Jack Simpson (KTM) also repeated his results from Saturday to conclude the outright podium in third, wrapping up the E1 title in the process.

Glenn Kearney (Husqvarna Enduro Racing Team) had a difficult weekend in the brutal conditions, concluding the day 14th outright to credit him second overall in the E1 championship.
