The rain was the companion of a Moto2 field after having well watered that of Moto3. In the end, quite a few falls and last year's winner who everyone remembers fondly: Xavier Simeon!
The Belgian therefore got wet on a Sachsenring track which eroded a lot of confidence before the race expected at the very beginning of the afternoon. Thus, the pole sitter Nakagami fell from the start and settled for thirteenth place. Others have made mistakes including zarco, Marini et Cortese in turn 3 alone. Baldassari et Lowes missed turn 10. If the Briton got up, the Italian was worried with a shoulder that seemed very painful once back on his feet.
When the checkered flag was kissed we therefore Simeon, zarco et Folger in the top three with Morbidely et Kidneys to close the top 5. Note that the Spaniard knew how to stay on his wheels. Lowes is twelfth in front therefore Nakagami. As to Syahrin, Alex Marquez, Julian Simon and others Cortese Lüthi and Schrotter, they say to themselves that there would be a good shot to be had on this wet track…
