Casadei does the double in last-lap MotoE™ stunner

It was an Italian podium lockout in MotoE™ as Mattia Casadei (HP Pons Los40) controlled Race 2 at the CryptoDATA Motorrad Grand Prix von Österreich to fend off Matteo Ferrari (Felo Gresini MotoE™) on the final lap. The Gresini man was breathing down the neck of the race leader through the final sector but wasn't able to get the better of his compatriot. Kevin Zannoni (Ongetta SIC58 Squadracorse) took his second podium of the day at the Red Bull Ring as he rounded out the Race 2 rostrum. 

MotoE™ was underway for Race 2 in Austria and it was Kevin Zannoni who took the hole shot from pole position. The Italian had Casadei and Eric Granado (LCR E-Team) for company as Casadei decided it was time push his way past his compatriot on lap one. 

A group of eight riders formed at the front in the early stages with the Championship leader Jordi Torres (Openbank Aspar Team) making moves at the back of the group. The Spaniard was unable to cling onto the riders ahead however and brought it home in 6th place. 

Casadei began to stretch out the field with 5 laps to go as Matteo Ferrari got the better of Granado to put himself inside the top three.

Disaster struck with two laps to go for Eric Granado as the Brazilian asked a little bit too much of his front tyre and hit the deck. 

Last lap time came around and it was between the three Italians at the front. Ferrari parked it perfectly up the inside of the Kevin Zannoni for P2 as they barreled towards the final sector. 

Neither of them had an answer for Casadei however who remained untouched at the front and took his third victory in a row. 

Next up for MotoE™ will be the Gran Premi Monster Energy de Catalunya. With the Championship picture hotting up between the leading trio, you're not going to want to miss any of the action on motogp.com!
