Red Bull KTM’s Jorge Prado sat in third in the opening laps, followed by MRT Racing KTM’s Alessandro Lupino and Red Bull KTM’s Antonio Cairoli. Herlings had a huge moment on the waves section pushing to chase down the rest of the pack, as Febvre and Gajser thrash it out between them in the opening laps, before Febvre tags Gajser front wheel almost cleaning him out completely, allowing Jeffrey to close the gap.

Seewer then crashed out of the lead but managed to remount just ahead of Jorge Prado, with the top six now battling all together. Herlings makes the pass on Gajser to move up into fourth, as Febvre makes the pass on Coldenhoff to move up into second place.

Jeremy Seewer shot to race one victory and claimed his first win of the season ahead of Febvre and Herlings.
