Celestino Vietti (KTM Ajo) won the Moto2 Malaysian Grand Prix after leading every lap of a hot, tough race at Sepang.
After grabbing the lead at the first corner, Vietti’s lead fluctuated throughout a race that proved tough on both bikes and riders. The Italian, who was riding injured in Malaysia, streaked to a 1.6s advantage as early as lap two, but could not maintain such a comfortable gap.
