Almansa initially grabbed the
holeshot but dropped to eighth
during the early battles before
recovering to second by lap

pressure after a mistake at turn
16, but the Spaniard regained
as Guevara began to close in
on Escrig.
With two laps remaining, Escrig
appeared set for a potential
maiden victory, but a technical
problem ended his challenge and
handed the lead to Guevara. The
Spaniard maintained his compo-
sure to secure another win, while
Gonzalez limited the champion-

If there were any justice, Alex
Escrig (11) would have been a
first-time GP winner. As it was, his
Klint Forward machine gave up the
ghost almost within sight of the
checkered flag and Izan Guevara
(28) took the win to close yet
more points on Manuel Gonzalez.
