Race two again saw the Oakley Racing rider get a good start to put himself fourth overall in the first few laps and although the faster Moto 3 bike got away Oakley remained determined and ultimately claimed second spot to continue to lead the championship.

Oakley said: “Thank you to everyone again who came to watch us and thanks to our sponsors for the help and support.”
