Moto2 | Japanese GP Race: Marini, “It was a great fight” [VIDEO]

Moto2 Grand Prix Twin Ring Motegi Sky Racing Team VR46 – Second consecutive victory for Luca Marini, author of a beautiful race in Japan. Luca started from pole and after about 10 laps in the lead, he was then the protagonist of a battle with Tom Luthi, which then ended on the top step of the podium.

Unlucky race for Nicolò Bulega, who suffered a fall during the second lap.

Sky Racing Team VR46 statements

Luca Marini: “Great race and another great win. We did a great job in all conditions, perhaps the pace wasn't the same as in Thailand to try to go away and I preferred to manage the tire as best as I could at the start. We didn't start very strong and Tom (Luthi ed.) closed the gap. When he overtook me I tried to stay focused, not make mistakes and stay in the slipstream so as not to compromise the rear tyre. I was faster going between 6 and 7 and I tried. I had fun, maybe more than in Buriram, it was a great fight."

Nicolò Bulega: “A different race than I imagined. Yesterday was a difficult qualifying, but after the warm up the sensations were positive. I struggled at the start, I had to give up some positions and, in an attempt to overtake an opponent, I found myself on the ground without being able to do anything to avoid it. A shame".
