Jack Dixon admits he was “a bit annoyed” when lapped riders in the Moto2 Americas Grand ಞPrix failed to follow blue flag protocols, leading to a “dangerous” situation.

The Moto2 race at the Circuit of the Americas 💎ꦯwas run on a wet track last Sunday, with Dixon dominating from pole for his second win of the season.

Several riders elected to fit slick tyr🔯es for the start🐲, but instantly dropped to the back of the field, with five competitors ultimately taking the chequered flag a lap down.

At one stage, Marc VDS rider Dixon had to navigate his way thrꦡough the lapped traffic, who he says weren’t following blue flag protocols signalling for them to move out of the way.

“Hone🐼stly, I was a little bit annoyed about that because when the blue flag is out you move,” he told TNT Sports.

“But they just didn’🌠t move. And I understand you’re on slicks and you’re trying to stick to the line.

“But you see me coming and they still stay on the line, so it’s quite dangero🎐us because Iไ thought they would move.

“But it is what it is, you just have to tr♌y to move past that. I know they’re trying to do their race and Iꦅ understand that as well.

“But it’s super difficult to try and get back into the flow, and I saw Tony [Arbolino] kept tryin🤡g to up the pace, so I just kept trying to respond as much as I could without trying to take too much risk.

“And I felt like I managed that🤪 well, but I really didn’t have much more than I was doing out front.”

Dixon now leads the championship for the first time following his first back-to-back victories in his ca𒆙reer since the 2018 British Sup𒊎erbike season.

It comes after injury early last year forced him out of the opening two rounds, with Dixon not scoring poiꦜnts until the sixth round of the 2𝓰024 campaign.

Reflecting on his Americas GP win, an emotional Dixon said: “I can’t believe it. I’ve always wanted to do🏅 back-to-back [wiꦛns], but you never know if it’s possible.

“And obviously in those conditions it’s never a certainty. What🍒 a difficult race. From lap one I didn’t feel I had good grip, but then I stuck with it, tried to do the best I could do, raced m൲yself.

“Me and my team have been saying and all my friends an💦d all the people who support me, my group, just said ‘race your race and do your ꦉthing’. So, it’s a massive credit to them.

“I just kept telling myself to ‘stay focused, you’ve do𓃲ne this all your life, you do this on the minibike track, you d🥂o this in training. This is what you’ve worked so hard towards’.

“I’m just so grateful to be where I am. I know how difficult it was last year anꩲd I really appreciate the times like this because I know how hard they are and how rare they are, and I’m really cherishing these moments.

“It’s a massive thank you to the Marc VDS team.”
