It’s 30 degrees but the track temperature is already 59! At eleven o’clock in the morning local time. 20 laps on the program. There is at least one stand where the public is large, in the shade, here, the sun is forbidden. It’s an oven temperature, the spectators have come with their portable fans. Holeshot for Furusato in front of Ortola, Alonso was blocked by Suzuki, he is seven. Four in front braking at the end of the straight, we are in Moto3, magnificent sporting spectacle. End of the first lap, Veijer took the lead, ahead of Fernandez, Alonso four. Ortola disappeared, penalized for two long periods of time, dating back fifteen days. As the pack passes, we see completely empty stands. Lombok is beautiful but tiny, and far from everything, more than 1300 km from the country’s capital! There are ten drivers in the leading pack, in a very tough battle, with beautiful elegance in the movements, definitely, this displacement is a real pleasure. Veijer leads the group with an iron fist, Ortola is alone, eleventh, after his penalties, six seconds behind the group, he will lose a maximum of points overall. And he takes another long lap! Nine laps from the end, Suzuki takes the lead, Veijer gets down, like fast, the bike rolls horribly and above all, overall, he’s going to let go of the group of four… Between Ortola punished and him on the ground, Only one driver is still chasing Alonso, Holgado. At seventy points of course, the others are at 90! He is just behind Alonso, who takes the lead, his preferred tactic when the situation ahead becomes clearer… Alonso caught and regained three places during braking at the end. Fall of Furusato, the leading group is now down to six riders. Last lap, Alonso takes the lead. Exceeding anthology. He remains leader. With 97 points ahead of Holgado, he can be titled in Japan next week!
