The South African riders Travis Teasdale (KTM) and Wade Young (Sherco) completed the podium. Mario Román was fourth ahead of Austrian Phillipp Bertl. The new format was made so only five riders
Jarvis was the top qualifier but Young was the fast starter in the final event. Young set the pace until suffering a technical problem that delayed him for a short time, just enough to give Jarvis the lead.
That was all Jarvis needed to take the win in the three-hour race. Teasdale took second and Young third
“It’s been a great event for me,” Jarvis said. “Winning the morning qualifying race was a bit of a surprise. I just made sure I didn’t make any mistakes and that was good enough to get the win. In the main race I got a good start but dropped behind Wade Young, who was running a really strong pace. He had some kind of a problem then, which allowed me to get ahead. I just kept a steady pace going then and things worked out great. There was a lot more man-made sections this year, which isn’t really my things. But to get a fifth Hell’s Gate win is great.”
