Although the rain has almost stopped falling for the 2nd race of the European Talent Cup, the conditions are far from good, with a very cloudy sky, a track that is still wet but whose trajectories are starting to dry, and temperatures 15° in the air and 16° on the ground.
We will not fail to be interested in this race of young talents which had seen some very spectacular actions this morning, in particular between the winner Ivan Ortola (Sama Global Angel Nieto Team) and Fenton Harrison Seabright (Wilsons), as well as, unfortunately, the disappointment of Clement Rougé (French team – GP sector) after a splendid comeback.
The starting grid is the same as for race 1, i.e. a first grid composed of Jose Antonio Rueda (Talent Team Estrella Galicia 0,0), this time well placed on the grid, Fenton Harrison Seabright (Wilsons) a little bruised and Izan Guevara (Cuna de Campeones).
When the red lights go out, the pole man maintains his advantage ahead of his teammate Diogo Moreira (Talent Team Estrella Galicia 0,0), David Alonso (Sama Global Angel Nieto Team) and Ivan Ortola (Sama Global Angel Nieto Team), the winner of the first race.
From the first passage through the parabolic, David Alonso (Sama Global Angel Nieto Team) takes command and tries to widen the gap on a group made up of 8 drivers made up of Diogo Moreira Nascimento (Talent Team Estrella Galicia 0,0), Ivan Ortola (Sama Global Angel Nieto Team), Alex Millan Gomez (Aro Racing), Jose Antonio Rueda (Talent Team Estrella Galicia 0,0), Marcos Ruda Comino (Cuna de Campeones), Juan Rodríguez Hernandez (Cuna de Campeones), Michal Bulik (Igax Team) and Syarifuddin Azman (Dynavolt Intact SIC Junior Team).
In these conditions, we go back and forth, making any prognosis and even any description impossible.
French side, Clement Rougé (French team – GP sector) was quickly forced to retire after 5 laps while Vincent Falcone (TFC Racing) appears 12th after qualifying 28th.
At the halfway point, we find the winner of the first race in the lead, Ivan Ortola (Sama Global Angel Nieto Team), who tries to escape but is quickly countered by Alex Millan Gomez (Aro Racing) and Marcos Ruda Comino (Cuna de Campeones) who bring back the peloton: it seems that we will have to wait until the last lap to have the composition of the podium...
This is tackled in the lead by the 2 drivers of the Ángel Nieto team, ortola before Alonso. The latter passes his teammate in the winding and approaches the parabolic in the lead, but ortola takes up the aspiration and crosses the line at the head by a hair.
This is the 2nd victory of the day for the young Spanish driver qualified 6th, who obviously takes the lead in the championship.
Very nice 5th place also from our representative Vincent Falcone (TFC Racing) who started from 31st position and finished at the head of the peloton, less than 2 seconds behind the winner. he is now 6th in the championship!
