Another fantastic podium for Fantic and Canet in Phillip Island

At the Australian GP, Aron Canet fought for victory until the very last lap, ultimately finishing in second place. This marks his and Fantic Racing Moto2’s sixth podium of the season, and the fourth out of the last five races.

Aron Canet delivered a thrilling performance at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. Starting fast from second on the grid, he showed great pace right from the beginning, managing the early stages of the race with precision. Only Aldeguer was able to match his speed, leading to an exciting, action-packed duel filled with overtakes and counter-overtakes, all while setting blistering lap times.

In the lead with only a few corners remaining, Canet just missed out on the win in the final stages, crossing the finish line in second place. This podium further highlights his excellent form and the incredible synergy between him and the Fantic Racing Moto2 squad. The 24-year-old Spaniard also set the fastest lap of the race with a time of 1'30.816, even quicker than Saturday’s pole time and a new all-time lap record for the Moto2 category.

Xavi Cardelus continued his steady progress in Australia, finishing 20th after another solid performance on a challenging track.

Aron Canet: This was one of my best Moto2 races. For me, it feels like a victory because I gave everything I had. I am really happy with my performance. Now I am back to second place in the championship standings, and we want to keep pushing all the way to Valencia. I want to thank my team for their incredible work, my sponsors, and my family for their support.”

Roberto Locatelli, Fantic Racing Moto2 Team Manager: "I am very happy for today’s race, it is a second place that smells of victory. Aron did a great race. He managed the pace well and attacked at the right time. It is performances like these that allow you to win championships. In the races he finished second, the winner was a different rider everytime. This shows the great continuity of the results that Aron has achieved together with the team. It is a well-deserved podium for the great work that Fantic is doing as a compsny, and therefore we want to thank the people who make all of this possible. We have achieved a great feeling between the team and the rider, which allows us to always be competitive. For Xavi Cardelus it wasn't an easy race but he managed to finish and gain additional experience. With him we continue our work, in order to grow race after race.
