Soft ground and a long climb gave a tough race. Elsnic, Suzuki and Kodaira led the peloton. Suzuki eventually lost contact and Kodaira and Elsnic prepared to fight it out on the last lap, but Kodaira broke a wheel and Elsnic won comfortably. Kodaira came in second and is now leading the series.

In the category 2 event, Matsumoto attacked on the last lap but slipped on the downhill stretch and Chetwynd took the win. Category 3 was won by 16 year-old Seigo Yamamoto.
