On the restart it was Meyer leading over Thiel and Vandervere. The 17b of Balog had worked his way through the field and was now in the 4th position as the race went back green. On the restart Meyer climbed the back stretch wall, after initially continuing, the 85m machine would come to a stop setting up a green white checkered finish. On the restart, Vandervere had a chance at Thiel, but couldn't complete the pass and Thiel would go on to claim his 1st victory of the season. Vandervere and Balog rounded out the podium.
