It's a ride that Sam Lowes enjoyed on the Aragon track this Sunday. Quite the opposite of a Johann Zarco with a path strewn with pitfalls. He finished eighth behind Rins in sixth.
Johann Zarco predicted it, his rival for the title alex rins would be a running customer. A prediction which was verified, but what the tricolor had not foreseen was that he himself would not be in the game. From the start, he lost ground to find himself tenth whilealex rins began a nice comeback.
After the halfway point, things stabilized and the two men found themselves in a group fighting for sixth place. Who will be taken away by the driver Sito Pons while the resident Ajo will be content with eighth position behind Baldassari. Overall, the reigning World Champion remains leader overall but by just one small point.
The championship battle is 🔥 up!

A struggle which took place very far from a Lowes who led from start to finish in front of a Alex Marquez who preserved his place as runner-up at the last minute in front of his teammate Morbidely who was the man of the last laps. Lüthi is fourth and Nakagami closes the top 5 of an event where Alan Techer dropped.
