Despite the World Cup in Tabor there were still about 30 riders taken the start in a warm 22 degrees celcius. Aernouts took the hole shot and created a nice gap. Mitchell Huenders and Sascha Weber did a lot of work in the chasing group to catch up with Aernouts but didn't succeed. They even dropped far back as they paid for their efforts. Halfway the race Denuwelaere bridged up to Aernouts and the two stayed together until the far end.
