The points lead by Febvre over Coenen is now 32 points. Febvre went 3-1 for the win, with Lucas Coenen second with 2-3 and third was Glenn Coldenhoff with 1-5 scores.

Championship points are Romain Febvre 584pts, Lucas Coenen 552pts, Glenn Coldenhoff 411pts, Ruben Fernandez 383pts and Maxime Renaux 347pts.

Romain Febvre: As I said yesterday, I was feeling good on the track and the first moto I didn't get the start and the guys at front pulled away. I caught them but couldn't follow the pace after that. The second I took the holeshot and happy to win the race and the GP. I could ride free, take my own lines and make a gap. Fernandez came back at the end.

Lucas Coenen: I mean, I felt bad all weekend. Struggled big time and still today I didnt have the flow. I need to get used to the power. First moto I took the holeshot and then slipped over and the second moto Romain pushed me wide in the first corner, but I am happy to come out healthy.

Glenn Coldenhoff: The whole weekends was great. I felt good on the bike and I kept fighting and I didn't expect to be on the podium, I thought I had to pass Jeffrey to get on the podium. The mother of my best friend passed away last night and I want to give it up. She meant a lot to my fan club, but this is difficult news.
