Sitting behind Forkner and Oldenburg at the front of the pack was Joey Savatgy and Adam Cianciarulo. Following Webb’s crash sending him back to the center of the pack, Alex Martin came firing up from behind to overtake both Cianciarulo and Savatgy or third place behind Oldenburg. Shortly after A. Martin's arrival Cianciarulo went down on his own accord and drop back a little bit in time but not in position.

A. Martin and Savatgy rode in the second and third position for about three laps before Savatgy found an opening to overtake A. Martin after making a small mistake. The two opened up and charged into a downhill sprint, but it was Savatgy that would ride into the next turn with the lead and ride out with a hold on second. With less than 10 minutes before the 2-lap marker came out, Arnaud Tonus came near the front of the pack to overtake Cianciarulo for 5th place. A few short minutes later it would be Webb up from the depths to be next in line to overtake Cianciarulo and find sixth place. Webb would keep his momentum moving forward and take Tonus before the 5 minute mark for fifth place in the pack.
