The French teenager swept through turn one seventh but was quickly up to fourth at the completion of the first full lap as all of the series top-guns distanced the pack. A clever line-choice on lap four saw him sweep around his closest championship rival for third and he immediately sprinted clear with his sights set on second. A simple error accelerating out of a slippery turn cost him two positions on lap six and he was content to retain fifth to the chequered flag after a cloud-burst demanded caution. He continues to head the series points-standings by fifteen points.
 
Mathis Valin: “It was not an easy day, but overall not so bad! I showed good speed in the timed practice, but my start was not so good as I slid on the metal plate and had to pull in the clutch. I made some quick moves to be fourth after a few corners and then I passed Valk, who is one of the strongest guy in the class, for third so that was positive; but then I made a small mistake and crashed. I was fifth when I got up but the crash cost me my rhythm so I was content to keep this position until the end and save good points for the championship. »
 
Benjamin Garib joined his Bud teammate in the top-ten off the start to finish ninth, thus equalling his best result of the season to date.
 
Benjamin Garib: "My starts have been costing me this year so we've been working on that and I finally got a top-ten start again today. I rode a solid race - no crashes - and I maintained my pace to stay on two wheels when the rain came to finish ninth. Everything was positive, and I enjoyed it, so we can keep on building from here."
