Great start for Seewer, followed by Prado, winner of the qualifying heat, and Herlings. The leadership changes after a few corners: Jorge takes the lead and seems capable of repeating the winning escape shown on Saturday. On the contrary, in the early stages, Herlings was the rider most in difficulty: the Dutchman on Ktm was slipped by Febvre, who then set out to hunt Seewer. The Swiss, however, resisted and, after a few passes, attacked Prado, overtaking him with a great maneuver on the outside. Romain tries to imitate him, but Jorge defends himself admirably. The positions remain crystallized until eight minutes from the end, when Herlings’ comeback begins: Jeffrey comes back and passes Febvre and shortly after invents a sensational overtaking also on Prado. It is not enough to reassemble Seewer too, now very far away. On the contrary, in the final stages the Dutchman on Ktm has to defend himself against the return of Febvre, good at overtaking Prado in crisis. Bad lucky Albert Forato, who crashed while fighting for fifth position with Ruben Fernandez. Behind the Spaniard on Honda is Guadagnini, author of a very solid race.

Cadet category leader Jago Geerts was absent due to injury. After the start, Roan Van de Moosdijk moves in front of everyone. The Dutchman on Husqvarna commands in the early stages, but can’t escape, especially in the face of the frenetic pace of the landlord Benistant. The Frenchman from Yamaha changes pace and passes first Kay De Wolf, winner of the qualifying heat, and then just Van de Moosdijk. Race 1 turns out to be a nightmare for Husqvarna, which sees its standard bearers also lose their positions on the podium to the advantage of the KTMs of Liam Everts and Andrea Adamo. For the Italian, third place is an important placement from a world championship point of view. Fourth De Wolf, ahead of Van de Moosdijk.
