Debise’s objective was to prove Saturday’s win was no fluke, and he did so by managing a razor-thin lead over a charging pack.
He crossed the line just 0.720 seconds ahead of his nearest rival, securing the first-ever "double" for the ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing team and cementing the Chinese manufacturer as a premier-class powerhouse. The race for the podium was a spectacular display of technical skill.
Jaume Masia produced a masterclass in overtaking, carving through from the second row to secure second place on his Ducati. He finished just ahead of Albert Arenas, who grabbed the final podium spot by a mere 21 milliseconds over Lucas Mahias.
The battle for fourth was equally intense, with Mahias edging out his teammate Roberto García at the line. Further back, Philipp Oettl took sixth, while Can Öncü recovered from his Saturday misfortune to finish eighth.
Despite Debise's dominance in Portugal, Masia's consistent podium finishes allowed him to leave Portimão with a 6-point lead over Arenas in the championship standings.
