This weekend, we will rediscover the scent of the Grands Prix after a saving summer break for the drivers. If, in MotoGP, indecision is required, in Moto2, the feeling is that we will not have to wait nine Grands Prix to know who will win. With his six victories collected on nine occasions, Franco Morbidelli is already ready to ring the bell for competition in Moto2. Let the weather continue to be good in Brno and the matter will not be far from being over.
In the championship, the Marc VDS Racing rider, already assured of his future in MotoGP, is 34 points ahead of Tom Luthi and 59 on the official KTM Olive tree. Alex Marquez, his teammate, is 60 lengths away while Pasini, last in the top 5, is 80 units behind. The rest of the peloton is led by the beginner bagnaia with 96 points in view.
Morbidely therefore dominates his subject this year and if the Swiss from the CarXpert team had not resisted with all his strength thanks to a regularity in the points which is to be praised, the situation, for the Italian, would be even more comfortable. But Lüthi ended up giving in in Germany, falling on the count. A heartbreak for someone who has always been placed but who has never yet been a winner.
Last year he was absent in Brno due to injury while Morbidely had finished only eighth in a race won by Folger before Kidneys et Lowes. Pasini had finished at the foot of the podium so that he is the one still in the running in the category which had achieved the best performance. Alex Marquez was fifth.
This time, we will also have to count on the KTM ofOlive tree while bagnaia will be the outsider of choice despite his beginner status. Nakagami, agitated et Schrotter will be back from the Suzuka 8 Hours, with the particular mention of an injured wrist for the last mentioned. Finally, this second part of the season will begin with certainty for Cortese to lose his handlebars at the end of the season, a disappointment that is already alive Yonny Hernandez who will not make the return since replaced by the young American Roberts.
