Deniz Oncu earns dramatic victory in red-flagged German Moto2 race

KTM Ajo’s Deniz Oncu earned his second victory of 2025 in a dramatic German Moto2 race that was ended under a red flag. 

A high-speed crash between Albert Arenas and Marcos Ramirez saw the air fence at Turn 1 damaged, forcing the red flag to come out with 21 laps completed. 

Jake Dixon and Senna Agius got good initial launches off the line, but the pair ran wide at the first corner allowing Tony Arbolino to take the lead. 

Agius fought back to fourth but was awarded a double long lap for a jump start, which removed him from contention for the victory.

Deniz Oncu made a strong start from the second row and was pressurising Arbolino for the lead, with the Turkish rider making his move on the third lap. 

However, the Italian had the pace to respond and regained the lead at Turn 1 a lap later. 

Championship contender Diogo Moreira also made a fantastic start to the race, moving from 25th into the top ten within the opening five laps. 

At the front, Oncu decided to strike again down the start/finish straight to take the lead away from Arbolino again. 

Barry Baltus also appeared to have the pace to challenge for the lead of the race as he closed in on the leading pair. 

On Lap 8, Baltus pressured Arbolino for second, as the Italian lost the front and crashed out of the race. 

Further down the order, Moreira continued to make progress from his lowly grid position as he moved into the top five after a strong overtake on the American Racing pair of Joe Roberts and Marcos Ramirez. 

Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez was struggling to make the same progress as Moreira, as he was locked in a battle with rival Aron Canet and Celestino Vietti. 

Gonzalez made his move on Canet, but continued to be stuck behind Vietti, as the trio attempted to close the gap to the riders ahead. 

Moreira’s momentum continued as he looked to take a surprise podium from the back row of the grid, but made contact with polesitter Dixon and was forced into the gravel. 

Albert Arenas used the contact as an opportunity to take the final podium position in third as Dixon recovered from the contact. 

After a dangerous rejoin, reigning Moto3 champion David Alonso ran into the back of Moreira as both riders exited the race. 

As the race settled after the contact between Moreira and Alonso, Dixon re-passed Arenas to move back onto the podium. 

Arenas looked to be taking a comfortable fourth position, but a moment at Turn 1 for Ramirez behind saw him run into the back of his compatriot. 

Both riders exited the race after the high-speed contact, with the air fence at the corner facing significant damage from Ramirez’s machine. 

The red flag was thrown out shortly after the incident as the race concluded with 21 laps completed out of the scheduled 23. 

The result meant that Oncu was declared the victor by just over a tenth of a second. 

Baltus was not afforded the time to challenge Oncu for the victory as the Belgian took second place.

Dixon completed the podium in third after a difficult start to the race from pole position. 

Gonzalez recovered from 16th on the grid to take fourth, while Vietti completed a similar comeback ride in fifth. 

Roberts finished the race in sixth, ahead of championship challenger Canet in seventh. 

Izan Guevara had a strong ride in eighth, while Ayumu Sasaki took ninth and Filip Salac completed the top 10.

Agius completed his double long lap and finished 11th, with Dani Holgado taking the flag in 12th. 

Ivan Ortola started the race strongly but struggled with tyre management as he finished 13th, with Jorge Navarro taking 14th. 

Darryn Binder completed the points finishers of the red-flagged race in 15th.
