Joy for Van der Mark as Metcher moves ahead
A thrilling 12-lap race saw Jed Metcher (MTM-RT Motorsports Yamaha) move further ahead in the championship battle by taking second place behind race winner Michael Van der Mark (Ten Kate Junior).
This was the Dutch Honda rider's third win of the year and puts him third overall in the championship rankings, 25 points behind Metcher but with a better win ratio, which may be crucial at the final round in Portugal.
One-time race leader and pole man Joshua Day (Revolution Racedays Kawasaki) was third in the race and is now 19 points behind Metcher in the table, with one race remaining. Tony Covena (Nito Racing Yamaha) was fourth today, eight seconds back, with Robin Mulhauser (RRT Racing Yamaha) fifth.
