Johannes Rydzek failed to mark tight teammate, but nevertheless defended very well thanks to the 7th score and a gap of just four points from second place. Fabian Rießle instead concluded 12 °, in turn with a tight detachment.
Samuel Costa was ranked 8th, showing a leap in technical stability that was struggling to get rather early in the season. But the positive notes in Italian home end there, because the other six blues at the start have all toiled exceedingly.
