Adrián Huertas goes straight for the title of Supersport 300 world champion. The Spanish rider has shown himself in Assen dominating the race of the small category of the world series derived motorcycles and he already has more than one race ahead. They are 32 points over Tom Booth-Amos and 52 over Samuel Di Sora.

The podium was completed by two local drivers, the reigning world champion, Jeffrey Buis, and Koen Meuffels. Ana Carrasco has suffered an ugly fall with another pilot which fortunately has been settled without physical damage to her, but it seems that it definitely says goodbye to being world champion for the second time.

Huertas already has more than a career advantage after the fall of Booth-Amos

At the start Victor Steeman managed to maintain the first position ahead of Adrián Huertas and Jeffrey Buis. Behind there was a multiple crash in which three pilots were involved, although the race was able to continue normally. When starting the second turn Víctor Rodríguez, who was in the front group, fell.

The first few laps were being catastrophic, with many incidents and crashes common in the Supersport 300 class. And it seemed that Unai Orradre, who was in the front group, had skipped the start, which was going to make him lose practically all his podium options.

Shortly after there was quite a dangerous fall with Ana Carrasco involved. Fortunately, the Spanish Kawasaki was fine, because the shock was very important after a touch with Gabriele Mastroluca. Tom Booth-Amos took the lead ahead of Buis, Huertas and Steeman, ready for a great battle.

The comeback he was making is tremendous Yuta Okaya, who leaving from the pit lane was already rolling eighth and he was in the group fighting for victory. In fact he climbed to fourth position, but in a mistake a few laps from the end he ended up on the ground. A shame, because he was having a dream career.

In the last chicane Íñigo Iglesias went straight and took Meikon Kawakami ahead. It was being an elimination race. The last lap started with Buis in the lead, but Huertas hooked on his wheel. Behind, Booth-Amos was going to the ground, a lethal blow for the championship.

Victory for Huertas, who won the final match against Buis, while Bahattin Sofuoglu finished in third position but lost it due to a penalty. The Turk had gone off-piste on the last lap, so Meuffels took the podium at home. Big loot for Huertas, who has more than one race to go.
