The only significant position change came in the battle for third, where Gabby Chaves was able to get ahead of Sage Karam to complete the podium.
Zach Veach fell out of the podium battle after suffering a puncture, leaving Jorge Goncalvez to finish fifth ahead of Peter Dempsey, Victor Carbone and Juan Pablo Garcia.
