The 45 min final was also a very close and good battle, a early mistake by myself (Antonio) let the whole field go by. With about 15 minutes remaining, I managed it catch up to the leader Jacque, we exchanged the lead a couple of times but in the end we both did 147 laps and I was 6 seconds behind.
Final result was:
