Stefano Manzi climbed through the field but then ran off track and fell back to eighth place.
Oncu set a 1'36.028 on lap three but a lap later Federico Caricasulo set a 1'35.906 as he closed up on second-placed Tuuli. The battle for fifth was a second further back led by Raffaele De Rosa. Tuuli took a decent line through turns eight and nine to take second place into turn ten.Ĭan Oncu set the fastest lap on lap two, a 1'36.851, and led by a second as Tuuli held off Spinelli and Caricasulo behind. Oncu then passed Caricasulo to take and hold the lead almost a second ahead of Caricasulo, Niki Tuuli and Nicholas Spinelli's battle for second. Nicolo Bulega led into the first turn but was hustled aside by Federico Caricasulo and Can Oncu. Riders had to judge what the weather would do over the eighteen laps and pick their tyres accordingly. Indonesia did what Indonesia does and the wind brought the rain fifteen minutes before the World Supersport race.
