Good performance for Stefano Gross, who managed to recover 7 positions in the second run and finish in 19th place at 1″92 from the first.

Tommaso Sala, on the other hand, fails to be effective in the second run and loses 16 positions, up to 23rd final place at 2″24 from the top, after having obtained the seventh place midà race. Corrado Barbera and Giuliano Razzoli, who were 4″59 and 4″98 behind, were out of the thirty. Out in the first was Filippo Della Vite, in the second Tobias Kastlunger.
