Brabec’s Monster Energy Honda teammates, Jose Ingacio Cornejo and Kevin Benavides followed close behind in the stage rankings, with Red Bull KTM duo, Matthias Walkner and Australian Toby Price, rounding out the top-five.
Price has struggled following his Stage 1 victory but has moved up into sixth place overall behind Cornejo, Joan Barreda Bort (Honda), Walkner, Benavides and Brabec.
