Musquin thrived in the soft, technical and treacherous conditions while on lap 8, Cooper Webb pushed his way into second, passing Jason Anderson after fighting off an attack from Eli Tomac. Tomac would crash attempting to re-pass Webb some laps later further adding excitement to the race.
In the dying laps, Ryan Dungey made a last ditch pass on Davi Millsaps for fourth, while Eli Tomac slammed passed Jason Anderson for second – leaving both Dungey and Tomac tied on points as the checkers flew.
