Moto3 Australia Race: Lorenzo Dalla Porta World Champion!

Qualified on the second row Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Honda, Leopard Racing) is the man to watch during this Moto3 Australian Grand Prix on the Phillip Island circuit, as he holds a first match point to win his first World Champion title. Category world.

The Leopard Racing driver is 47 points ahead of his closest rival, Aron Canet (KTM, Sterilgarda Max Racing Team), which, with still a potential of 75 points to gain, requires him to score here 4 more than his Spanish opponent who will start from the first row.

68 points away, Tony Arbolino (Honda, Snipers Team) is still mathematically in the race, but his chances are low especially since he qualified in 13th position. However, if he did not concede 18 points to Lorenzo Della Porta, which is probable outside of the race, he would postpone a title deadline for his compatriot.

A wind still present on the island but much less violent than yesterday, temperatures of 15° in the air and 19° on the ground, a dry runway as well as a very overcast but stable sky for the moment, these are the conditions that await the riders for this Australian Moto3 Grand Prix.

Just before departure, Niccolo Antonelli (Honda, SIC58 Squadra Corse) announces his withdrawal due to excessive shoulder pain.

When the red lights go out, Marcos Ramirez (Honda, Leopard Racing) maintains the benefit of its pole position ahead Roman Fenati (Honda, Snipers Team) who made an excellent start.

In the first round, an incident opposed Darryn Binder (KTM, CIP-Green Power) and Riccardo Rossi (Honda, Kömmerling Gresini Moto3) to the detriment of the latter.

At the end of the first round, Tony Arbolino (Honda, Snipers Team) has already moved back into the leading group while his teammate Romano Fenati takes the lead.

Aron Canet fell at the start of the third round and thus saw his small chances of a world title disappear.

In the game of aspirations, Lorenzo Dalla Porta takes command with 20 laps to go.

The peloton is still grouped together and there are no less than 24 drivers who can still claim a place of honor.

Kaito Toba (Honda, Honda Team Asia) took the lead after five laps before conceding it very briefly to John mcphee (Honda, Petronas Sprinta Racing).

Darryn binder (KTM, CIP-Green Power), starting 27th, appears in the leading trio. The South African driver of the CIP team, always the author of spectacular braking, manages to take command 15 laps from the finish.

Obviously, we don't generally keep it in this category for long, and it's a real battle of the ragpickers which oppose all the aforementioned names as well as Andrea Migno (KTM, Mugen Race), Tatsuki suzuki (Honda, SIC58 Squadra Corse) and Alonso lopez (Honda, Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS) for leadership.

Against the Hondas of the Leopard Racing team, the KTMs are far from having an advantage in top speed but defend themselves well, when braking or in turns.

Sergio García (Honda, Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS) falls quite violently at turn 6, Filip Salac (KTM, Redox PruestlGP) more gently at turn 4. gabriel rodrigo (Honda, Kömmerling Gresini Moto3) also made a mistake at turn 9.

During a few turns in parentheses (a long time in Moto3), Lorenzo Dalla Porta precedes head Tatsuki suzuki et Darryn binder. There are now only 16 drivers left who can compete for a place of honor, including Roman Fenati, which gives us superb exteriors.

Lorenzo Dalla Porta seems the strong man of this group but must face attacks from Romano Fenati et Darryn binder.

Andrea Migno and Kaito Toba cling with Tom Booth Amos (KTM, CIP-Green Power) who is having the best race of his career.

At the start of the last round, Lorenzo Dalla Porta leads ahead Darryn binder et Albert Arenas.

At the end of the straight line, Tatsuki suzuki took second position before taking the lead a few turns further.

Lorenzo de la Porta don't give up and take back command in front Albert Arenas before crossing the finish line as winner and new 3 Moto2019 world champion!
