The French crowd went crazy with their racer Gautier Paulin winning this race. Herlings second, Villopoto third, Roczen fourth. Russia ace Evgeny Bobryshev led coming out of the first corner. Villopoto moves past as they start the second lap. A few minutes later, Villopoto falls over in a corner, and Bobryshev retakes first place.

Villopoto remounted quickly, retaining second place, and Dungey in third. First race winner Aussie Chad Reed has a fall 10 minutes into the race, and drops from sixth to ninth. France has a problem now — Pourcel falls down, and loses positions. Bad news. World MX1 Champion Tony Cairoli is out of the race — he started the race, but pulled off after a few minutes with pain in his hand. X-rays later show the bad news — Tony has two bone fractures in his hand.

Up front, Villopoto continued his strong ride, same for Bobryshev in second. Ryan Dungey third. As the rain starts coming down, America is now holding the top two positions — Villopoto and Dungey. Tyla Rattray of South Africa has moved to third, with Bobryshev fourth. Although Villopoto had a big lead over teammate Dungey in second, he slowed up at the finish line and they crossed it together. It came down to the last race.
