Honda HRC Petronas rider Jeffrey Herlings claimed victory in the qualifying race after holding off sustained pressure from reigning champion Romain Febvre (Kawasaki KRT), who stayed close throughout but couldn’t find a way past.
Tim Gajser (Monster Energy Yamaha) secured third after a late pass on Tom Vialle, while championship leader Lucas Coenen (Red Bull KTM De Carli) delivered an impressive comeback ride from a first-corner crash to finish fifth, just ahead of Andrea Adamo and Kay de Wolf (Neestan Husqvarna) who was involved in the crash.
Coenen continues to lead the standings, now holding a six-point advantage over Vialle, with Herlings in third with a 8-point deficit.
