Husqvarna Enduro Racing Team’s Daniel Sanders was crowned outright champion over Spaniard Josep Garcia (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and American Taylor Robert (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing).

Australians Lyndon Snodgrass (KTM Enduro Racing Team), Luke Styke (Active8 Yamaha Yamalube Racing) and Fraser Higlett (Husqvarna Enduro Racing Team) finished in positions seven, nine and 10, while compatriots Josh Green (Active8 Yamaha Yamalube Racing) and Michael Driscoll (Active8 Yamaha Yamalube Racing) were 12th and 16th outright.
