With three laps to go Smith and Granado were locked together, the pairing nearly four seconds clear of Garzo in third. Smith was doing all he could to try and claim the MotoE™ title, but Ferrari was also doing enough – the Italian sitting P5, that position handing him the crown by six points. Without a win this season, Smith was determined as ever to grab 25-points and heading onto the last lap it was Smith vs Granado for the win. Down the back straight, Granado was clinging onto Smith’s coattails and made a move stick at Turn 8. Smith then immediately bit back at Turn 11, making a daring pass up the inside. On the exit though, Granado bullied his way back to P1. Last corner time, was Smith going to try snatch victory? Of course. The One Energy Racing man lunged underneath Granado but he was wide, allowing Granado to get the switchback and claim a double Valencia victory.
