At the age of 27, Jake Dixon had his best season in the world championships so far in 2023. The Briton, who rides in the colours of the GASGAS Aspar Team, finished the season in fourth position and won his first Moto2 race.
This was the fifth full-time season in the intermediate class for Dixon (who started 2019 in Moto2), even though his debut came two years earlier, and the truth is that the results are gradually getting better.
In 18 races, the #96 has taken two victories, with the Assen round being a memorable one, dictating his winning debut, a result he would later repeat in Catalunya.
Dixon, who curiously enough has already had the opportunity to make his MotoGP debut with Yamaha in 2021 with the then Petronas SRT, has yet to launch a real title bid in Moto2, where there are many talents and promising youngsters, and where teams in the top category so often look for reinforcements.
After two wins, eleven podiums and four pole positions in 2023, the question remains: how far can Dixon go? Will 2024 be the year of glory that the Briton has long coveted?
