Second was good enough for Herfoss to claim the overall victory, with Casella second and Waters rounding out the podium.

A lonely fourth was had by Aaron Gobert on his privateer Yamaha YZF-R6, maintaining the position throughout the race, while fellow R6 riders Mike Jones was fifth Ben Burke was sixth.
