During the Moto2 race in India this past weekend, with just 10 laps remaining, an overtaking attempt led to a crash involving Alonso López and Jake Dixon as they battled for fifth position. Dixon, who started from the pole position, chose not to comment immediately after the incident, waiting for the Moto2 race to conclude before addressing the media at the Buddh Circuit.

Reflecting on the incident, Dixon stated, “I made two strong starts, but during the second one, I lost positions as I had to move off the racing line. I tried to climb up in the first lap, and after overtaking Alonso López, I braked well, but ended up on the ground.”

Dixon remained composed and did not confront López after their fall. The Moto2 race was red-flagged and restarted due to a multi-rider crash at the first turn. In the restarted race, which was shortened to 12 laps, there were no major incidents in the opening lap. However, two laps in, López and Dixon collided, sending both riders into the gravel. Dixon admitted he kept his emotions in check after the crash and did not exchange words with the Spanish rider.

While Dixon was brief in his comments, he concluded by saying, “These things happen. I’m still learning to control myself in such situations and won’t say much more about it. I have a fantastic team that gives their all for me, and I’ll continue fighting for them.”

This is Dixon’s second ‘DNF’ in the last five races. The previous one was in Silverstone, where he was involved in an incident with Darryn Binder. After not scoring points in India, Dixon is now 90 points behind championship leader Pedro Acosta, who extended his lead with a victory at the Buddh Circuit.

The incident between López and Dixon was captured and shared on social media, highlighting the intensity and unpredictability of Moto2 racing. As the championship progresses, every point becomes crucial, and riders must strike a balance between aggression and caution.
