The Kawasaki trio behind him fought tooth and nail to unseat him from his podium position, but Solis Jr. showed his composure all the way until the checkered flag as he clinched his third podium on the bounce, proving his prowess in wet weather conditions in the process. The Team H35 Honda rider found himself pitted against the same contenders in the second race, battling throughout the early laps with Richardson yet again. The two of them swapped places once or twice, but Solis Jr. was able to secure fourth position as the top three began to disappear into the distance. He held his position comfortably in third place for a couple of laps, but it wasn’t long until he was joined by the newly formed TSE Racing Yamaha of Brandon Paasch. The two of them renewed their rivalry yet again and dueled it out for fourth place, turning equally fast lap times
as they rode a lonely race in fourth and fifth position. Solis Jr. commanded fourth position for the majority of the race, but Paasch found his way past on the eight lap as he attempted to steal the spot away from the Californian. He fought back almost immediately and held the advantage until the checkered flag, eventually crossing the finish line just under one second ahead of Paasch to claim fourth position.
