Ancevski reduces gap
Taking back-to-back wins Milos Ancevski has reduced the gap to Hunsley down to 18 points. Helping him was Hunsley's teammate Kederer, who took 2nd ahead of the Brit.
The start didn't bring that much changes at the front, Engberink dropped down to 6th, Sigoulakis to 9th while Buurlage moved up to 7th. At the back of the field Graham and Costello crashed and had to pit for new wings. Utzer ran into troubles with his brake pedal, forcing him to pit. He had to come in again 2 laps later after spinnig in Raidillon and losing his front wing. Meanwhile teammate Buurlage had gotten past Engberink. Hunsley and Keranen were struggling a bit with higher fuel loads, losing places to Ancevski, Kederer and Buurlage. Keranen's race ended when he crashed out in lap 9. Top 6 before the first stops were Foro, Ancevski, Kederer, Buurlage, Hunsley and Rinneaho.
Hunsley took the lead when the one stoppers pitted and kept it until his stop around the halfway point. Ancevski and Foro had swapped places, the rest of the top 6 remained unchanged. A small mistake in lap 22 cost Foro 3rd, Kederer and Buurlage went past. In the following laps he lost 2 more positions to Rinneaho and Black. Hunsley returned in 4th after his stop, 15 seconds behind race leader Ancevski.
This gap didn't change until the final stops, but thanks to the pit entry cutting busstop and a bit of La Source, it was enough for Ancevski to stay ahead of Hunsley. Kederer was in 3rd, followed by Buurlage, Rinneaho and Black. With only 6 laps to go Buurlage's engine blew up, costing him 4th place. Goddard profited as he was promoted into the points. In the same lap Kederer had passed Hunsley for 2nd. Goddard shouldn't hold on to the point, with 3 laps to go his gearbox failed, allowing Sigoulakis to move up to 6th. Ancevski went on to take the win ahead of the two Jordans. Rinneaho took 4th, Black 5th.
