Compatriot Jorrit Bergsma finished fifth. He drove a large part of the sixteen laps for Hoolwerf. Bergsma kept the pace high, so that escape was hardly possible. Hoolwerf could not crown the good work of his compatriot with the world title. During the final he collided with a South Korean, who fell.
