Davey Todd (GBR / WEPOL Racing) followed in second place, ahead of his team-mate Marek Červený (CZE) in third place. Didier Grams (GER / G & G Motorsport by BMW Motorrad) rounded off the top-four lockout in race one. The second race was red flagged after three laps after a rider fell, and, due to a combination of factors including bad weather, was not restarted since there were delays in the schedule. This time it was Todd who won, Kostamo finished second and Grams third. Todd leads the championship standings.
