The sky was overcast, and heat and humidity increased together in late morning. Cristiano Morgado (RSA) immediately took control of the DD2 Master prefinal ahead of Alan Rudolph (USA) and Christophe Adams (FRA), who was soon followed by place Fernando Guzzi (BRA), and Jose Luis Chicharro (ESP) 5th. Marc Berteaux (FRA) was 11th, but Michael Dauphin (FRA) had already retired. Morgado was flying but it was between Rudolph, Adams and Guzzi for second position. Rudolph got away from the trio to close on Morgado halfway and Guzzi took third ahead of Adams and Chicharro, and Adam Hunter (AUS) approached.
The chasing trio reformed 1” behind Morgado. Guzzi attacked Rudolph, followed by Adams who was giving it everything. Marc Berteaux was up to 13th, while Guillaume Berteaux (FRA) was 15th, but Morgan Hipp (FRA) remained far behind. It was heated for 3rd place on the final lap. Hunter attacked and got the better of Rudolph in fourth and Adams fifth, while Morgado won the race followed by Guzzi. Marc Berteaux finished 13th, Guillaume Berteaux 14th after a great recovery, and Hipp was 29th.
