Red flagged race but a red letter day for Huertas

Having waited until the last moment to lead Race 1 Adrian Huertas (Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team) was out to assert himself in Race 2.

At Turn 11 on lap 1 he was already out in front of the Supersport field and opening a gap to the rest

Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) was his nearest competitor and pouched when Huertas ran wide at Turn 10 on lap 8. Montella’s lead was short-lived with his rival moving back to the front one lap prior to a red flag bringing proceedings to a close

The red flag was deployed two laps before the scheduled 18 lap distance was due to be completed following a crash for Bahattin Sofuoglu (MV Agusta Reparto Corse) at the fast Turn 11

Valentin Debise (Evan Bros. WorldSSP Yamaha Team), Stefano Manzi (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) and Jorge Narvarro (Orelac Racing Verdnatura) had a hard fought race for the final place on the podium with Debise coming out on top having held the advantage when the red flag was shown

P1 | Adrian Huertas | Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP Team
“Our pace at the start of the race was incredible. I tried to open a gap and I opened a big lead. At that point the race should be easy but then I had a problem with my helmet. I solved this but it was quite difficult to do while riding. I recovered a lot of time to Yari and I took the lead again before the red flag. This has been an incredible weekend. I led almost all the sessions and I think this shows the work we are doing as a team.”
