Mika Kallio Wins Restarted Moto2 race in Indy

Posted:

Mika Kallio has ran away with the 2014 Indy Moto2 Gp launching to the lead not once but twice from the start line after a red flag interrupted race in the early hours of this morning.

The initial Moto2 race was red-flagged after a crash on only the fourth lap; and the restart run over a shortened 16 laps.

Both times pole qualifier Mika Kallio (Marc VDS Racing Team Kalex) grabbed an instant lead, and the Finnish rider was able to preserve it to the finish.

‰ÛÏThe first two laps of the first race were incredible and I felt immediately really confident and fast on fresh tyres." Kallio admitted. "For the second race we decided to keep the same tyres and I didn‰Ûªt have the same good feeling.

"I still managed to open up a gap but I was pushing on the limit and the gap to second remained the same, so it was impossible for me to pull away. I just concentrated on keeping the gap to just over a second.

"It is a great feeling to win from pole position and be in control of the race from start to finish. It is a big result for the championship and now we go to Brno, where I won last year, with a lot of confidence.‰Û
