The Grand Prix was won by Emil Sayfutdinov, who beat Martin Vaculík, Maciej Janowski and Max Fricke in the final.[2] It was the seventh win of Sayfutdinov's career, but his first since 2013. The win also saw him move to the joint-lead of the overall standings, tied on 47 points with Patryk Dudek and Leon Madsen, who both failed to make the semi-finals.
