Izan Guevara (Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team) pulled a genius rabbit out the hat to take his first win of the year in Jerez, heading round the outside of the final corner to outfox the rest. Tracks like Le Mans are a good place to prove the step forward. For Jaume Masia (Red Bull KTM Ajo), who’s now on quite a podium run, it’s another chance to prove his consistency too, with the veteran having taken a rostrum at Jerez for the first time to secure another top finish. He’s the only rider in the field to have won at the track from pole. It’s now 21 points of advantage for Garcia at the top, and that’s only to Foggia. The Spaniard placed on the podium in Jerez despite having two screws inserted into his wrist just days prior.
