For some time, Florent Payet held the hot seat even with a broken chain until Charlie Hatton bumped him out.

Per usual, Blenki looked electrifying but was a few seconds back.

His race run would start well, up at the first split but he would flat and shred his back wheel to pieces, having to walk his bike across the line.

Much like most of the year, Rachel struggled with her shoulder.
