JD43 Liquimoly rider David Portuga won the GP Light race at MOTO1000GP's GP Paraná in Brazil after a 16-lap fight for the lead. Marcelo Miarelli hit mechanical trouble on the last lap, leaving Eduardo Marques second and Miarelli third.
What grabs me is how Portuga waited through 16 laps of changing leaders, then lifted his pace at the end. Holding back from corner entry to exit and choosing that final move is never easy. With Miarelli's last-lap trouble in the mix, it is a reminder that a race is not over until the flag.

That kind of win—waiting through a close fight and striking late—always stays with you.
Miarelli still got third, so at least the damage was limited.
Losing third gear on the last lap is brutal. That changes the podium.
But the last-lap trouble is part of racing. Portuga did not crack.
Sixteen laps of lead battles is pure heat. Congrats, Portuga.
The JD43 Liquimoly garage was probably talking about this all the way home.
