Sixteen year old Morgan Jernfast gave his seven rivals a lesson in dynamic driving as his Team Nautica outfit won by a country mile. Depite chasing the runaway Swede to the first turn, runner-up Mike Szimura of Team Atlantic soon started falling behind while third place Bingchen Wu of Team China never made up the margin between himself and Szimura.

Qatar's Khalid Al Kuwairi dropped out early on and Team Azerbajan's Nicklas Friberg retired after clawing his way up to 4th place. A close and facinating battle unfolded at the rear of the pack as Jan Andre Landsnes in the Singha Beer rig tried to catch 5th place Maicol Chiossi in Mad Croc but the chequered flag was waved before Landsnes could pass.

The chequered flag couldn't arrive soon enough for Mohammed Al Menhairbi in Team Abu Dhabi who was lapped by everyone.
