The Grand Prix was won by Poland's Maciej Janowski, who beat Jason Doyle and Matej Žagar in the final.[2] It was the second successive win for Janowski, who moved to joint-second in the overall standings with compatriot Patryk Dudek - three points behind Doyle. Bartosz Zmarzlik had initially top scored in the heats with 13 points, but he was excluded in the final.
