Moto2, Tony Arbolino triumphs in Argentina

On the wet track, no one swims better than the Shark from Garbagnate: Tony Arbolino, 22, a Marc Vds Racing rider, riding a Kalex wins the Argentine Moto2 gp overtaking the Spaniard Antonio Lopez and the English Jake Dixon. The Milanese, another talent discovered by Paolo Simoncelli and managed by manager Carlo Pernat, now deservedly leads the world rankings: for him, including 2022, it is the 3rd success and 5th podium in the last 6 races, testifying to a growth important. With this victory, and last Sunday’s podium in Portimao, Tony leads the classification with 41 points ahead of Aron Canet (33) and the very favorite Pedro Acosta (29), today only 12th. It is the 4th career success in the category, where he has been racing since 2021, the 7th in the world championship. At the finish line he bursts with happiness: “I really tried: I thought that here in Argentina I could reduce the gap from Acosta, but I didn’t imagine a Sunday like this. I tried to push right from the start and I got to the limit, they did a crazy job in the garage. For today we’re enjoying this day, starting tomorrow we’ll think about the next race in Austin. Apparently, I’ve become the driver to beat. I dedicate the victory to my family”. Among the other Italians, 13th place for Celestino Vietti.
