Tony Arboli𓃲no wins a red-flagged Australian Moto2 Grand Prix as weather conditions deteriorate at Phillip Island.
The race was halted on lap 10 of 23 as the wind increased on an a🙈lready soaking wet and cold track, by which time Arbolino held a massive 15-second lead ove🌠r Aron Canet.
A restart was planned to be held ov෴er just 6 laps but was ultimately cancelled. With less than 2/3 distance🃏 complete, half points were awarded.
"With these conditions, we should have double points, not half!" joked Arbolino𓆏.
Runaway title leader Pedro Acosta fell on the sighting lap and was unable to restart his bike. Acosta's Ajo Kalex returned to the pits on the back of a trailer and he was forced to start from the b🦄ack of the grid.
Acosta was credited�ꦡ� with ninth by the time of the stoppage and, despite Sunday's drama, can wrap up the title next weekend in Buriram.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20꧟ years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit ☂story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
