Ricardo Batista achieved third place on the World Championship podium in a race that still precedes the grand final. The Portuguese athlete expressed great satisfaction with this result, stating he was "very happy" to have managed to climb to third position.

This achievement represents an important milestone in the athlete's career, who demonstrated surprise and joy with his performance in the international competition. The third place obtained before the final race places Ricardo Batista in a prominent position among the best in the world in his sport.
