Have you caught your breath yet? Good! Because it's #Moto2 time!

We have Ogura on pole, ahead of Lopez and Fernandez.
Excitingly, we have Acosta back on the grid this weekend after two races away, starting in 6th, and Arbolino starting his 100th race from 15th.#AustrianGP
And we are underway!

A perfect start for Ogura as he flies off and quickly pulls out a nice gap ahead of the rest of the field.
Further back, Fernandez has been pushed way back and is now battling with title contender, Vietti. They are fighting for 6th.#AustrianGP #Moto2
Zaccone is down at the new 2a/2b chicane and being stretchered off the track. Really hope he is ok! The bike looks a mess. #AustrianGP #Moto2

On lap 3, we have a new leader. Lopez has passed Ogura.

Meanwhile, Chantra has taken 3rd away from Dixon.#AustrianGP #Moto2
Nice to have you back, Acosta! He is currently the fastest man on the grid.
— CrewOnTwo (@CrewOnTwo) August 21, 2022
He is chasing down Dixon for 4th and gets all out of shape when making a move. That allows Vietti to steal 5th from him. #AustrianGP #Moto2
On lap 8 of 25, we still have Ogura in the lead – he is 0.5s ahead of Chantra in 2nd and Lopez in 3rd.
— CrewOnTwo (@CrewOnTwo) August 21, 2022
There is then a 0.2s gap back to Vietti, Acosta and Canet in 4th, 5th and 6th.
Canet, by the way, has a track limits warning so needs to be very careful out there!
Wow that could have been scary!! Aldeguer went down at the new chicane and nearly slides back on to the track and into the path of the riders.

This new corner is better but by no means perfect yet!! #AustrianGP #Moto2
Halfway point – 13 laps done and 13 to go!
— CrewOnTwo (@CrewOnTwo) August 21, 2022
1 Ogura
0.6s gap
2 Chantra
1.2s gap
3 Vietti (fastest lap!)
4 Acosta
5 Lopez
6 Canet
7 Fernandez
8 Dixon
9 Schrotter
10 Arbolino#AustrianGP #Moto2
Wow! Lopez has just dropped from 4th to 8th in the space of a few corners.
— CrewOnTwo (@CrewOnTwo) August 21, 2022
We had 3 abreast in the middle of the lap and Fernandez came out on top, passing both Lopez and Canet to take 5th.
Canet is 6th and Dixon is 7th. #AustrianGP #Moto2
BIKES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACK!!!!!
— CrewOnTwo (@CrewOnTwo) August 21, 2022
Arbolino and Dalla Porta tangle at Turn 3 – they are SO lucky to not tangle with the rest of the field whilst getting to their feet.
Thank goodness they are ok but could this be a red flag? #AustrianGP #Moto2
I haven't mentioned him for a while(!) but Ogura is still leading. He has a 0.8s lead over Chantra (2nd) and Vietti (3rd) with 9 laps to go. #AustrianGP #Moto2
— CrewOnTwo (@CrewOnTwo) August 21, 2022
Track limits warning for Fernandez! He is clearly pushing hard to get up from 6th and salvage some more championship points. #AustrianGP #Moto2
— CrewOnTwo (@CrewOnTwo) August 21, 2022
Deep breaths, everyone. Just two laps to go and I have no idea which Honda Team Asia rider is going to win this race!
— CrewOnTwo (@CrewOnTwo) August 21, 2022
I wonder how everyone is doing down in that garage? #AustrianGP #Moto2
FINAL LAP! Chantra is still chasing down Ogura for the lead and Dixon is chasing down Acosta for third.
— CrewOnTwo (@CrewOnTwo) August 21, 2022
What will our podium look like? #AustrianGP #Moto2
WHAT A FINISH!!! Ogura wins the #AustrianGP ahead of Chantra, with a cut back move in the final corner.
— CrewOnTwo (@CrewOnTwo) August 21, 2022
Dixon takes the final podium spot from Acosta, again with a move in the final few corners.
What. A. Race. #Moto2
Well, I thoroughly enjoyed that! All the #Moto3 and #Moto2 reports will be up and live on the website very soon! https://t.co/1s2AhSdmln
