Guevara started from P13. He lost some positions in the opening corner but soon started to carve his way back through the pack. The Spaniard was inside the top 5 by lap 14. With an over-1.5s gap to close to the rider ahead of him, the number 28 focused on battling with David Alonso and Tony Arbolino. He fought with Alonso for fifth place all the way to the chequered flag and finished sixth, 8.778s behind the winner.

Rookie Ferrández began his quest from P24. He gained some positions at the start and then entered the fierce mid-pack battle. He found himself in 17th place in the final stages when a significant gap to the riders ahead and behind him started to form. It allowed him to hold 17th all the way to the finish line, crossing it 24.717s from first.

Today's race results put Guevara in 4th place in the championship standings with 20 points. Ferrández is in 19th place with 0.5 point. The BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2 Team are in 4th position, with 20.5 points.

"We are very happy with Izan's race. He did an excellent job recovering many positions and setting competitive lap times, showing how confident he is with the bike. He was penalised by his Q2 result, but he still managed to score important points, which are always crucial for the championship. Alberto is continuing his adaptation to the bike in a very positive way, gaining more experience and valuable data. For the first time, he struggled with the front tyre, and this situation highlighted how important it is to manage every session in order to be fully prepared for the race in these conditions. With this valuable information, we now head to Austin – another challenging track – where we will do our best to continue our progress."

"Qualifying compromised our race result, and my start wasn't good enough to recover as many positions as I had hoped. On this circuit it's particularly difficult to overtake, so starting from the 5th row made it even more challenging to move forward. I didn't have the grip needed to push at the maximum, so I managed the situation as best as I could. It's a shame, because I'm sure we could have achieved more in this race. Now we head straight to Austin, where we will give it our all once again."

"It was a really difficult race. From the beginning, I felt a really big drop with the front tyre. But we still did a really good job because we managed the problems well. Step by step, I was also trying different things in order to improve in these conditions, so I'm happy with that. It was my second race. I'm learning a lot, bit by bit. Let's see what happens next. I'm ready for Austin!"
