Race one: Tim Gajser was leading as they emerged from the first corner with Jeffrey Herlings going off the track which saw him emerge in fifth position. Herlings had made a move on Vialle and was on Fernandez but then had an issue which saw him lose lots of time.

Andrea Adamo was riding fantastic – he looks great on the 450cc. He was haning with Gajser but then had a bike issue – that’s the second DNF for the rookie.

That allowed Tom Vialle to finish second as Ruben Fernandez also had issues. Mattia Guadagnini was able to hold off Jago Geerts to take third spot.

Race two: It was Jorgen-Matthias Talviku who took the holeshot on his Yamaha machinery ahead of Jago Geerts. However, it was Gajser who was aggressive during the first couple of laps and it didn’t take him long to get to the front. Despite a small tip over he still came home with the win to have the perfect day on his factory Yamaha.

Ruben Fernandez rode a good race to come home in second ahead of his team mate, Jeffrey Herlings who looked to push towards the end of the race – in the end there wasn’t much between the top three.

Alberto Forato passed Tom Vialle on the final lap to finish fourth and get himself on the podium. Adamo went down at turn two when he tagged with Talviku and after getting himself back up to eighth had a mistake on the last lap – but his speed is good.
