The race, scheduled to be run for 23 laps, was red-flagged after 8 full laps due to a multi-rider incident involving a total of eleven riders amid bad weather conditions. The race was later restarted over 7 laps with the starting grid determined by the classification of the first part. As a result of the incident, all crashed riders (including Marcos Ramírez, who crashed before the red flag came out) were not eligible to join the restart.
