The four-time WTCC champion beat Mikel Azcona (Cupra) and Johan Kristoffersson (Volkswagen). Esteban Guerrieri (Honda) took the points for 8th place and leaves Zandvoort with an 11-point lead over Thed Björk.

Gabriele Tarquini (Hyundai) and Rob Huff (Volkswagen) completed the Top 10 ahead of Nicky Ctasburg (Hyundai) and Aurélien Panis (Cupra). Jean-Karl Vernay (Audi) and Benjamin Leuchter (Volkswagen) retired due to mechanical problems.
