Austria gave us two more barnstormers in the lightweight class, and we wouldn’t expect anything less. Last time out though, Arenas didn’t get it all his own way and couldn’t quite get on the podium. He’s done in before though, and is both a proven veteran and winner, so he can’t be counted out. The Italian contingent will be eager for some home glory in Misano though, and their ranks are led by the top two in the Styrian GP: first time Moto3™ winner Celestino Vietti (Sky Racing Team VR46) and runner up Tony Arbolino (Rivacold Snipers Team). It was an emotional first win for rider and team at the aptly-named track last year, and that will boost his confidence after a couple of tougher races following his Andalucian GP win.
