The MC KENAKA organization hosted championship matches in each class. The extremely fast course ensured lap times were under 1 minute 30 seconds.
First run: European champion Cedric Grobben took the first obstacles like a rocket, followed by Brent Aerden, Kenny Janssens, Nolan Cordens, and Enzo Aerden. Cordens immediately moved up to third place. Brent Aerden continued to pressure leader Grobben. The difference was only four seconds. A rare mistake by Grobben allowed Brent Aerden's attacking spirit to pay off. Grobben let things slide in the closing stages, and Cordens fought back strongly. Kenny Janssens stayed in fourth place, and Glenn Bielen had to give his all to deny Enzo Aerden a place.
In the 250cc class, there was a duel between title contenders Kevin Schellens and Dieter Vromans. Schellens held Vromans at bay for a long time. In the final stages, Vromans finally gained the upper hand, winning ahead of Schellens and Bart Janssens. The B class also saw a battle between Chiel Vanhaeren and Jamie Haanen. Haanen emerged victorious from Vanhaeren and Alexander Verbeeck.
Heat 2: The start of heat 2 was disastrous for Brent Aerden, who only managed to get off the line in sixth place. Kenny "Decallab" Janssens secured the holeshot ahead of Grobben, Cordens, and Haanen. Brent Aerden didn't resign himself to his missed start. He quickly moved up to third place. And there, Cordens continued to fight back against Aerden. Meanwhile, Grobben had moved into the lead, and Janssens also had to let the fighting Cordens and Aerden go. Then things got exciting: after two-thirds of the race, the top three were within five seconds.
Cordens missed a small gap, and Aerden didn't miss the opportunity. Brent immediately followed Grobben and took the lead after a block pass. Grobben struggled, but Aerden held on. Cordens remained in third place ahead of Kenny Janssens and Glenn Bielen. Bielen had already passed on the first lap, but still managed to move up to fifth place.
Schellens now outpaced Dieter Vromans in the MX2 class. The standings remained unchanged in Kevin Schellens' favor. Bart Janssens finished third. In the B class, Haanen benefited from a blistering start. He stayed ahead of Vanhaeren and Belmans.
