In the time training, Herlings is the fastest man, the KTM rider is more than two seconds faster than Arminas Jasikonis. The sprint to the first corner is also won by the 26-year-old Brabander ahead of Nagl, Bogers, Cyril Genot and Rene de Jong. In the initial phase of the race, Bogers takes over second place, but the Standing Construct rider chooses his own pace. Herlings wins well ahead of Bogers and Genot crosses the finish line in third place. The German managed to hold on to third place for the first half of the race, but then the Belgian passed by. The 33-year-old Nagl crosses the finish line fourth ahead of Nathan Watson. Micha Boy de Waal seems to complete the top five for a long time, the Brit is stronger in the final phase.

When the starting gate falls for the last time this Father's Day, Bogers will be the best starter. Herlings follows ahead of Nagl and Jasikonis. However, the Lithuanian makes a mistake, causing him to fall back and later disappear from the match. Bogers is able to hold the lead for almost ten minutes, but then Herlings passes by to take control of the match. Bogers comes second again this time ahead of Nagl. Genot narrowly started out in the top ten. The Sarholz rider can quickly move up to fourth place, but Nagl is already out of the picture. Tom Koch completes the top five this round. Micha Boy de Waal crashes in the first corner, the BT Racing rider returns to seventh place!
