In the MXGP premier class, the Italian rider Alessandro Lupino (MRT Racing Team KTM) produced an excellent performance with two solid results (5th and 4th), which meant he finished the Grand Prix in 4th place overall. The Belgian rider Jeremy Van Horebeek (Beta) also made it into the top ten with a 9th place finish.
