Results

edit

The Grand Prix was won by Niels Kristian Iversen, who beat Greg Hancock, Bartosz Zmarzlik and Matej Žagar in the final. It was Iversen's first win of the season. World championship leader Jason Doyle was injured in the third heat and took no further part in the meeting, meaning Hancock took the overall lead.[2]
