---

The FIM CEV Respol rolled into Autodromo Internacional do Algarve and was greeted by perfect conditions, with close racing and fierce action. Fresh from his maiden pole position, Joel Kelso (AGR Team) clinched his first FIM Moto3 Junior World Championship win in one of the closest finishes ever in the Moto3 class.

Fermin Aldeguer (Boscoscuro Talent Team-Ciatti) extended his unbeaten run in the Moto2 European Championship with a supreme double victory, while Xabi Zurutuza (Cuna de Campeones) took his second win in a row to take control of the Hawkers European Talent Cup.

FIM Moto3 JWC

The FIM Moto3 JWC race was shortened to a 10 lap sprint after a crash involving Harrison Voight (SIC58 Squadra Corse) brought out the red flags.

The Australian suffered trauma in both legs but was confirmed to be conscious following the incident. The restart came down a final lap duel with Joel Kelso recovering from an error at Turn 4 to snatch victory from Daniel Holgado (Aspar Junior Team) by just 0.005 seconds.

Marcos Uriarte (Laglisse Academy) opened his account for the season in style, claiming his first podium in third, and the day’s results have seen Holgado extend his championship lead over Ivan Ortola (Team MTA) who fell to 12th after a late mistake.

Australian Senna Aguis finished 19th, while Harrison Voight obviously missed the restarted race.

Holgado now leads the standings on 133-points, with Ivan Ortola and David Munoz on 64. Joel Kelso is 11th on 38-points, with Voight 28th on four points and Agius 29th on one.
