The QJMotor R.O.M.E.A rider used the record pace he had shown in qualifying, earning pole, to build a lead -which led to a stretched out top five over the early part of the race.

Having saved tyre sat in behind, Daniel Holgado decided it was time to make a move, closing the gap and being sat right on the rear of his fellow Kalex rider on he final lap.

Ortola closed off the first overtaking opportunity at Omega and then shut the door again, leaving it all to the final corner.

The Aspar rider tried a pass, but went wide, leaving Ortola to win by 0.614s at the chequered flag for his second win of the season, after also taking victory in Brno.

A fall in the lead group from Assen winner David Alonso splintered the front riders further, leaving Izan Guevara a secure third, the top Boscoscuro rider for Blu Cru Pramac Yamaha, completing an all Spanish podium.

Senna Agius gave home team Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP their best result in fourth - but only just - under attack at the line to just hold off a charging Taiyo Furusato.

The Idemitsu Honda Team Asia rookie had impressed in qualifying running behind Ortola to learn the track and start seventh, earning his best finish in fifth having already passed championship leader Manuel Gonzalez on the penultimate lap.

Gonzalez then had attention from Filip Salac, also on a late push, bringing home the second Dynavolt bike just ahead at the finish line for sixth, with the American Racing rider a close seventh from 15th on the grid.

It was a good day all round for the rookies, with Jose Antonio Rueda finishing eighth as the best of the Red Bull KTM Ajo duo, with team-mate Collin Veijer ninth.

Luca Lunetta was a second further back, completing the top ten for SpeedRS.
