as he pulled yet another holeshot and checked out at the front of the pack. This time around, he was able to put a sizeable gap into Walther as he set the fastest lap of the moto on the third time around the track. Walther held onto second position as he clocked incredibly consistent lap times in

Reyes Jr. got off to a decent start behind his Husqvarna teammate of Jack Walker, passing him for the final podium spot on the second lap; he pulled away corner by corner for the next couple laps and eventually rode to a comfortable 3rd place to wrap up the overall podium finish.
