Race One
Marc Reiner Schmidt was not perfect at the start and was overtaken in the first corner by Lukas Hollbacher, who pulled away from third place. Ther German took the lead of the race in the first lap and one fast lap after the other opened a gap so he could rule the second part of the race. Behind him, Bonnal and Hollbacher were the protagonists of a tough duel. It took some laps before the French could overtake his rival, and then with an empty track Steve stretched away and it seemed he could have reached Schmidt, but unfortunately the TM Moto rider slipped and lost one spot. The rider worked his way up once again and prevailed over Hollbacher ending up in second. In the Rookie Gabin Pernat clinched the victory.
