Bonduel escaped with Besler fourth. Brazilian Matheus Lesit (LH) made a good start with seventh place after gaining 16 places behind Luis Glania (Praga).

Julien Andlauer (OK1), after a difficult start, was back in eighth place with excellent speed. Raspatelli closed the gap with Bonduel, while Besler took third position ahead of Bollier.
