Deniz Öncü was absolutely thrilled at the end of the Aragón GP, celebrating his stunning debut victory in Moto2 after an electrifying and breathless race.

Naturally, #53 was delighted in parc fermé: ‘That’s what we do, right?! I come from Turkey, home of Kenan [Sofuoglu] and Toprak [Razgatlioglu], the best in the world, so what do you expect?!’ the Red Bull KTM Ajo rider said with a smile.

‘It was a great race today. I tried to manage the tires, but I told myself I had to push. In the end, I had worn them out, and the guys behind were closing in. Then Diogo overtook me, and I knew I had one last chance in the final corner, where I was stronger—but I had no grip left. I had to take a risk, and when he shut all the doors, I thought: “What do I have to lose? I’ll be second or second.” I just pushed, tried to go around the outside, and I won the race,’ he continued.

He concluded: ‘I want to thank everyone who supported me. The last two GPs were very tough, the team is working hard, and to my roots and my family, a huge thank you. Winning in these conditions is not easy, but we did it—we are back!’

Victory seems to be only a matter of time, and Diogo Moreira, despite missing out on winning today in Aragon by a mere 0.003s, was happy with his performance.

In the closed park, the Brazilian reacted to his day at Motorland as follows:

– I’m very happy because I believe we are now on the right track and we need to be proud of that, of this race, and now we have to keep working. I had the best weekend of the season and we have to be happy, and now we need to keep it up, understand the tires a little better, and push harder at the end.

He concluded: ‘I really enjoyed the race, and now it’s time to continue enjoying the day’.

Unbelievable scenes in Moto2 as Deniz Öncü snatched victory from Diogo Moreira by three thousandths of a second. Yes, you read that right—it was as close as it gets!

The Moto2 race was about to start, with 19 laps ahead and separating the potential winner from victory and glory in Aragón.

Diogo Moreira made the most of his pole position and was in the lead in the early stages, but it was Deniz Oncu who took the lead during the first lap, after two very punishing corners for Moreira, who was also overtaken by Barry Baltus.

Daniel Holgado, meanwhile, collided with his teammate David Alonso, and both crashed during the first lap. Disaster for the CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team:

DISASTER for the @asparteam riders

Shortly afterwards, Baltus took the lead in the race, with the top five now as follows: Baltus, Oncu, Moreira, Arón Canet, and Alonso López.

Canet was gaining momentum and had meanwhile reached third position in the race, and would later overtake Oncu to move into second. The difference between #44 and Baltus was approximately 0.3s.

During the eighth lap, Oncu retaliated and beat Canet, who was overtaken by Moreira a couple of laps later. Baltus remained firmly in the lead.

Gradually, Oncu’s pace began to bring him closer to Baltus, and so it was no surprise that at the start of the 13th lap he managed to take the lead. Manu González, the championship leader, after a disastrous qualifying session where he crashed and failed to set a time, was already in eighth place.

The race was quickly approaching its final laps, with Deniz Öncü leading by 0.695s over Moreira, who had just set the fastest lap of the race and briefly overtaken Öncü.

Despite the Brazilian’s speed, Öncü refused to back down and regained some time on #10—but only briefly, as the Italtrans Racing Team rider reduced the gap once again to six-tenths of a second.

Meanwhile, Agius overtook Canet to claim fourth place, while Rueda’s struggles reshaped the championship battle.

Moreira was giving it everything, and the gap to Öncü kept shrinking—after the first two sectors of lap 18, it was down to just 0.261s. The Brazilian was all-in!

The final lap was set to deliver high drama, with Moreira and Öncü battling all the way to the checkered flag. Proof of the intensity? Moreira was half a second faster than Öncü on the last lap!

Moreira completed the overtake and pushed hard, navigating the final corners at full intensity!

Side by side, the Turkish rider fought back, making contact with Moreira—an impossible-to-script ending! The victory, decided in a near photo-finish, belonged to Öncü! What an incredible race!

Diogo Moreira has just secured his first Moto2 pole position, with the Aragón circuit witnessing the Brazilian rider as the fastest in intermediate class qualifying, thanks to a late attack.

Alonso López, Izán Guevara, Tony Arbolino, and Filip Salac were the fastest in Q1 and have secured a spot in Q2 of the intermediate class, where they will compete for a place in the final qualifying session.

Manu González was among the favourites, but the Spaniard soon experienced the opposite—and in the worst way—crashing just three minutes into the session, though fortunately without serious consequences.

THAT'S MASSIVE

López and Salac then took the top spots on the timing sheets before Deniz Öncü, one of yesterday’s standout riders, climbed to the lead.

López responded by reclaiming the top position, but Diogo Moreira and Arón Canet attacked and dethroned #21. Canet set a lap of 1:50.220s and soon after ran off track, but without any major issues, keeping control of his bike.

