Wet, slippery conditions could not prevent Jorge Martin putting in a champion’s performance in the final race of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup season.

The 16-year-old Spaniard had to work for it, eventually chasing down fast starting fellow countryman Marc Garcia after 10 of the 15 laps.

Garcia took a fine second to complete his 100 percent finish record in his first Cup season, comfortably ahead of Brad Ray, the 17-year-old Briton who had to make up for a poor start from the front row.

When the lights went out Garcia charged through from row three at such a pace that he quickly caught and passed Saturday’s winner Joan Mir who had jumped from the second row into an initial lead. Mir gave chase but slid off as Garcia went quicker and quicker.

“It was the perfect end for the year for me, coming here I really wanted to take the Cup yesterday so that I could concentrate on winning today and that is what happened,” Martin said. “You really want to end the season on the top of the podium.”

“For me though my best win was in Mugello, to win that one so convincingly I think said something to the Moto3 teams and of course that is where I hope to be next year. But all of the wins have been great and I have loved being in the Rookies Cup,” concluded Martín who has become a true master of the Moto3 spec KTM.

A fine fourth went to Corentin Perolari, the 16-year-old Frenchman who had by far his best ride of the year, while Toprak Razgatlıoğlu took fifth.

Australia’s Olly Simpson was a non-finisher, ending his season 11th overall in the standings.
