Kane commented that she was delighted with the win, adding that the team made some changes to the bike before the event that allowed her to push harder for the result.
"The competition is obviously much fiercer than at home, but it gives me the challenge I need to progress," she stated.
In the second race, Kane just missed out on a podium, finishing in fourth place. She took fourth place overall for the day.
Team manager Mark Chamberlain commented that the rider's performance was "stunning".
"A podium is exactly what she deserves and gives us something to build on for the remaining rounds of the championship," he added.
