Wellens attacked on the first lap, and only Sven Nijs could match his pace. It was a two-man race that finally was settled when Nijs went astray in the final corner, leaving the door wide open for Wellens to win his fifth straight race.
Nijs hung on for second, followed by Ben Berden in third. American Jonathan Page crossed in 18th place.
