The 2015-winner Maximilian Schmidt on Chacon 2 (Chacco-Blue x Aventyno) opened up with another clear round and a time of 43,71 seconds. The German rider was followed by the Polish couple Michal Kazmierczak and Que Pasa 5 (Quite Easy I x Voltaire), that also produced another clear but crossing the finish line one second behind. German lady rider Jörne Sprehe and Luna 1509 (L’Avian x Leader M) showed everybody how to do it as next to go, when they brought the time down to 41,91 seconds to take over the lead and when last-to-go Ferenc Szentirmai and Chaccland (Chacco-Blue x x Carthago) had the first fence down Sprehe could start her celebrations.
