2025 Austrian Moto2 - Race Results
Race results from the 2025 Moto2 Austrian Grand Prix, where Diogo Moreira controlled the race from the front for victory.
After not getting the best of starts, Diogo Moreira fought back to control the race from the front for a second win of the seasonat the Red Bull Ring, for round thirteen of the championship, the Moto2 Austrian Grand Prix.
The Italtrans rider had started second, but soon worked his way back to challenge Daniel Holgado for the lead.
The Brazilian first hit the front at the very end of lap two, with Holgado fighting back. Moreira made sure to make his next move stick and from there never looked back, always in front and pulling out a gap over the closing laps on his Kalex to win by 2.375s.
Holgado had secured his maiden pole after Manuel Gonzalez had his grid penalty applied, and had his fellow countryman also piling on the pressure over the opening corners.
The rookie held firm and was the man to take the fight to Moreira for much of the race distance, taking his first ever Moto2 podium in second.

Celestino Vietti had an eventful race on the way to the final podium spot. Early on the Sync SpeedRS rider had Gonzalez for company when he suddenly fell out of the points, later retiring after a stone in his radiator eventually caused a bike failure.
Rookie David Alonso was the nest rider hunting for a rostrum finish, and looked to have secured the position when Vietti was given a late long lap penalty for running on the green paint when fighting for position.
Dropping to sixth, the Italian rapidly recovered, passing Albert Arenas, while Alonso was struggling to keep pace at the front.
Pushing too hard saw him stranded in the gravel at turn nine with five laps to go, and Vietti able to reclaim third, the top Boscoscuro finisher.
That left Arenas fourth for Italjet Gresini, with Tony Arbolino making moves forward all race, chipping away for fifth for Blu Cru Pramac Yamaha.
Ivan Ortola had another solid performance, equalling his best finish in sixth for QJMotor - Frinsa - MSI after keeping seventh placed Barry Baltus at bay on his Fantic bike.
Collin Veijer has improved throughout his rookie season, with a best performance of the season coming in eighth on his Red Bull KTM Ajo at the teams home round, in the same battle.
Izan Guevara was a solo ninth on the second Pramac bike, with Aron Canet rallying after his huge crash earlier in the weekend to finish a battered and bruised tenth for Fantic.
