Former championship leader, Sacha Coenen, finished sixth overall and now trails Farres by 47 points in the championship. "A difficult weekend," Coenen said. "I was not feeling 100 per - cent and was getting quite tired. We just need to accept the 6-7 even if I am not so happy with the result. I brought some good points home and I hope in two weeks we can be back going for the win. Battling for the champi - onship again is now key."

Janis Reisulis finished fifth on the day, putting both Yamahas inside the top five overall. hard work. It was also great to see Guillem on the podium again, and I had another good battle with Simon Laengenfelder in the second moto. It was a tough race and physically demanding, but luckily, I was fit enough to keep pushing right to the end and come away with the win." Championship leader Farres took second overall but contin - ues his hold on the red plate. The Triumph rider led much of race one before a mistake allowed teammate McLellan through. A few more mistakes throughout the day saw him surrender the lead position before going 3-2 for second overall. While his four- race win streak came to an end, Farres still increased his cham - pionship lead to 47 points and remains firmly in control as the series enters its final stretch. "It was a great weekend for me," Farres said. "I finally put together two solid starts after a tough one yesterday. I led a lot of laps and did my own race. Camden was fast today, so in the second race I tried to learn from him and made a push at the end to hold second. I go race by race; I want to win every time I go out, but I also know Camden is strong—I train with him—so when I saw him going in the second race I settled for second, I think that was the right call." Laengenfelder completed the podium for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team. The defend - ing World Champion battled both Triumph riders during race two and briefly took over the lead from McLellan.
