The first race of the World Supersport 300 Championship in Most was a nail-biter until the very end. Loris Veneman managed to convert his pole position into a win, but the competition remained fierce throughout, with the top six finishing separated by less than half a second.
WSSP300 races are known for their excitement and unpredictability, and this one was no exception, with a large group of riders battling for the lead and frequent changes in leadership.
The rider who led for the longest time was Iñigo Iglesias Bravo (Fusport-RT Motorsports by SKM-Kawasaki), who fought early on with Veneman (MTM Kawasaki), the pole sitter who led the initial laps.
Other riders also took turns at the front, including Matteo Vannucci (Pata Yamaha AG Motorsport Italia), who was forced to retire with a problem on his bike nine laps from the end.
The race was ultimately decided on the last lap. Veneman made a remarkable overtake in the final sector to move from third to first, securing the victory by a mere 0.075s ahead of Marc García (KOVE Racing Team).
Completing the podium was Carter Thompson (Fusport-RT Motorsport by SKM-Kawasaki), who set a new race lap record (1m45.666s), followed by Mirko Gennai (MTM Kawasaki). Bravo finished fifth but remains the leader in the championship standings.
