The participation was so large that qualifying rounds were necessary in the afternoon for both categories. In the end, Olympic champion Chiara Consonni and Ilya Savekin prevailed, both with full merit.

Savekin secured the Men's Elite Omnium – G.P. ACEF, at the end of a day full of plot twists.

The decisive Points Race, whose points were added directly to the general classification, confirmed the balance of the competition. Savekin managed the advantage accumulated in the first three events, closing with 122 points and ahead of Gleb Syritsa (115) and Uzbek Nikita Tsvetkov (114). Fifth place in the final standings for Italian Simone Consonni, the best Italian in the final rankings.
