Pedro Acosta was unca꧃tchable after he took over at the front on lap one and checked out, managing the I💞talian Moto2 Grand Prix, round six of the championship, from the front.

Dominating every session but missing out on pole, Pedro Acosta clearly had the pace to win the Italia💖n Moto2 Grand Prix, and he didn’t disappoint - leading every one of the 19 laps⭕.

After a very brief moment of Sam Lowe♓s hitting the front from the line, the Red Bull KTM Ajo rider lead the race distance, managing his gap from first to win by a sizeable 6.194s oveಞr the line as all the riders suffered tyre wear issues late in the race.

In celebratory mood, winning on Italian soil after a spill last time out in France, Aꦬcosta became a pizza delivery service back to the pits, with a shark backpack container, a nod to his nickname. He ensured he delivered a pizza box to the Marc VDS team waiti𒉰ng for their second place rider.

That was To🌜ny Arbolino, who gave chase but settled for a solid second, gaining important championship po𝕴ints.

The biggest battle on track was for the final podium spot with Jake Dixon having pole man Aron Canet in his sight⛄s on the penultimate lap.

Lining up his move with a slingshot at turn one the British rider made the p🎃osition his for Autosolar GasGas Aspar, back on the podium for the fist time since Argentina, with a performance that lived up to his potential after making up for a bad start from sixth on the grid.

Canet was unlucky to miss out, riding in pa🐼in with his hand injuries, he left it all on track but could do nothing about the rapidly approaching #96, crossing the line a brave fouꦦrth for Pons Wegow Los 40.

Celestino Vietti staged his own comeback. Afterꦚ qualifying seventh he too got a poor start and was running outside the top ten. The Italian rallied, buoyed by the home crowd to finish fif🌠th for Fantic Racing.

Lopez takes out Lowes, then stages comeback for sixth

Alonso Lopez had an eventful grand prix. His first major action in the race was to take out Lowes while at🌳tempting a pass t🧸here was no room for. That left the Brit gesticulating in the gravel ruing what could have been after a strong start.

The move was judged to be as hard as it looked an the #21, at this point in second and looking to challenge Acosta, was sent around the long lap loo♌p.

It was one of the worst runs around a penalty loop,ꦛ hitting the paint and running wide onto the surround🐓ing gravel, rejoining ninth he was sent to do it again by race direction.

This time it was clean and the MB Conveyors Speed Up rider began his comeback all over again. Wasting no time he powered his way back to sixth by the che🐷quered flag.

The last rider he overtook was an ailing Filip Salac. Aft🏅er spending much of the race third Salac was beset by issues which left him shaking his head on his QJMotor Gresin༒i, as hopes of a home podium for his team finished, holding on to a seventh place finish.

Manuel Gonzalez (Correoꦰs Prepago Yamaha VR46 Master Camp) took eighth ahead of Somkiat Chantra who stormed through over the final few l🎃aps to claim ninth for the Idemitsu Honda Team Asia outfit.

Sergio Garcia won this race last year on his way to being the Moto3 runner up and was the top rookie, w⛎ell ahead of his old lightweight class rivals with a top ten finish on the second Pons Wegow bike.

Wildcard gu🔴est Mattia Pasini proved he had lost none of his speed or skill in the Tuscan hills, picking up eleventh after running in the top ten for most 🎀of the duration for Fieten Olie Racing.

Joe Roberts hit th🔥e podium in Mu🦩gello last year, but was twelfth this time out for Italtrans.

After a late shuffle on track the remaining points went to Dennis Foggia (Italtrans) in 13th , Bo Bendsneyder (Pertamina Mandalika SAG) 🤪in 14th and Ai👍 Ogura (Idemitsu Honda Team Asia) who dropped to 15th.

Crashes, injuries and replacements

Fermin Aldeguer fell on the f🌠irst lap collecting both Jeremy alcoba, who was sent flying and an unsuspecting Darryn Binder, who was already wide on the outside.

There were further falls for Marcos Ramirez, Lukas Tulovic and Zonta van den Goorbergh𒀰, who all failedꦍ to finish.

Rory Skin🍌ner was absent as a result of his crash after be♔ing his by Jeremy Alcoba on Saturday.

After leaving the SAG Team in the break (replaced there by Taiga Hada) Lorenzo 🐽Dalla Porta is now fil𝓡ling in for long term absentee Alex Escrig at the Forward Team.

Kohta Nozane (Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Master Camp) is also out and had Kasma Daniel keeping ღhis seat 🌠warm.

Where does that leave the championship?

𝔉Second ensure Tony Arbolino still leads the way now with a total of 119 after adding 20. A win sees Pꦏedro Acosta pull five back, now twenty behind, with a tally of 99.

Alonso Lopez moves into third after his comeback performace with ෴71 points, Filip Salac drops down to fourth after his drop through the race on 69, with Aron Canet not far behind, completing the overall top five with 65.
