MX2 Moto 1

Jorge Prado got the holeshot in the moto ahead of Henry Jacobi. Jacobi was passed for second early on in the race by Michele Cervellin. Jacobi would battle back and pass the Italian rider back shortly after. Thomas Kjer Olsen would also make his way past Cervellin for third a couple of laps later. Cervellin then had a bad get off and would have to retire from the race. Late in the race Olsen would pass Jacobi for second before Jacobi went down trying to continue the battle. Jacobi would finish in 7th due to the fall. Jorge Prado would go on to win the race, ahead of Thomas Kjer Olsen, Jago Geerts, Mitchell Evans, and Mathys Boisrame.

Antonio Cairoli grabbed the holeshot ahead of Tim Gajser and Arnaud Tonus. Gautier Paulin also ran up front on the opening lap before going down in a corner, losing multiple positions. He would finish 15th in the moto. Tim Gajser made the pass for the lead just past halfway in the race after a mistake from Cairoli. Cairoli tried to battle back multiple times at the end of the race but was unable to get by the Honda rider. Gajser took the win ahead of Cairoli, Tonus, Jeremy Seewer, and Julien Lieber.

Thomas Kjer Olsen had a poor start and had to work his way through the field, eventually finishing in fourth. Prado battled back to pass Evans for the lead and he would pull away from the Australian rider almost immediately. Henry Jacobi was able to catch Evans as well and made the pass for second late in the race. Prado would go on to win the race and take over the points lead in the class.
