Ken Roczen was back behind the starting gate and the German finished fourth ahead of the strong rider Weston Peick. Not the best match for it So Tomac, the Kawasaki rider crashed as leader after seven laps and did not finish!
In the final Tomac gets the best start ahead of Barcia and Jeremy Martin! Behind Anderson, Musquin starts the final over 20 minutes and one lap in seventh place. Roczen doesn't have the best start and he comes out of the first round just outside the top ten. Martin quickly drops back and Peick takes over third place, immediately followed by Musquin who takes over third place from Peick after almost four minutes of the race. After leading all alone for eight laps, Tomac makes a mistake! The Kawasaki rider crashes and Barcia is able to take the lead.
