The usual Ten Kate duo out in front but a huge battle unfolded for third with Charpentier, Parkes, Chambon, Foret and Riba all in the hunt.

That was until Foret was forced to retire.  A few laps later Parkes seemed to slow a little before ending up in the kitty litter.

Muggeridge took a great win, Vermeulen 2nd and Van Der Goorbergh came from the rear of that tightly bunched pack which had been tussling all race to score the final podium position.
