OFFICIAL MOTOGP RACE REPORT

Moto2

The race was scheduled to be run for 22 laps, but was red-flagged after 3 full laps due to a multi-rider crash involving Senna Agius, David Alonso, and Filip Salač at turn 9. The first restart was scheduled for 11 laps, but was also red-flagged after a full lap was completed due to a crash involving Sergio García and Luca Lunetta at turn 3. For the second restart, the race was scheduled for 7 laps and was completed without another red flag.[1]

Initially, the results were issued with full championship points because 11[b] total laps were completed, which is above the threshold for full championship points (must complete at least 50% of the original race distance). However, on 6 March 2026, FIM announced that the results of the Moto2 race would award half points as only 10 full laps were officially completed, less than 50% of the original distance. Per the regulations, the single completed lap from race 2 should have been considered null and void and should not have been added to the total laps completed because 3 full laps was not completed in race 2. FIM has said that the race control software, that normally issues a prompt that 50% of the original race distance has not been completed, erroneously added the single completed lap from part 2 to the results, leading to the initial full-points classification.[2]
