Moto 1 was action packed, with Hayden Deegan crashing while leading, putting the Levi KTM in the lead, but Vialet, Deegan and a chasing Shimoda were never far behind. Shimoda passed Deegan and Vialet to get close to Kitchen's rear wheel, before being caught by Vialet and Deegan at the end to ultimately finish 4th.

Moto two was wild. After a lightning delay, Hayden Deegan and Chance Hymas made contact coming out of turn one for the lead, causing Hymas' foot to get caught in the front wheel, causing Deegan to fall.

Hymas, who was in the lead, did not fall but retired due to injury, leaving Casey Cochran in first place and Viall in third, in position to win the overall, but fell, missing out on a chance to earn points for Deegan! Viall had made it into the top 10 before Deegan, but fell while removing his goggles, allowing Deegan to get ahead!

Meanwhile, Kitchen overtook Cochrane to take the lead and win the overall, Deegan improved to fourth, Anstey third and Cochrane second, but Vialet's second pit stop for a bent gear shifter all but ended his title hopes on a day when he should have been scoring points.