After the usual pit stop, the riders returned to the track, and the final attacks on pole position were expected.

Öncü did not hold back in the closing minutes, setting a lap of 1:50.166s, leaving Canet 0.054s behind. However, Diogo Moreira had something up his sleeve and managed to beat his rival, securing his first pole position in the category.

What a finish to the intermediate class Practice session! After FP1 set the tone with great balance, that’s exactly what we saw again in this session. Denis Oncu was leading shortly before the end, but was beaten by Diogo Moreira and then by Manuel González.

The session saw González leading at the start, as well as David Alonso and then Arón Canet, until Oncu settled in for much of the session.

However, the final minutes brought some surprises, with Moreira moving to the front after Oncu had beaten the lap time in Aragón, but González also did his thing and moved to the front.

A crash near the end by David Alonso led to many times being canceled due to the yellow flag being raised in sector two, which “sped up” the end of the session given the many lap times that were not counted.

What an exciting start to the Aragón GP in Moto2, with Deniz Oncu finishing the session with the fastest time, but with the top three very close together, showing a little of the balance that could be seen this weekend.

With a lap of 1:51.356s, Oncu took his KTM to the top of the timesheets in the first session of the category at MotorLand this weekend, with #53 finishing ahead by 0.029s over Manuel González.

David Alonso was not far behind but far enough to be third in the session, 0.010s behind González and 0.039s behind Oncu.

The top five was completed by Áron Canet and Marcos Ramírez, 0.193s and 0.227s behind respectively.

Here are the top 20 times from FP1:

Senna Agius claims maiden win as the top contenders stumble

The British GP shook up the Moto2 title race as Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) took a stunning first victory and David Alonso (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) claimed his maiden podium. With the top four in the Championship failing to reach the rostrum, the fight is tighter than ever.

Agius made a decisive move in the final chicane, capitalising on Aron Canet’s (Fantic Racing) attempt to snatch victory from Alonso. Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) followed Agius through to complete a unique Aussie-Brazilian-Colombian podium.

Just three points now separate Gonzalez and Canet at the top. Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team), last year’s Aragon winner, looks to end a run of four podium-less races.

Barry Baltus is out for redemption after his race-ending clash with Gonzalez, while 2024 podium finishers Tony Arbolino and Deniz Öncü aim to return to the sharp end. The Aragon GP could be decisive in shaping the title narrative.

The content Moto2 – The title fight intensifies heading into Aragon appear first in M Sports.

The Motorland Aragón circuit prepares to host MotoGP and its support categories, Moto2 and Moto3, this week at a time when Marc Márquez arrives as championship leader. The Catalan rider maintains the consistency that has characterized him this season, having stepped onto the podium once again at the last race in Silverstone.

The British Grand Prix brought significant developments to the championship. Marco Bezzecchi gave Aprilia its first victory of the season, a triumph that gained even more relevance after the contractual rupture between Jorge Martín and the Italian brand became known. Johann Zarco completed the British podium in second position, consolidating the good form he has been showing since his victory in the rain at Le Mans.

The Silverstone race also revealed contrasts among the title favorites. Pecco Bagnaia showed signs of improvement by qualifying directly for Q2, but a zero on Sunday due to a crash compromised his aspirations. Fabio Quartararo experienced a similar situation, starting from pole position and leading the race when a technical problem with his Yamaha deprived him of a possible victory.

For Marc Márquez, Motorland represents familiar territory – the Aragonese circuit even has a corner named after him, reflecting his successful history at this track. This special connection makes the Spaniard one of the main favorites for the weekend, at a time when he seeks to consolidate his championship lead.

Senna Agius took victory in Moto2 at the British Grand Prix a few moments ago, in a Grand Prix where uncertainty reigned until the final moments as no rider could really impose himself on the competition.

Arón Canet was in the lead for most of the time, occasionally swapping positions with the competition, especially Moreira, but the best finish was reserved for last!

Going into the last lap, the riders were giving it their all and it quickly came down to the last sector where the final efforts were evident, with the last corner being decisive: on the last lap Alonso attacked and moved to the front of the race, Canet responded but was wide like the Colombian and Agius attacked, in a very clever maneuver that earned him the win at Silverstone!

The MotoGP British GP is taking place this weekend, and even before the end of this seventh round of the season, the dates for next year have already been announced.

After being moved to the end of May, the British event will return to its more traditional dates in 2026 – scheduled for August 7 to 9.

Since 2010, Silverstone has been the home of the British GP. During this period, it was only absent from the calendar in 2020 due to the cancellation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the past, the circuit had already hosted the Motorcycle World Championships in the 1970s and 1980s (it was the first home of the British GP in 1977), before giving way to Donington Park. Between 1949 and 1976, the only British round was the Isle of Man TT.
