WSK Super Master – OK-Junior Final: Smal snatches the win

Kirill Smal (Tony Kart / Vortex) was leading the OK-Junior Final at the WSK Super Master Series in Adria. Gabriele Mini (Parolin / TM) was struggling to find his place and it was Taylor Barnard (KR / Parilla) who was in 2nd place ahead of Gabriel Bortoleto (CRG / TM). An accident, without serious consequences, notably eliminated Marcus Amand (KR / Parilla) and Conrad Laursen (FA Kart / Vortex). Barnard attacked Smal, but Smal responded while Mini accelerated the pace. The Italian settled in 1st place shortly after halfway, with Paul Aron (FA Kart / Vortex) returning to 4th position. Luca Bosco (Tony Kart / TM) was in 7th place, Hadrien David (Kosmic / Vortex) had a good race not far from the top 10. Evann Mallet (Kosmic / Parilla) made a big comeback from 34th to 17th position, but then lost places. Victor Bernier (Kosmic / Parilla) was 17th before dropping down a bit, Loris Cabirou (Energy / TM) was 24th. Smal threatened Mini in the last laps. He forced a pass a few corners from the finish to cross the line in front of Barnard. Mini narrowly finished 3rd ahead of Aron, Bortoleto and Zak O’Sullivan (FA Kart / Vortex). Bosco finished 7th, David 11th, Bernier 20th, Mallet 21st and Cabirou 23rd.

After Barnard’s penalty, Mini was on the second step of the podium and Aron on the third.
