Tony Arbolino made his move to the front late in the race th𒁏e♉n held firm to take his second podium visit in two races with a win at the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit in Argentina.

The race was cut from 21 to fourteen laps with a l🧸ack of wet weather time for the clas😼s.

The frontrunners were set from the start with polesitter Alonso Lopez, Jake Di✱xon and Arbolino up front , with Manuel Gonzalez and Aron Canet initially in the mix.

Gonzalez soon dropped back, while Canet needed to visit th🎐e long lap loop twice for a jump start, leaving the lead trio to fight it out.

It was Lopez leading the largest share of laps,🦄 whilꦰe the number 14 bike sat in behind. Precise and learning from any errors ahead the Italian made his move with three laps remaining as their differing lines re-met with Arbolino in front.

The Marc VDS rider then pulled out a small gap over his rivals to win by 0.663s𒉰 - his second podium after just twܫo races, this time on the top spot after a win.

Lopez pulled straight back into the action after a poor start where he thought he had hit the put limiter on his Beta To🐼ols Speed Up. His sixth podium was a second pla🧜ce after Arbolino pulled away.

Third went to Jake Dixon, his sevent༺h rostrum visit on the same day he became a new dad. The Solunion GasGas Aspar rider had vision issues with his helmet visor, preventing him from being able to push to the maximum in the spray on track for the win.

Aron Canet served his penalty early and rejoined fourth after his second trip around the penalty loop. That was to be where he’d finish the race for Pons Wegow Los40 with the gap to the leaders too𝓀 big to bridge, and a safe gap back to the next riders on track.

Garcia makes moves for a top five finish

That next rider was his teammate Sergio Garcia. The winner of the Argentina round last year in Moto3 was given a long lap penalty for contact with Marcos Ramirez in Q1. He too served his sanction early allowing him to move through the field fr꧂om 28th on the grid to an impressive fifth.

Darryn Binder, also a rookie after moving back down from MotoGP, was close behind in sixth for Liqui Moly Husไqvarna IntactGP.

Somkiat Chantra pushed his Idemisu Honda Team Asia bike to the limit in♓ the wet for seventh, but was demoted one place for exceeding🔥 track limits on the final lap.

That elevated ไGresini’s Filip Salac to the position. Ninth went to Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Albert Arenas.

He had Sam Lowes in close company in the closing stag♔es after a slow𓆏 start from the Brit, completing the top ten for Marc VDS despite racing with an illness.

Early frontrunner Gonzalez was an eventual eleventh after being passed by the #22, with Portimao race winner Pedro Acosta struggling in the wet. Out of the points in the opening laps, he had climbed to twelfth for Red Bull KTM Ajo by the time he met the ꦜchequered flag.

The remaining points went to 2022 race winner Celestino Vietti (Fantic Racing) in 13th , Ita♔ltrans’ Joe Roberts in 14th and Fermin Aldeguer (Beta Tools Speed Up) 🎶in 15th. 

Replacements and retirements

The class has several regular riders afte🎃r action after the opening round. Torres was in again for Izan Guevara at the Solunion GasGas Aspar team. The best of the stand⛄-ins he finished just out of points in 16th.

Alex Escrig ha🥃d his Forward seat kept warm by David S🔴anchis, who retired from the race.

Both American Racing riders Rory Skinner and Sean D𒁃ylan Kelly also returned to the pits early in the race.

20t🐟h placed Soichiro Minamimoto&💟nbsp;(Correos Prepago Yamaha Master Camp VR46) was in for Kohta Nozane, with Lukas Tulovic also out but not replaced.

Ai Ogura was withdrawn before the race start after trying to stage 🥂a comeback from i൩njury this weekend.
