2025 San Marino Moto2 - Race Results
Race results from the 2025 Moto2 San Marino Grand Prix, won by home hero Celestino Vietti after a dominant display.
After pushing ahead from the very first lap, Celestino Vietti built up a enough of a lead to absorb late pressure from a rapidly approaching Barry Baltus to take victory at round sixteen of the championship, the Moto2 San Marino Grand Prix.
From second on the grid the Beta Tools SpeedRS rider wasted no time in taking over, looking to build a lead, with Daniel Holgado initially trying to go with the Italian at his local race.
By lap three Vietti was almost half a second clear and from that point he built a solid lead.
The last quarter of the race saw Barry Baltus pick up the pace, falling just short of catching the #14, who lead over the line aboard the Boscoscuro for his and his teams first win of the season, becoming the tenth different winner in Moto2 this year.
Fantic Racing Lino Sonego rider Baltus had started fourth and at first slipped back on his Kalex into the battle for third, as low as sixth. Late pace ad a strong tyre left over the closing laps saw the Belgian ready to push, reeling in Vietti and giving him a nervous last lap, finishing 0.747s behind.

Rookie Daniel Holgado had less luck with his tyre - a rear issue saw him put safety first, backing up his Catalan win and pole with another podium finish for Aspar.
Diogo Moreira had been battling Senna Agius for fourth, when he was gifted the position when the Australian ran wide over the Aldo Drudi artwork late in the race, around Curvone.
That dropped the Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP rider back into a battle with his teammate, championship leader Manuel Gonzalez, getting the better of the Spaniard after starting the last lap side-by-side, pulling away for a clear fifth.
Gonzalez was sixth, with his visor up and zips undone on the arms of his leathers after the chequered flag.
Aron Canet was closing having been at the head of he chasing group after contact early on with Jake Dixon, the battered ad bruised Fantic rider sitting seventh for much of the race after dropping to ninth over the early laps.
David Alonso was eighth in a fairly static race for most of the riders behind on the second Aspar bike, ahead of Tony Arbolino, who dropped to ninth for Blu Cru Pramac Yamaha, his best result since Austria after a tough few rounds for the Italian.
His teammate Izan Guevara completed the top ten.
