Former World Champion heaps “most dominant” praise on Jake Dixon
Jake Dixon’s Moto2 win in Argentina has bee🐼n described as his “most dominant performance”.

The 2025 Moto2 season has seen several big names jump ship from Kalex to Boscoscuro chassis in the wake of the Italian constructor’s first world title with Ai Ogura last year, and after only two races Jake Dixon has won his first race aboard his new b🌼ike.
2025’s first Moto2 round saw Celestino Vietti stan🐼d out among the Boscoscuro riders, the Italian being the only rider aboard the Italian frame in Thailand to battle for the podium before crashing out of contention thanks to contact with Senna Agius.
But the Argentinian Gra🤡nd Prix saw a level of domi♛nation from Jake Dixon that the British rider was never able to demonstrate on the Kalex, winning by 3.525 seconds over Thailand winner Manuel Gonzalez.
“It was the most dominant performance of his Grand Prix career,” said TNT Sports presenter and former 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson, speakജing after the Argentina race.
“He’s in his seventh season in Moto2, and wh𝓀at a time to start shining. Even his interviews 🐷seem different.
“Sometimes his interviews were a bit [of a word salad] in the past, and I know why: because he was trying to say the right things in the past and sometimes you could sort of tell deep dow🐬n he didn’t quite believe what he was saying.
“Obviously, we’ve witnessed that, we’ve witnesꦐsed the growth. What he’s done, he’s had to really take a step back, be vulnerable, seek some outside he🧜lp from the psychology side of racing, which – I talk about a lot – is key.
“We know he’s got the skill, he🐻’s got the technique, so it’s really good to see it pay off.”
One of the technical changes Dixon made for the Argentina weekend was the addition of a thumb-operated rear brake to hisꦦ rider cockpit.
TNT Sports MotoGP analyst Michael Laverty explained that, while it’s clearly been a good adaptation to the thumb brake for Dix😼on, it’s not a solu🀅tion that’s straightforward to introduce.
“It takes a while to reprogramme your brain to use the thumb 𒀰brake,ꦍ” Laverty said.
“He probably has a dual system on there where he can🏅 use the foot [or] the thumb, but then he knows where there’s a little bit more to gain from the thumb brake, which is at maximum lean angle in right-handers you can really use it to turn.
“It’s a work in progress for him, but the fact that he put it on for the first time this wꩵeekend from FP1 and then he had the weekend that he had, I think [he should keep it].”
