HOLGADO ESCORTS ‘POLEMAN’ ONCU IN MOTO3

In Moto3, the Turkish Deniz Oncu (KTM) will lead a first row in which he will be accompanied by the Spanish Dani Holgado (KTM), second, while the leader of the championship, Sergio García Dols (GasGas) will start fourth.

In an appointment marked by the hard accident on Friday during Free Practice 2 of the Japanese Ayumu Sasaki (Husqvarna), who was involuntarily run over by the Spanish Jaume Masià (KTM) after suffering a ‘highside’ and fractured both clavicles, the Ottoman pilot signed his second first starting position after the one achieved in Portugal.

Thus, he will lead the front row of the grid together with Holgado and the Italian Dennis Foggia (Honda), the fastest in the third free practice and who was only prevented from achieving pole position by a slower last sector in Mugello.
