David Alonso (CFMoto), and In the end that decision turned out to be the wrong one as they were unable to do a single fast lap.

The Australian was right when he exited the track, as a small group formed Colin Veijer and the spanish Angel Piqueras (Honda) and David Almansa (Honda), among others, who were able to achieve their goal and ended up in top positions.

The Dutch Collin Veijer (Husqvarna) was the first to return to the track alonewhile the rest of the rivals patiently waited in their workshops until David Alonso left, which took longer than expected and that meant that in this outing on the track they almost had to play all their trick in a fast lap.
