Senna Agius Reveals Shock After First Moto2 Victory

Senna Agius, the young Australian rider, stunned the Moto2 field by claiming his first-ever race victory at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Riding for the Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP team, Agius started from fifth on the grid but worked his way into contention as the laps counted down.

He found himself locked in a close fight at the front of the pack with Diogo Moreira, David Alonso, and Aron Canet. With the top three pushing the pace, Agius held his nerve and saved his best for last.

On the final lap, Agius made a decisive move. Alonso made a late attempt to pass Canet, which created just enough of an opening for Agius to seize the lead.

Agius let off the brake, committed to his line, and managed to overtake both riders in a single, bold maneuver. Crossing the finish line first, Agius couldn’t hide his excitement.

He said, “I honestly can’t believe it. It hasn’t sunk in yet, grand prix winner sounds pretty good to me.” The victory was a huge moment, and Agius celebrated on the podium by performing a shoey before tossing his boot into the crowd.

For Diogo Moreira, finishing second marked another strong result in his rookie Moto2 season. David Alonso took third, earning his first Moto2 podium.

Alonso’s result was particularly special, coming at the same Silverstone circuit where he earned his maiden Moto3 win. Alonso revealed he was unwell before the race and thanked the doctors at the track for keeping him fit enough to compete.

He also mentioned how tough the early season had been with retirements in Thailand and Argentina but credited his team for keeping faith during hard moments.

The result was a breakthrough for Agius, who returned to Silverstone after a string of near misses earlier in the year. With this win, the Australian added his name to the Moto2 record books and boosted his position in the championship standings.

In the points race, Agius now moves to sixth place, closing the gap to those ahead. Race contenders like Manuel Gonzalez and Barry Baltus were forced to retire, shaking up the standings even further.

The British GP Moto2 race was another chapter in a memorable season. With action up and down the field, Agius’s victory after a carefully crafted pass on the last lap was a highlight. For more details on the Silverstone circuit and its history, visit the official Silverstone website.
