Moto2™: Lady luck shines on Joe Roberts (Italtrans Racing) for first USA win in 32 years.

Championship leader Celestino Vietti (Mooney VR46 Racing) also had his fair slice of fortune as he extended his title lead out to 34 points. The Italian managed to find a way through on Jorge Navarro (FlexBoxHP40) on the penultimate lap, before defending well on the final lap to secure his fourth podium in the opening five races of 2022. Navarro was delighted with third though, a first rostrum visit since Silverstone last year. Strong rides came in from Marcel Schrötter and Manuel Gonzalez (Yamaha VR46 MasterCamp) to take fourth and fifth.

Jeremy Alcoba (Liqui Moly Intact GP) ended up sixth after Fermin Aldeguer (Lightech Speed Up) was demoted a place to seventh on the final lap. Rounding out the top ten were Bo Bendsneyder (Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team), Barry Baltus (RW Racing) and Gabriel Rodrigo (Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team).
