The second race of the MotoE Austrian GP ended in dramatic fashion. Óscar Gutiérrez was on the verge of victory, but a last-corner crash handed the win to Héctor Garzó.
Gutiérrez (Axxis-MSi) had a strong start from pole position, maintaining the lead before being overtaken by Garzó (Dynavolt Intact GP) in the first corner. Kevin Zannoni (Openbank Aspar) moved into third place, while Miquel Pons (Axxis-MSi) suffered a crash in the opening corners.
On the second lap, Gutiérrez regained the lead, with several riders closely packed at the front. Garzó retook the lead with four laps remaining but couldn’t shake off Gutiérrez, losing the position again on the same lap. Zannoni was also putting pressure on the Spanish duo.
Utilizing the slipstream, Garzó reclaimed the lead at the end of the main straight on the following lap, with Zannoni also passing Gutiérrez. Gutiérrez managed to get back into second and, on the final lap, overtook Garzó to retake the lead, only to crash in the last corner.
This dramatic finish handed the victory to Garzó, putting him very close to securing the championship. Zannoni finished second, with Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team) completing the podium after edging out Torres.
