Moto3™: Jaume Masia (Red Bull KTM Ajo) wins a Moto3™ classic in COTA.

A costly Turn 12 reared its head for Foggia with five to go, the Italian was now P4 behind Masia, Migno and Sasaki after running slightly wide. It was all to play for with two laps to go in Austin, the top seven all locked together.

Heading onto the last lap, Moreira highsided out – the Brazilian later declared unfit for a poli contusion – at the final corner, as Masia and Migno scrapped for the lead. Foggia was P3, Sasaki P4, Öncü P5 – it was between these five riders for victory. Migno led onto the back straight but Masia grabbed a nice slipstream and made a move stick into Turn 12.

It was advantage Masia heading into the final sector. Migno dived up the inside at the penultimate corner but the Italian was wide, allowing both Masia and Foggia through. Masia made no mistake at the final corner and took victory ahead of Foggia and Migno, as Sasaki missed out on a podium by 0.096s in P4. Öncü was in the fight for victory throughout but just lost touch on the last lap, as the Turkish rider came home in P5. Artigas also lost touch in the closing stages, the Spaniard finished P6 ahead of Guevara who does well to recover to P7 from his two Long Lap penalties. Carlos Tatay (CFMoto Racing PrüstelGP), Riccardo Rossi (SIC58 Squadra Corse) and Tatsuki Suzuki (Leopard Racing) rounded out the top 10.
