American Rossi Attila Moor, riding his MMR Kalex on the 3.15-mile (5.07 km) track, was 10th during Moto2 European Championship Race 1 Sunday morning at MotorLand Aragón, in Spain and 15th during Race 2 Sunday afternoon.
According to race direction footage, Moor suffered a violent high-side crash in Free Practice 1 and was described as “bigger than a semi truck,” yet miraculously escaped with no broken bones—despite intense pain, he continues to push through.
Reminder: American Max Toth is out having a shoulder surgery.

More from a press release issued by Revesz Racing:
The fourth round of the FIM JuniorGP Moto2 category took place on July 27 at MotorLand Aragón.
The weather conditions were absolutely ideal for motorcycle racing. During Saturday’s practice, Rossi posted the 14th fastest time, which qualified him for Q2, where he secured the 17th spot on the starting grid.
The bike setup wasn’t optimal for qualifying, so the team decided to “go all in” and completely overhaul the bike’s dynamics in a new direction. Rossi didn’t have the chance to test the new setup before the race, so he was left hoping it would work out.
In the first race, during the second lap, Ruiz and Voight both crashed due to highsides, scattering debris across the track. The race officials waved the red flag, and the race was restarted 15 minutes later.
The restarted race was shortened to just 9 laps. Rossi got off to a strong start and steadily gained positions, improving by 8 places to finish 10th, earning 6 points toward the championship.
The second race was also interrupted by a crash and a red flag, resulting in another 9-lap sprint.
As always, the Hungarian-American rider from Révész Racing gave it his all to achieve a better result, but the bike’s setup didn’t allow him to maintain a competitive pace. He managed to climb up to 15th place by the end of the race.
Over the weekend, Rossi earned a total of 7 points and currently stands 15th in the overall standings.
Now comes a longer break in the FIM JuniorGP calendar, with racing resuming on September 21 at Mugello.
