Watch this space for Agius

Moto2 Aussie Senna Agius started the season off with a sensational come from behind podium at the Thai Grand Prix, with the New South Welshman making his second career visit to the Moto2 Dias.

After showing good signs with the German based Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP team in ’24, Agius hit back at the season opener after taking a long lap penalty after qualifying in fourth.

The Aussie’s promotion into the series saw him skip the Moto3 grid after dominating the European Moto2 championship in ’23, with his formative season resulting in a sole podium at his home GP. But the #81 rider said that his Thai podium takes the cake as he leaves Buriram third in the championship.

“Honestly, I thought Phillip Island was the highlight of my career, this smashes that,” a delighted Agius said.

After moving into third off the starting line, his attempt on lap 11 to move into second saw him push the limits a bit too enthusiastically.

“Cele started to struggle, I was going to make a pass for P2 and I was a bit optimistic. I have to say sorry to them because that pass was on the limit.”

After taking the long lap penalty, the large gap to fifth saw him stay in fourth, but a staggering fight back with seven laps remaining saw him charge back into podium contention, with a Turn 12 move in the closing laps securing P3.

“I did the penalty and then I said ‘Okay, don’t make any mistake’ because by that time I had no tyre left.

“I was catching Moreira one by one, and I should have passed him more aggressively but I was just a bit tense on the bike – but that will come. I can’t believe I got it done.”

Agius will next hit the track on March 16 at the Argentine Grand Prix.
