Kiara Fontanesi won her first moto of the year after a pulsating last lap!

Fontanesi had a four second lead going into the final lap but got caught up with a back marker with a couple of turns to go allowing Van de Ven to get alongside her as they charged to the next turn.

Van De Ven was on the outside and unknown to her Larissa Papenmeier made the move on the inside to take second, then on the final turn Papenmeier made the move on Fontanesi! Both girls were side by side up the penultimate jump and collided forcing Papenmeier off the track and back to third with Fontanesi taking a hard fought win over Van De Ven. Courtney Duncan was surprisingly off the pace in the fourth.
