Maximo Quiles wins Moto3 San Marino Grand Prix in Misano

Maximo Quiles secured a dramatic victory at the Moto3 San Marino Grand Prix held at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. After trailing pole-sitter David Almansa for much of the 20-lap race, Quiles executed a decisive move in the final corner to win by a mere 0.021 seconds.

Almansa, who dominated qualifying and led the majority of the race, lost exit speed in the final turn, allowing the CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team rider to sprint past him on the finish line. Brian Uriarte completed the podium in third place, finishing 1.343 seconds behind Quiles.

The result significantly strengthens Quiles’ position in the championship standings. He now leads with 281 points, holding a 107-point advantage over Almansa, who moved up to second in the standings. Championship contender Alvaro Carpe, who suffered a crash during the race, remains in third place.
