There is a new winner in the MotoE World Championship. Kevin Zannoni made his debut by winning in the category this Saturday, in an exciting second race of the Catalan GP in Barcelona.
Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team) had a good start to take the lead, while his teammate Eric Granado started from pole position and finished third behind Zannoni (Openbank Aspar).
Still in the first lap, Granado moved up to second, before attacking Casadei and taking the lead at the beginning of the second lap. In turn ten of that lap, Casadei crashed while in second place.
Therefore, Óscar Gutiérrez (Axxis-MSi), winner of the first race, became third. The battle was between Granado, Gutiérrez, and Zannoni, until three laps from the end Granado also crashed, in turn five.
Gutiérrez and Zannoni continued to fight for the lead, until on the last lap the Italian launched a decisive attack in turn one. He then defended well to secure the victory, relegating Gutiérrez to second and taking the championship lead.
Alessandro Zaccone (Tech3 E-Racing) finished third, with the top five being completed by Jordi Torres (Openbank Aspar) and Héctor Garzó (Dynavolt Intact GP).
