Disaster struck Izan Guevara at the Qatar Moto2 Grand Prix in Lusail as a catastrophic mechanical failure forced him to retire from the race. The severe malfunction on his Boscoscuro machine completely derailed his championship momentum and sparked intense fury within the garage toward single-engine supplier Triumph regarding component reliability.
The technical woes hampered the Spanish rider's pace right from the opening moments of the contest. Guevara explained the extreme lack of straight-line power that left him completely defenseless against overtaking rivals. "From the second meter after the start, we lacked top speed on the straight, which was strange because we are always very fast there. I was completely unable to battle with any other rider, and everyone was passing me easily," Guevara recalled regarding his lack of pace.
The engine issues progressively worsened until the transmission suffered a complete mechanical seizure near the end of the race. "When exiting turn six in first gear, shifting into second caused the engine to bog down before reacting again. Then, with four laps remaining as I shifted down entering turn one, the gearbox locked up and I couldn't continue," explained the Pramac Yamaha rider detailing the terrifying sequence of events.
The breakdown was not entirely unexpected, as the team had already alerted technical officials following similar issues during the Asian tour. Guevara revealed that injection anomalies were detected as early as FP2 in Malaysia, yet no replacement unit was provided prior to the Qatar race. Pramac Yamaha Team Manager Alex de Angelis voiced deep disappointment over the costly oversight, demanding transparent explanations from official suppliers after losing vital championship points through no fault of their own.
Despite trailing championship leader Manuel Gonzalez by 13.5 points heading into the final two rounds at Portimao and Valencia, Guevara remains determined to fight until the very end. "It is not a mistake on our side. I believe we did a fantastic job throughout the Asian tour. We are only 13.5 points behind the leader, so nothing is lost yet. We will keep fighting and give everything in these final two remaining circuits; keeping calm and going all out," he declared confidently.
