The Circuit Ricardo Tormo hosted a second FIM CEV Repsol event of the season this weekend, in which Daniel Holgado and Fermín Aldeguer extended their respective leads in the Moto3 and Moto2 series, and Adrián Cruces remained at the helm of the ETC.
In two crash-filled races in the FIM Junior Moto3 ™ World Championship, which included a red flag in the second of them, Daniel Holgado managed to prevail in both, claiming three wins from as many races so far in the class this season.
An incident on the opening laps of the Moto2 race caused another red flag, which forced the contest to be reduced to 9 laps. At the restart, the script from the round at Estoril was repeated and Aldeguer also achieved his third victory in three races, followed once again by teammate Alonso López.
Brian Uriarte and Álvaro Carpe were the winners of the weekend in the European Talent Cup. Uriarte made a great fightback to win the first race after starting fourteenth on the grid. In the second contest Carpe- who started third-, remained in the front group, taking the lead on the final laps and claiming his first victory.
With these results, Daniel Holgado and Fermín Aldeguer extend their respective leads of the Moto3 and Moto2 standings, holding perfect records so far in this campaign. Adrián Cruces, who took an additional podium, remains the leader of the European Talent Cup.
The next FIM CEV Repsol 2021 event will be held on June 13th at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
