Danish dominates Race 1 ahead of hard-fought rostrum fight

There was drama elsewhere as Gun Mie, the only previous podium finisher at the venue in the field, crashed out early, with that leaving Amon Odaki, Thompson, Fadillah and Ezawa to fight it out for two places on the rostrum. But Odaki also slid out of contention, with Thompson’s highside on the final lap ensuring the fight for second became a duel by the flag.
