Provisional leader of the Mini class on Saturday, Dmitry Matveev (Energy Corse/TM) confirmed his ambitions by winning Sunday’s Prefinal in front of Kean Nakamura Berta (KR/IAME) and Christian Costoya (CRG/TM).

From pole position, Matveev took the best start in the afternoon Final and built a gap big enough not to be caught again until the chequered flag. The 10-lap race delivered a thrilling battle for the last two podium places between Nakamura Berta, Costoya and Adam Hideg (KR/IAME), soon joined by a charging Mark Kastelic (KR/TM).

The tussle came to a conclusion on the penultimate lap when Nakamura Berta went around the inside of Kastelic and secured second place in front of his team-mate. Hideg crossed the finish line in fourth, followed by Maciej Gladysz (Parolin/TM), Denis Curavale (KR/IAME) and Luna Fluxa (KR/IAME).

Costoya lost some ground halfway through the race and finished in eighth position while Lenn Nijs (KR/TM) and Louis Leveau (Parolin/TM) completed the Top-Ten.
