Countering the Belgian Lindsay De Vylder seemed impossible. He gained three laps and therefore 60 points to overtake all his rivals and win the world title. At the end De Vylder burst into tears over the victory. The Dutch Dorenbos managed to snatch the bronze from the French Nilsson-Julien in the last sprint.
