Aleix Espargaro made a serious mistake. Marcel Schrötter is still waiting for his first podium place in Moto2. Stefan Bradl's comeback in MotoGP ended on the first lap.

 

32-year-old Stefan Bradl from Zahling crashed his Honda in turn ten and retired. Bradl took over the bike from eight-time world champion Marc Marquez. The Spaniard had to have surgery on his upper arm for the fourth time last week, which he injured in June 2020.

 

Bradl has repeatedly stepped in for the injured ex-world champion in recent years. Marquez will be absent for a long time after the surgery.

 

Espargaro Celebrates Too Soon

World championship leader and world champion Fabio Quartararo from France won the race in Barcelona. His title rival Aleix Espargaro made a serious mistake.

Thinking the race was already over, the Spaniard slowed down after the penultimate lap and started waving at the crowd.

 

By the time he realized his mishap, it was already too late. Instead of second, he was only fifth in the end. Aleix Espargaro said,

"I can't make these mistakes if I want to win the championship. I have to apologize to my team. That was unacceptable."

However, he remained second in the overall standings. He is now 22 points behind Quartararo.

 

Marcel Schrötter Is On P5

Marcel Schrötter still has to wait for his first podium finish in the Moto2 World Championship season. The 29-year-old Bavarian from Landsberg finished fifth.

At the finish, he was a little less than a second behind third place on his Kalex. In the overall standings, Schrötter remained seventh after the ninth of 20 races with 75 points. The next race will take place on June 19th at the Sachsenring.

 

The winner in Barcelona was the Italian Celestino Vietti. With his third win of the season, he is again the sole leader in the standings with 133 points, ahead of the Japanese Ai Ogura (117 points) and the Spaniard Aron Canet (109).

Canet was overtaken by Vietti shortly before the finish in Barcelona and ended up just 0.081 seconds behind the winner.
