On a challenging course set by Frédéric Cottier it was Italian rider Natale Chiadauni that came out on top. The course was technical with curving lines and the jumps came thick and fast. Out of 83 riders only 22 went clear. Chiaduani and the 12 year old 'V' were the fastest of those going clear in a time of 64.60 seconds. In second place was home rider Florent Jeannin and Saigon Rouge (64.79 seconds). Completing the top 3 was Swiss lady rider Nadja Peter-Steiner on the aptly named 'Well Done ' (65.33 seconds).
