Dennis Oncue put it all on the line with Motorland’s Moto2 Aragon Grand Prix, the last lap pass to gain the momentum needed to win a round eight victory.
Red Bull KTM Ajo Rider, third, made a strong appearance as he sat behind his first pole sitter Diogo Moreira and then in the back of Barry Bartos for most of the race.
The Turkish rider advanced on lap 14, showing off his abilities through the final corner on a series of new best race laps.
Moreira replied with his own best knees, the duo pulled clear as they fought.
The Brazilians led on the line on the final lap, and ONCU was closely pursued. The ONCU had to be creative as the tires were broken and the restrictions were there, and Moreira ran a strong blocking line forward.
With the inside unavailable for the last corner where #53 was very strong, he instead used the line and speed to go around the outside, giving momentum and slipping into the line.
Neck and neck, the pair both leaned against each other – touching to get that final advantage – finishing the photo to see the closest Moto2 race ever – OnCU finished just 0.003 for his first intermediate class victory.
Moreira was trying to give it everything and endure the billing of another new fastest race lap on the final lap, but was the closest to the second due to consecutive visits to the second step on the podium with the Italtrans Racing Team.
All Kalex Podium was completed by Baltus. This is the viewer of the final lap after showing strong progress in leading the Moto2 race for the Fantic Racing Lino Sonego bike for the first time.
Silverstone winner Sena Agius was full of fighting during the closing stages, handing Aron Canette to fourth in the second half of Riki Mori Dynabolt’s unharmed GP race.
Philip Salak is riding the Elf Mark VDS bike, the top boss coschlo rider of Aragon, and past Canette for the fifth time on his final lap.
Canette was forced to settle for sixth place on his second fantic bike, the best home rider on Spanish tracks.
Manuel Gonzalez fought back from 18th on the grid after crashing at the start of the second quarter on Saturday, climbing for the seventh time before being chased by the American racing duo.
Along with both riders who are eager to drive away their teammates, Joe Roberts first passed the Dynavolt bike in the seventh, and soon Marcos Ramirez followed for the eighth.
Alonso Lopez has a strong start and came in fifth before he grabbed the top 10 finish for Betatool Speedle and headed in the wrong direction as the Bosco Sculo riders endured a tough Aragon weekend.
