Moto2: Top 3 in a class of its own
Acosta is over and can also pull away a bit. Now Arbolino has Fernandez glued to the rear wheel. There is already a big gap behind the top 3 at half-time: Canet in fourth is more than a second and a half behind.
Moto2: Arbolino under pressure
After Ogura, Acosta now arranges Arbolino and puts pressure on him. Fernandez is third and can basically risk everything now to not only end the season with the title, but also with a win.
Moto2: Ogura in the gravel!
Acosta attacks Ogura, but he doesn’t want to give up and takes back second place. It then happens in turn 8: Ogura slides away and finally buries his title chance in the gravel. After less than eight laps, his race is over and Fernandez is sure to be world champion, even if he falls.
Moto2: More falls
Beaubier crashes on the finish corner and ends his last Moto2 race in the gravel. Shortly thereafter, Vietti also goes down.
The top has meanwhile pushed together again. Arbolino still leads, but has Ogura and Arbolino just behind him. Fernandez is just under a second behind in fourth.
Moto2: The order
Five rounds have been completed. Arbolino leads ahead of Ogura and Acosta. Beaubier has caught Fernandez and is now fourth. Behind them are Canet, Aldeguer, Vietti, Arenas and Chantra. Schrötter is 16th and is currently outside the points rankings.
Moto2: Lopez out of the race
Lopez comes off the line a little at Turn 11 and pays for it with a fall. This moves Acosta and Fernandez to third and fourth place respectively. Beaubier is fifth.
Moto2: Arbolino revs up
Once in the lead, Arbolino can open a small gap right away. Ogura is struggling to catch up in second place. Lopez and Acosta continue their heated duel and fight for third place. Fernandez keeps a safe distance.
Moto2: change of leadership
At the end of the first lap, Acosta pulls past Lopez. But then Lopez overdoes it in Turn 2 and pushes Acosta off. Both fall back to third and fourth place behind Arbolino and Ogura. Fernandez is now fifth.
Moto2: The start
Lopez holds the lead at the start of the 25 laps of the race. Acosta holds second while Fernandez loses during the early corners. He drops to sixth behind Arbolino, Ogura and Aldeguer.
Moto2: Grid
The first title decision of the day is coming up! In Moto2, the advantage lies with Augusto Fernandez with 9.5 points. His pursuer Ai Ogura needs to score ten points more than him to still clinch the title.
On the grid, Fernandez is third just two positions ahead of Ogura in fifth. Alonso Lopez starts the race from pole. Acosta and Fernandez complete row one. Arbolino, Ogura and Roberts are behind them on row two. Marcel Schrötter has a lot of work ahead of him in his last Moto2 race from 22nd on the grid.

The beaming faces make me happy.”
