The Briton did the decisive move on the straight before turn 9-10 not giving any chance to Leopard rider, while Aron Canet overtook Kaito Toba at turn 11 with a contact in which both stayed up; the hazard paid off for Aron who could dedicate the podium to his grandfather and Max Biaggi’s dad, passed away during this week. This is also a great result for the Championship for Max Racing Team rider.
Canet could take advantage of mistakes of his rivals, beginning from Niccolò Antonelli who crashed out at 15th lap ruining a good comeback and losing so many points for the Championship; not the same but similar story for Jaume Masia, penalized with 2.2 seconds due to a shortcut. Bester Capital Dubai ruined his teammate Race as well, as long as the Spaniard forced Andrea Migno out of the track during the penultimate lap.
Disaster for Tatsuki Suzuki also, with the Japanese crashed after leading most of the race at turn 3 involving also Tony Arbolino who could not avoid Suzuki’s bike; unlucky ending for Snipers rider who surely had the chance of fighting at least for the podium
