Brian Uriarte Wins First Moto3 Race With Last-Lap Move at Mugello

The result gives Red Bull KTM Ajo a one-two, tightening the early championship battle.

Overview

  • Brian Uriarte, 17, overtook Adrián Fernández at the Casanova Sabelli section on the final lap to claim his maiden Moto3 victory at Mugello on Sunday.
  • Team-mate Álvaro Carpe finished second and Hakim Danish took third to complete a Red Bull KTM Ajo double podium.
  • David Almansa withdrew before the race with inflamed lymph nodes and was taken to hospital, a development that promoted Hakim Danish to pole position.
  • Máximo Quiles recovered to finish 11th and kept the championship lead on 145 points while Carpe and Adrián Fernández closed the gap behind him.
  • Mugello produced a large, slipstream-driven lead group with frequent lead changes along the long main straight, a dynamic that made late-race positioning decisive and highlighted Uriarte as an emerging young talent.
