breaking Zone he had a little bit of lead angle and he just touched the white line you can see it pushed the front a little bit he had to let the break off and then he was wide as soon as he went wide onto the slippy part of the track lost more time and like you said then if you calling by her you're like right perfect he's on the limit not in control of this this is him going wide so get ready the bike's going to move is it the front of the rear looks like the rear how is Antonio rer is not I'm just having a look back at my stats not won a race since halfway through his Junior GP season in 2022 at the AL yeah he he just he basically managed it home and Managed IT home in rookies sat something in that one so a long long time since he's won a gr fre yeah so he's not been a winning machine actually he's been super consistent W championships so yeah yeah so so basically he'll be nervous now he'll be riding tight three laps to go it's not a foregone conclusion he's not in control you're right Colin V has been there and done that they battled in the pass together actually if you think back to some of the rookie State col by was second two away in the Red Bull rookies Championship was six to him in the junior GP Championship one thing about VI though he's not the sort on the last lap to pull a real rash move he's not uh one of the Wilder Riders Lono Dro right back now yeah he's had a pulled on him think back to that one with Sasaki last year in India see there he has here's been with that for so Alonzo then couldn't even tip in well coming 910 quicker than him on that last lap the gap between them is at 1.1 I tell you what if and also right now if you're Alonzo's team you put on the pitboard P5 cuz what you don't want him to do now this these are the championship winning rides where you bring it all you have a f there a four you don't want now to panic thinking that I'm being closed there yeah a fifth place finish now for a long so happy days still not clear which way the wind's going to go here cuz lunetta is also closing you know on this lap he's come back to fire and Rua title fight he's there third place bright yellow lid on the number 58 Luca Letta turn 16 and 17 for there and is in these left handers where he has a little bit more they get such a hammering around the leanders here through 16 and 17 through 9 101 for Jos Antonio with two laps to go leading the way no looking back either he's keeping the advantage very much Straight Ahead look forward I think that's the way you need to be the championship is turning on its head it's spiraling around but it is giving us absolutely fantastic racing Alonzo running out of tires dropping down into fourth position Ruda on course for his first ever race win and a race win that he absolutely thoroughly thoroughly deserves as well he's had to wait so long for it there's Kelo he's 1.3 seconds back to David Alonzo Ruda holds off VI the Gap is a second now just twitching the bike coming out as well out of turn 10 down to 12 now lunging forward on the break downhill second gear then through into 13 14 15 to the Chic then back down 16 17 the last two corners on this track throws the bikes in it's going be one more turn of the dice though I don't think V has got enough Tire left in him as well Ruden might have got this one the 99 is about to become number one for the first ever time that would be nice feeling for him to get a race win in an unpredictable season in mod well in predictable season of MTO three I feel like I should say it's it is always predictable last two points up to the line we go then one more to go 710 between rudo and V into turn one as V got anything to close in the last two minutes of this race I don't think he does I I generally don't it's not that part of the track where you go oh okay let's go for a move let's see if anything's going to be friendly it's it's it's a difficult hard abrasive circuit Ruda still holds in they fly through and I think it's going to be a Spanish winner in Aragon how marvelous is this a proper attack a proper Monumental race win is coming down through nine the reverse screw through 10 just keeping it holding together 1.4 seconds he's actually increase the gap on this lap last on the page is Antonio is Jose Antonio Ruda 9 the last number you can run in the series it puts it right at the bottom of the stat sheet and often forget he's there at the bottom of the page no race wins to his name no Championship but such an impressive Rider who is growing from strength
