The Dutch winner climbed from 15th on the grid to snatch the victory.

Daniel Mogeda (Kawasaki GP Project) joined the Dutch dominance on the podium, claiming third place for his second WorldSSP300 rostrum. The race was nothing short of spectacular, with the top six riders crossing the finish line separated by a mere 0.090 seconds. Jose Luis Perez Gonzalez (Accolade Smrz Racing BGR) maintained his consistency, securing fourth place, while Ruben Bijman (Arco Motor University Team) finished fifth after a track limits penalty. Sixth place went to Jose Manuel Osuna Saez (Deza-Box 77 Racing Team), concluding an intense battle that saw just fractions of a second determining the race’s outcome.

“I started from P15, so I thought it was going to be a pretty tough race, but I was able to overtake a lot of riders at the start. Then the Red Flag came, and I knew I was going to restart more towards the front. On the last lap, I was leading as we came out of the straight, so I thought that everybody was going to overtake me, but it didn’t happen. I’m very happy with this win. I didn’t think this first win was going to happen today, but it worked out. I’ve become really confident on the bike, especially with overtaking and qualifying, and my own pace is better than before. Tomorrow, I’ll try to go as fast as today and be first like today.”
