Acosta, Montella and Alonso win second FIM CEV Repsol event in Portimao

Pedro Acosta was the winner of Monday’s Moto3 Junior World Championship race in Portugal, edging out Xavier Artigas at the chequered flag. The podium was rounded out by David Salvador.

Both races in the European Moto2 Championship had the same Top 3. Italian Yari Montella has crossed the finish line on both occasions, followed by Niki Tuuli in second, and Alessandro Zaccone in third.

The only race of the day for the European Talent Cup required two starts, due to a red flag on the first lap. Off the restart, David Alonso was able to break away, and achieved the victory with a two-second advantage over his pursuers. After him, Spaniards Alberto Fernández and Marco Morelli placed second and third, respectively.

After the opening two rounds, Acosta and Artigas are tied at the top of the Moto3 Junior World Championship, whilst Montella’s wins in Moto2 and Alonso’s success in the ETC maintain their leadership of their respective classes.

The next round of the FIM CEV Repsol will take place at the Jerez-Angel Nieto Circuit and will feature two days of racing for the first time this season. The races will be held on August 29th and 30th, with a total of three contests for Moto3, two for Moto2 and three for the ETC.
