This Moto2 season is more open than ever as it has just passed its half-time mark. With two particular types of profile however: On the one hand, those who experience a series of victories before marking time. And on the other, the one who plays for regularity. In these two sets, three names: Baldassarri, Álex Márquez and Lüthi. Or a confirmed generation.
Three victories for Baldassarri, four for Alex Marquez, and only one for Tom Luthi. This is the appearance of the first part of the 2 Moto2019 campaign. A situation that the Swiss rider comments on: “ it's less about taking risks, and more about experience that plays a role. This can make you a little smarter than if you're young and hot-headed. You can see that at the top of the championship, none of the title contenders can still be described as newcomers. This shows how important consistency is and results from experience: You have to drive intelligently ».
Lüthi is second overall behind Alex Marquez on whom he is behind by eight points. There is only one production, recorded in Austin. “ Back then, the tenor was 'the guy wins everything,' and now it's Márquez who wins all the time. Of course, Baldassarri now has two clean results, and so far I have always managed to score points, with the exception of Argentina. That's why I'm still in the race ».
Since his victory in Texas, Lüthi seeks good sensations. “ We were very strong and could attack when it suited us. Now we have to work hard and try to get back into that form. Don't get me wrong, we are at a high level, but the little advantage we had in Texas is missing. We're working on it, but you know, the smaller the issues, the harder they are to find and fix » explains the 32-year-old Dynavolt pilot who, like his colleagues, will take up the challenge in Brno at the beginning of August. However, be careful: There is still a young one growing. His name is Augusto Fernandez, the winner of Assen… He is in his third season of Moto2 and he is almost 22 years old.
