TEAM HDR HEIDRUN

THAI GP RACE: LÓPEZ FINISHES IN TOP 10, VIETTI OUT AFTER CONTACT WITH AGIUS 10 LAPS FROM THE FINISH LINE

The first round of the 2025 Moto2 World Championship ended with mixed emotions for Team HDR Heidrun. Celestino Vietti, who made an excellent start and was immediately a protagonist in the leading group, saw his podium hopes vanish ten laps from the end due to contact with Agius. Alonso López, on the other hand, delivered a solid race, finishing the Thai GP in the top 10.

Vietti launched off the line with determination, taking the lead immediately before being overtaken by poleman and eventual race winner, Manuel González. Settling into second place with a strong pace, the Italian rider was fighting for the podium when an aggressive overtaking attempt by Agius forced him to crash, ending his race prematurely.

On the other side of the garage, López didn’t have the best start but maintained consistency and focus throughout the 22 laps under the scorching Thai heat. The number 21 rider ultimately crossed the finish line in tenth place.

Team HDR Heidrun is now fully focused on the next round in Argentina, scheduled for the weekend of March 14-16.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 10th

“It was a very demanding race, especially because of the intense heat that made everything more difficult. The start wasn’t the best, but I tried to stay focused and manage the pace as best as possible to recover positions. In the end, we bring home a top 10 finish, which is a good starting point for the season. Obviously we want more, so we will work hard to improve for Argentina. I thank the team for the great work done during the weekend and I can’t wait to get back on track”.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: DNF

“It’s a shame the weekend ended like this because it was very productive. We improved the feeling step by step, working well and closing the gap with the leaders more and more. I believe this is the right path to achieve great results. We could have definitely taken home some good points, but it’s still a valuable experience for the upcoming races. Now, we need to keep our spirits high and continue working hard, because in the end, results will come”.
