  • David Alonso took third to secure his fifth podium of an impressive rookie season.
  • Manu González placed sixth, keeping the championship undecided heading into Ricardo Tormo next Sunday.
  • Starting from pole, Moreira reclaimed the lead from Veijer with three laps remaining and managed the closing stages.
  • Incidents shaped the race order, including contact that felled Ayumu Sasaki and Marcos Ramírez and a final‑lap crash for Jake Dixon.
