Romain Febvre took his points lead to 16 with a win in the MXGP qualification race. Second was main rival, Lucas Coene and third was Ruben Fernandez.

Romain Febvre: Again, with the start, I almost pulled the holeshot and he (Coldenhoff) was on the outside and with the mud it was tricky, but I didn't want to get too close and I passed him on the downhill and I pulled a gap. Hopefully tomorrow we have two good starts like today and we see.

Febvre into the lead as he passed Coldenhoff and the track still such a mess from the earlier rain. Seewer moved into ninth place with a pass on Ludwig and Coenen all over the back wheel of Coldenhoff.

Lap four and not a lot happening as Coenen passed Coldenhoff, but the gap to Febvre was 3.6 seconds, with Coldenhoff third, then Fernandez, Renaux, Geerts, Bonacorsi, Seewer, Bogers and Van Doninck. On lap five the gap was nearly five seconds and Febvre continued to show his liking for the Loket circuit. Lap eight the lead was 6.4 and not a lot happening, Gifting into 10th.
