The finalists had a brief break ahead of race two, and the contest fell into a familiar pattern.
Williams_Adrian once again led from the front and dictated the pace while Williams_Cristian and trastevere73 pushed from behind. Meanwhile, another early crash left AndrewZH’s championship challenge in tatters.
Despite the glorious Phillip Island favouring the sweet handling Suzuki GSX-RR and Yamaha M1, Williams_Adrian didn’t put a foot wrong aboard his KTM RC16 to win by the narrowest of margins – just 0.3s covered the two Montenegro brothers, while trastevere73 made a welcome return to the podium, just 0.9s behind.
There were super rides from EleGhosT555, who finished fourth, Esponsorama Avintia Ducati’s MrTftw in fifth and excelling around his home track, and Davidegallina23 collecting another top six finish. AndrewZH was a disappointing tenth.
The results see Williams_Adrian increase his lead in the standings to a commanding 39 points. Williams_Cristian’s two second places see him remain second overall, with trastevere73 still in the running in third, 61 points back. AndrewZH is basically out of the running and must recover 89 points should he wish to retain his title. But with double points on offer at the final round, there is all to play for.
The finalists now have more than three weeks to prepare for the fourth and final round of the series. The date of it will be announced soon. With double points available for both races, anything can happen. You won’t want to miss it!
