Jorge Martín won the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup for 2014 with a masterful fourth while arch rival and fellow Spaniard Joan Mir won the thrilling 15-lap race.

With seven teenagers in the battle for victory, Martín might have taken it easy and picked up the few points he needed but the 16-year-old only gave up on the race win in the final third of a lap as 17-year-old Mir locked horns with Stefano Manzi and Fabio Di Giannantonio ahead of him.

“I should have just been thinking about the championship,” admitted Martín. “But of course I wanted to win and right to the end I was going to try it but the other guys were very fast today. On that last lap there just wasn’t the chance to do it without taking a big risk. So now I am champion and I can just enjoy going for the win tomorrow.”

Australian Olly Simpson got the better of a three-way battle for ninth, currently 11th in the standings with one round remaining.

Manzi, the 15-year-old Italian took his ninth podium of the year, flashing across the line just 0.011 seconds behind Mir and 0.097 ahead of fellow countryman Di Giannantonio.
This final Rookies Cup race of the year will take place on Sunday at 3:30pm CET.
