It was Tom Vialle who grabbed the holeshot on his HRC Honda with Jeffrey Herlings getting aggressive with Lucas Coenen at turn two to come out in second.
It didn’t take Herlings long to pass his team mate and then pull away at the front with Febvre passing Vialle to take second.
It was a tough watch for Lucas Coenen who just went backwards and was clearly fighting against the pain – he ended up pulling out of the race.
Tom Vialle finished third holding off the impressive Andrea Adamo. Tim Gajser rounded out the top five.
Herlings is now only one point behind Coenen in the championship standings.
