GWell begun is half done. On the 3rd lap, world champion Kay De Wolf (Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing) outmaneuvered fast starter Andrea Adamo. For World Championship leader Simon Längenfelder the first heat was a fast one as he only finished 6th.

Things went wrong for Längenfelder from the very start. The German ran off the track at the start, dropping him to 12th place. At the front, De Wolf dominated, and Adamo was happy to be able to keep up. Yamaha leader Thibault Benistant recorded a strong third place and seemed to threaten Adamo in the closing stages.

The race's comeback came courtesy of Sacha Coenen (pictured above). Coenen was only 13th after the first lap, yet he still managed to finish an impressive 4th, ahead of Triumph stalwart Camden McLellan. Rick Elzinga and Cas Valk finished 10th and 11th, respectively. The second race will start at 15:10 PM.
