Johann Zarco cruises to a comfortable maiden Moto2 win ahead of Alex Rins and Sam Lowes in Argentina to lead the Moto2 World Championship.

Zarco takes maiden Moto2 victory to lead Championship.

Ajo Motorsport rider Johann Zarco claimed his first win of the 2015 season to take over the lead at the top of the Moto2 World Championship standings.

At one point it looked like Speed Up Racing’s Sam Lowes might hunt down Johann Zarco, but he didn't have quite have the pace and found himself coming under pressure from Rookie Alex Rins on the Paginas Amarillas HP40 machine towards the end of the race. Alex Rins eventually overtaking the Brit with 2 laps to go to take second place as Sam Lowes ran into some tyre issues, although the Brit managed to hang on to claim the final podium spot.

Last years Moto2 runner-up Mika Kallio (Italtrans Racing Team) was in fourth, ahead of his Italian teammate Franco Morbidelli (Italtrans Racing Team) and Thomas Luthi (Derendinger Racing Interwetten) on Kalex.

Sandro Cortese (Dynavolt Intact GP) finished in 7th, ahead of Lorenzo Baldassari (Athina Forward Racing), Jonas Folger (AGR Team) and Hafizh Syahrin (Petronas Raceline Malaysia) on the bike completing the top ten.

Reigning Moto2™ World Champion Tito Rabat (Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS) took the hole shot into the first corner, but then ran wide after dicing with Johann Zarco (Ajo Motorsport) for the lead, and was forced to rejoined the track at the back of the field, eventually finishing in 12th.

Sam Lowes and Johann Zarco the award give, please, make a smile

Xavier Simeon and Johann Zarco promise

Ajo Motorsport's Johann Zarco took second place in Austin, scoring the first ever Moto2 podium for the Finnish team.

Bad luck struck for him in Qatar, but this Sunday in Austin, Johann Zarco could finally finish off a great weekend with his first podium of the season, his second position was one he fought for right from the first lap, and was a deserved reward for a great start to the year, this is also the first podium for Ajo Motorsport in Moto2, in their rookie season in the class.

Mixed track conditions did not set Zarco back at the start of the race, starting from the second row, the Frenchman took the lead just after the first corner, from that moment, the Ajo Motorsport rider pushed hard and ignored the drops of rain that fell on the opening laps, he would only relinquish the lead of the race with 6 laps to go, as eventually race winner Sam Lowes got past him.

It was a very nice race.

I'm happy, because after the opening corners i was leading the race and for a long time i was up at the front and feeling comfortable.

It was a pleasure to lead.

Six laps from the end, Sam Lowes overtook me he was going a little better and although i tried to follow him, it was not easy and he slowly pulled away.

I had a little incident with Xavier Simeon and i lost some time.

I did not know he had crashed, so i feel bad for him.

I tried to catch Sam, but he was very fast. Second position is very important and very good for the championship.

The bike went very well, so i thank the team for a good job.

We have to keep working because i can still go faster, and that will be important for the next races.

Xavier Siméon pointing with sorry and frustration as crash on award give, Johann Zarco discussing with fear and happy tear as the lead on the 2nd position we finish line, my promise.

Zarco the end result in Qatar was unfair

Please, make a smile.

Johann Zarco, who was cruelly denied The Moto2 victory in Qatar, is relishing the chance to make amends in Austin.

Only a mechanical failure prevented Johann Zarco from taking his first win in Moto2 in Qatar, on his debut with the Ajo Motorsport team.

A superb weekend, in which he never placed outside the Top 3 in practice, was halted only by bad luck preventing the French rider from opening 2015 with a win.

In the end he had to settle for a creditable eighth place.

Still smiling, Zarco heads to the United States confident and convinced that following the same working formula will bring success soon enough.

Eighth position at Losail was his best start to a season in the intermediate category, but not a just reward for a weekend in which his chances of a win were high.

Zarco arrives at the Circuit of The Americas optimistic and aware of the potential of the package available to him.

Despite a crash in the race last year, a front row achieved in 2014 and sixth - gaining 11 places in 2013 are two happy memories of the track.

The end result in Qatar was unfair after the great weekend we had, but that's racing and anything can happen.

Anyway, i will keep a smile on my face because the work we did - throughout the whole team - was excellent and i felt very comfortable on the bike, it was very easy to ride and the times were good every day.

In the end we picked up eight important points.

The objective in Austin will be to copy exactly the same way of working and hope that luck is on our side on Sunday.

Last year i failed to finish the race but started from the front row and in 2013 i was in the top 10, so it's a circuit i think is fairly good for me.
