With two laps to go, the leading group was again compact and everything was left for the last lap.

Blevins and Dascalu fought it out in the sprint race with victory for the World Champion of the modality, the American Cris Blevins. Italian Luca Braidot closed the podium ahead of Sebastian Fini.

The Spanish rider David Valero came in tenth after a mid-race crash with no consequences.
