Wienen had a similar start in both motos, coming out of the first turn in fifth both times. He had his work cut out for him working his way towards the front of the field.

In moto 1, Wienen wasn’t able to make any moves on the field until after halfway through the race. With tight racing throughout every lap, Wienen was able to maneuver his way into third with a few laps left in the first moto. Pushing foward with only a few laps to go, Wienen hunted down the rider in second and with only a few turns left, made the pass into second as the checkers flew.
