Anquetin and his 12-year-old son of Diamant de Semilly were only 0.01 seconds faster as compatriot, Julien Epaillard. Epaillard, who's without a doubt one of the fastest riders in the world, followed as runner-up with his SF-mare, Dubai du Cedre (Baloubet du Rouet).

Italy's Emanuele Gaudiano was just 0.1 seconds slower as the winning pair, eventually placing third. Gaudiano completed the stage with his trusted 14-year-old Chacco-Blue-son, Chalou.

The pair referred Olivier Perreau (FRA) with GL Events Venizia D'Aiguilly (Diamant de Semilly) to the fourth place while Hermès-sponsored rider, Jérôme Guery (BEL) completed the top five with Optimus Agro's 13-year-old  Cristel (Diamant de Semilly).
