Izan Guevara (Pramac) ahead of Sepang: “My confidence remains unshaken!”

As far as the Moto2 title race is concerned, everything has remained the same following the Australian Grand Prix. The race in the middleweight class of the Motorcycle World Championship also fell victim to the weather conditions at Phillip Island. With four race weekends remaining, championship leader Manuel Gonzalez still holds a 5.5-point lead over Izan Guevara.

In terms of confidence, however, Gonzalez was able to take an important step forward in Australia. Although there were no points to be had, the Intact rider secured pole position on Saturday. He was thus faster than Guevara, who could only manage the sixth-fastest time in qualifying.

Pramac rider Guevara has won three races in a row. The Spaniard is in excellent form and brimming with confidence. He was very disappointed that the race at Phillip Island did not go ahead.

Sepang: A special place for Izan Guevara

This weekend the action continues in Malaysia. The Sepang International Circuit holds special significance for Guevara, as it was there in 2024 that he secured his first Moto2 podium with a third-place finish. “We’re heading to a circuit in Malaysia that I really like. That’s where I achieved my first Moto2 podium, so I have fond memories of this place,” Guevara emphasised. “Sepang is a long and very varied circuit with a mix of fast corners and stop-and-go sections that put every aspect of the bike and the rider to the test.”

Izan Guevara is aiming for his fourth consecutive victory at Sepang. “Given the level we’re currently at, I think we can be very competitive. We’re in good form, so we need to keep enjoying it and carry on working as we have been,” said the Spaniard. “It was a shame we couldn’t race in Australia, but our confidence remains undiminished, and we’ll be giving it our all again this weekend.”
