Max Quiles took the holeshot,
but David Almansa (Liqui Moly
Dynavolt Intact GP) quickly
moved into the lead. Hakim Dan-
ish also made an early charge,
1.1 seconds heading into the
final lap and securing victory
without further drama. Holgado
followed him across the line to
give Aspar a one-two result.
Piqueras finished third, secur-
ing a maiden Moto2 podium
during an injury-affected rookie
season. Guevara took fourth,
ahead of championship rival

to just 3.5 points, setting up a
close fight for the title with three
races to go.

four on lap six.
The Colombian gradually es-
tablished an advantage, opening
a 1.1-second gap by lap nine.
However, a near highside at turn
14 with three laps remaining al-
lowed Holgado to close in.
Alonso recovered quickly,
rebuilding his advantage to
