Belgian home win by De Ketele/De Pauw
In the end, the podium looked the same as the day before: the two favorites Kenny De Ketele and Moreno De Pauw (0/411) from Belgium were able to successfully defend their lead. In the final hunt they had already started with the benefit of a bonus round. Finally, both secured another round win for an unchallenged overall victory at the Sixdays in Gent. The French Benjamin Thomas and Morgan Kneisky (-2/336) defended second place ahead of the Dutch Wim Stroetinga and Yoeri Havik (-2/323). The Australians Callum Scotson and Cameron Meyer (-23/91) were surprisingly without a chance. Germany's Christian Grasmann finished fifth with his Danish partner Marc Hester (-8/109) ahead of compatriot Leif Lampater with Belgian Gerben Thijssen (-11/235).
