est was the title battle behind.
Moreira and Gonzalez had al-
ready traded blows in qualifying,
with
the Spaniard (seventh on the
grid) coming off better than the
Brazilian (16th). Gonzalez's early
race was strong as he fought for
third place.
Yet he soon found his front
feel disappearing. All the while,
Moreira advanced. By lap eight,
Moreira jumped to sixth, a place
behind his adversary and less
than a second back.
But with just three laps to go,
Gonzalez then tucked the front in
turn 15, moving Moreira into fifth

reer, Moreira (256 points) leads
a World
Championship, with
Gonzalez (247) now nine points
behind after remounting for 25th.
David Alonso (CFMOTO RCB

mate, Holgado, for second on
lap

(Fantic Kalex) following through
for the final podium spot.
But what was of greater inter-
(CFMOTO RCB Aspar Kalex)
got the jump.
But soon Dixon
was on him. Having disposed
of Albert Arenas' (Italjet Gresini
Kalex) early challenge, the
Englishman took control on lap
three and never looked back.
