Double victory for Veneman after last lap penalty for Iglesias

Loris Veneman (MTM Kawasaki) made it two for two at Autodom Most after an action packed WorldSSP300 race.

The 12 lap race saw crashes from the lead group but the race turned following a last lap penalty for Inigo Iglesias (Fusport-RT Motorsport by SKM-Kawasaki).

Iglesias was given a penalty for irresponsible riding on the main straight on the final lap. With Veneman trying to chase down Iglesias on the final lap it came down to a slipstream battle for the win. Veneman was pushed towards the pit wall and the FIM Stewards adjudged it to be a dangerous move after the Kawasaki riders made contact with each other.

A tyre pressure infringement saw Aldi Mahendra (Team BrCorse) start from the back of the grid. The Indonesian rode fantastically to move into the points in the early laps and then made progress into the top ten and eventually the podium. On the last lap Mahendra led a ten rider group across the line.

Iglesias continues to lead the championship. Mahendra is 19 points adrift with double Most winner Veneman a further four points back.

P1 | Loris Veneman | MTM Kawasaki
“I couldn’t have imagined a better weekend. It was a hard battle because with four laps to go, there was a big crash in front of me. I had to slow down and avoid it and I lost 1.5 or 2 seconds to Inigo. With 2 laps to go I had caught up and in the end in the end I took the win. I’m really happy! Of course, the Championship is always the goal. And now I’m even closer in the standings than I was yesterday! I’ll try my best to do in Portimao.”
