De Francesco and Ilott on pole for Euro opener final

A pretty solid performance by USA driver Devlin De Francesco saw the driver in force with Morsicani Racing keep the lead at the start and never look back. The fight was behind him, with Mick Junior taking 2nd after a great start, with Enaam Ahmed and Ulysse De Pauw chasing hard. Disaster struck for Juan Correa at the start, as the American dropped to the back of the field after some coming together in the mid group. As Ahmed forced his way on to De Francesco without managing to get close enough to the leader, James Pull made up as many as 7th position, establishing himself in 4th. Super comeback by Logan Sargeant, with the RFM driver moving up from 23rd to 7th just behind Martinez, Ahmed likely left De Pauw through right before the flag to have an inside row start advantage in the final.

In KF, it was all easy for Callum Ilott starting from front row. The young Brit took advantage of Lando Norris' weak start to grab the lead and go flag-to-flag unchallenged. Norris dropped down to 4th, having to work his way past Nielsen first and then Hiltbrand, with the Danish driver falling under the Spaniard, Van Leeuwen and Kari's attacks. Tiene, Mazepin and Lorandi were involved in an early phase collision, with the two Italians having the worst consequences.
