Double Moto2 points finish for PETRONAS Sprinta Racing at Aragón

2020-10-26 13:35
PETRONAS Sprinta Racings Moto2 riders Jake Dixon and Xavi Vierge head into the one-week break, before the final triple-header of the 2020 season, with good results from the Gran Premio de Teruel. Dixon crossed the MotorLand Aragón finish line seventh, while team-mate Vierge was 12th.

A great start from Dixon saw him move into fourth in the first corner, before moving into the top-three during the opening part of the first lap. Struggling for grip on the soft rear tyre, the Brit started to drop back and found himself seventh at the halfway point. Jake lost one place further on lap 14 but gritted his teeth to make his way passed Augusto Fernandez on the final lap to cross the line seventh.

Team-mate Vierge also had a good start and moved up to 18th on the first lap of the race. The Spaniard made steady progress through the field in the first half of the 21-lap race, to move into 12th by the mid-point. Despite feeling the pressure late on, Xavi was able to successfully maintain his position and finished the second race at MotorLand Aragón 12th.

Dixon and Vierge will now be able to enjoy one week of rest, before they are next in action at the first event in the final triple-header of the year: the Gran Premio de Europa (6-8 November).
