RACE 1
It was title-decider day in the final ever MotoE season – and it did not disappoint! Fans were treated to two thrilling races at the Portuguese GP, where Alessandro Zaccone (Aruba Cloud MotoE Team) ultimately clinched the electric class crown in Portimao.
Arriving as the Championship leader, the Italian could hardly have asked for a better start, converting pole position into a hard-fought Race 1 victory ahead of Eric Granado (LCR E-Team) and Jacopo Hosciuc (MSI Racing Team). That triumph gave him a commanding 17-point advantage heading into the second lights-out of the day.
RACE 2
With the title within reach, the mission was simple: finish P7 or better. In the end, a composed ride to P4 was enough for Zaccone to seal the deal and secure the crown. Up front, Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team) pushed hard to keep his title hopes alive, but Oscar Gutierrez (MSI Racing Team) snatched victory by just 0.098s as the two pushed each other to the limit.
Nicholas Spinelli (Rivacold Snipers Team MotoE) completed the podium after drama in the group including a Long Lap equivalent time penalty for Matteo Ferrari (Felo Gresini MotoE) for causing a crash, and a crash for Eric Granado (LCR E-Team).
It proved an emotional and electric final day of the MotoE season.
