Motegi Grand Prix: Guevara wins Moto2 and Almansa triumphs in Moto3

At the Japanese Grand Prix in Motegi, significant shifts occurred in the Moto2 and Moto3 championship standings. In Moto2, Izan Guevara secured his second consecutive victory after leading from pole position. His win was aided by a technical issue for championship leader Manuel Gonzalez, whose bike stalled on the grid, forcing him to start from the pit lane and ultimately finish 22nd. This result narrows the championship gap between Gonzalez and Guevara to just 10.5 points. Tony Arbolino and Filip Salac completed the Moto2 podium.

In Moto3, David Almansa claimed victory after securing pole position with a new circuit record. Almansa successfully defended his lead against pressure from Ángela Quiles and Brian Uriarte to take his third win of the season. The championship battle remains highly competitive, with the outcome expected to be decided in the upcoming race in Indonesia.
