The Dutchman showed front-running pace from the outset and backed it up in qualifying with second position behind Jeffrey Herlings, while also posting the fastest lap of the race with a stunning 1:38.825 - the only rider to break into the 1:38 bracket.

“It was a really demanding weekend physically because the track became super rough and the heat made it even tougher every lap. I felt good with the bike all weekend and the speed was there, especially in qualifying, so that’s positive. The holeshot in race two was nice, but overall I just wanted a little bit more from the motos. Still, we stayed consistent, scored solid points and we keep building.”

De Wolf carried that speed into Sunday with a controlled fourth-place finish in race one, managing pressure and maintaining consistency as the track conditions worsened.Moto two delivered even more drama. After an early red flag and restart, De Wolf launched to the holeshot and immediately established himself at the front of the field. He battled inside the leading group through the opening stages before digging deep in the closing laps to secure fifth and fourth overall in the Grand Prix classification.
