- Red Bull KTM Ajo go 1-2 in #mugello and #moto2 standings 

Moto3 Pedro Acosta adapted quickly to the demands of the #mugello circuit by posting the 2nd fastest lap-time in Q2 qualification on Saturday. The world championship leader set-off from the middle of the front row of the grid with teammate #jaumemasia just behind. A large group of 12 riders circulated close together for the majority of the 20 laps with Red Bull KTM Tech3’s #ayumusasaki was also in the pack. Teammate Deniz Öncü crashed out on the first lap.

A thrilling final two circulations saw Masia just miss out on victory by just three hundredths of a second with Sasaki in 4th and only two tenths from 1st! Acosta was less than a second away from the triumph but was docked one position for exceeding track limits and classified 8th. Acosta (111), Masia (59) and Sasaki (57) now head the #moto3 standings with their KTM RC4s. 

Moto2 

Moto2 rookie #raulfernandez set off from Pole Position for the second time in a row and for the second time in his short stint in the category. The Spaniard had been looking very competitive during the sessions at #mugello and duly settled into the lead and with a narrow margin through the 21-lap chase. Red Bull KTM Ajo teammate #remygardner was quick off the line and 4th on the grid and was also one of the contenders. Fernandez, in only his second GP appearance at #mugello, led almost the entire distance until he experienced some front-end grip problems and started to be caught by Gardner; the Australian also adjusting his style and enacting a sharp race strategy to cope with the physicality of #mugello. Gardner timed his move on the final lap to perfection, and Fernandez’ retaliation meant the second closest finish in the history of the #moto2 class as Gardner triumphed for the first time in Red Bull KTM Ajo colors by one hundredth of a second.
