Man of the race was Jan Bootz, who despite a lengthy pit stop managed to win his class in the end. Another fight took place between Heidendahl (Alfa) and Visser (Peugeot); it was a race-long duel but in the end Heidendahl stayed in front.
The under-650 cc class had only two participants, but the Messerschmidt of Vink was able to race with the big boys early in the race.
