David Alonso claims his 12th race win of the season at Buriram, emerging from a five-way battle with a chaotic end. Heavy rain earlier forced race control to declare a wet race, shortening it from 19 to 12 laps.

Alonso, starting fifth, quickly joined the leaders and took charge by lap four. The Colombian held a 0.353-second lead to the line clinching the constructors’ title for CFMoto Gaviota Aspar.

Ivan Ortola in the last corner of the race, ran wide, allowing Luca Lunetta to seize second. The Italian secured his best result of the season and keeps his ‘Rookie of the Year’ hopes alive.

Leopard’s Angel Piqueras crashed in an incident with his teammate Adrian Fernandez, clearing the way for Collin Veijer to take third despite clipping Taiyo Furusato in the final meters.

The Japanese fell on the final straight and slid across the line. Ortola regrouped to secure fourth, with Furusato reinstated in fifth after crossing the line mid-fall. BOE’s David Munoz followed in sixth, with pole-sitter Joel Kelso settling for seventh after struggling to maintain pace. Scott Ogden, Stefano Nepa, and Tatsuki Suzuki rounded out the top ten.
