\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDavid Alonso escaped injury after being run over by Filip Salac during the Moto2 race at Buriram, Thailand.<\/p>\n
Agius scored his first Moto2 pole position on Saturday at Buriram International Circuit for his IntactGP team. However, Sunday\u2019s race was one to forget.<\/p>\n
The Australian suffered a slow start and plummeted to sixth by Lap 3.<\/p>\n
It was on that lap that the first of two red flags flew when David Alonso clipped Agius\u2019 rear wheel.<\/p>\n
Alonso was hit by American Racing rider Filip Salac, who copped a secondary hit by Agius.<\/p>\n
The race was stopped nearly a lap later with Alonso splayed on the side of the track.<\/p>\n
Agius reportedly suffered an electrical issue, and had to restart the race from the pit lane.<\/p>\n

A big thank you to my team, who quickly fixed the problem.<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, I had to start from the pit lane and then there was another restart.<\/p>\n \u201cI caught up as much ground as I could in the shortened distance. But in the end, we will throw this Sunday in the rubbish and start afresh in Brazil.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are taking a lot of strengths away from this weekend. So, we will quickly put this behind us, because things happened today that we could not control.<\/p>\n \u201cI am looking forward to the next race, because my team is doing an excellent job.\u201d<\/p>\n Gonzalez, who started seventh, labelled his win the \u201chardest\u201d of his career.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had a tough weekend because yesterday was a really difficult day for us,\u201d said Gonzalez.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we managed to salvage the situation. Above all, I had to be patient and think about how and when to overtake.<\/p>\n \u201cOur strength was the bike\u2019s turning, and I made good use of that to overtake other riders in the tight corners.<\/p>\n \u201cApart from that, the heat made it very difficult to control the front wheel. That is why I am very happy with the work of the team and all the people who help me off the track, such as my family.<\/p>\n \u201cA big thank you to everyone. So, here we go, we have secured another victory and started the season just like last year. Let\u2019s see if we can keep it up.\u201d<\/p>\n Moto2 continues its season at Goiana in Brazil on March 20-22.<\/p>\n Results: Moto2 Grand Prix of Thailand, Buriram International Circuit<\/p>\n Pos 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 DNS DNS DNS DNS DNS DNS DNS DNS
