Standing Construct KTM rider Glenn Coldenhoff sure has found the form of his life as he won the Saturday qualification race for the MXGP class. The Dutchman led home Arminas Jasikonis and Jeremy Seewer.

Gajser led the MXGP qualification race from Coldenhoff, Seewer, Herlings and Jasikonis. Monticelli was sixth, Jonass next, then came Bogers, Van Horebeek, and Paulin in 10^th. Herlings in trouble as he dropped back to seventh place, and Gajser then went down hard in the lead and dropped back to ninth position.

After a lap the positions were Coldenhoff, Jasikonis, Seewer, Jonass, Monticelli, Herlings, Bogers, Van Horebeek, Paulin and Strijbos. Gajser down again as he rounded in 14^th place. Coldenhoff might have had the lead, but Jasikonis wasn’t letting the Dutchman get away. Tonus pulled into the mechanics area, and Gajser moved into 11^th place.

After four laps Coldenhoff led from Jasikonis by around two seconds, with Seewer third, Jonass fourth and Monticelli fifth. On lap six Jasikonis was all over Coldenhoff, with Seewer also closing on the two leaders. Herlings continued to trail in sixth position, and Gajser was 13^th.

On lap nine Herlings passed Monticelli, and Coldenhoff started pulling away from Jasikonis and Seewer. Jasikonis and Seewer closed up on Coldenhoff again in the last two laps and those three fought for the lead, with clocking the quickest laps and pulling up on Jonass in fourth.
