Yari Montella won FIM Supersport World Championship Race One Saturday at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, in Australia. Riding his Barni Spark Racing Team Ducati Panigale V2, the Italian won the 18-lap race by 6.666 seconds.
Montella’s countryman Stefano Manzi was the runner-up on his Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing YZF-R6, just 0.302 second ahead of third-place finisher Marcel Schroetter, who rode a factory MV Agusta F3 800 RR.
Former MotoAmerica Supersport regular Valentin Debise crashed his Evan Bros Yamaha shortly after the mandatory mid-race pit stop and Did Not Finish (DNF).
