Cairoli now leads the standings by 67 points from Desalle, who was second in both motos, despite leading race 2 before being hauled in by his rival.
Ramon’s third overall came after a fourth place finish in race 1 and a podium in moto 2, while CAS Honda’s Evgeny Bobryshev (5/4) was fourth.
Yamaha Monster Energy’s David Philippaerts was fifth, the Italian struggling home in eighth after a crash in moto 2, having finished third in the opening race. Max Nagl (6/6), Xavier Boog (9/5) and Kevin Strijbos (8/7) completed the top eight.
