And, while Pasini was surprised on the track, the Spaniard Augusto Fernández, until the Austrian race leader of the world championship, suffered a fall on the other one on the track, at the end of the straight, which caused damage to his motorcycle and forced he. to walk back to his workshop, which greatly conditioned his performance in the batch.
Augusto Fernández barely completed three laps before crashing and, at the time, he was in thirteenth position.

His ally, the Spaniard Peter Acostais one of those who also advanced in minutes, despite the occasional fear, to be among the top ten -ninth- when they enter the last ten minutes.
In the final seconds, nothing could dislodge Celestino Vietti from first place, with Pasini following him and the British Jake Dixon (Kalex), third, ahead of Arón Canet (Kalex) and Augusto Fernández, who had time to improved from seventh to fifth place, beating his great championship rival, Japanese Ai Ogura (Kalex), who finished sixth.
