A long night of raining turned the track to mud and slipperiness. This was evident right at the start where about half of the pack immediately took a tumble seconds after starting. After one lap a group of ten had created a gap, among them pre-race favourites Adam Toupalik (Czech Republic) and European Champion Yannick Peeters (Belgium). By the end of the second lap that group had splintered with Joris Nieuwenhuis (Netherlands and Kobe Goossens (Belgium) forming a lead group. Peeters followed on seven seconds while Toupalik had dropped further back to 24 seconds.
At the end of the third lap things had changed yet again. With two laps left a group of three Belgians (Goossens, Peeters and Schuermans) was in the lead, Nieuwenhuis falling a few seconds behind. In the fourth lap Schuermans fell after a downhill section, taking Goossens down with him. This gave Peeters a small lead on everyone without particularly trying. This gap was quickly bridged by another Belgian, Aerts, creating a group of two Belgians with just over one lap to go. Nieuwenhuis followed closely behind and reached the two just at the start of the last lap.
Aerts managed to escape Peeters and Nieuwenhuis showing how much power he still had left. Peeters played the team game well, not trying to bridge the gap with Nieuwenhuis in his wheel. Nieuwenhuis then slipped slightly, giving Peeters the chance to break away as well as Schuermans managing to come back to Nieuwenhuis.
The gaps remained: Aerts took the gold medal, Peeters silver and Schuermans managed to beat Nieuwenhuis in the sprint. Goossens completed the Belgian party by taking the fifth spot.
