After taking the holeshot, Dutch up-and-comer Thijs van den Bogaard held on to second place, while Denmark’s Willads Gordon chased down Spain’s Ivan Vidal to steal the final podium spot in the closing stages of the race.
Nael Lehmann of Switzerland finished fifth ahead of Austria’s Maurice Heidegger with Slovenian Leo Gasjer, Danish Lucas Taylor, Finnish Miska Laine and Dutch Brett Kastelijn completing the top ten.
British racer Connor Thompson was just outside the top 10 in 11th.
