The two close course motos were very crucial in the afternoon of the final day. Alain Martin took the overall win and the title of the General Classification and in the F1 class. Olivier Vidal won the NA Class ahead of Christoforos Papathanasiou. Akropolis Jet Raid has a new overall winner after five year’s domination of Jean-Bruno Pastorello.

Navigation and strategy for fuel consumption was the final morning for the athletes of Akropolis Jet Raid 2016. The riders covered approximately 100km inside the Pagasitikos Bay and searched for three secret points. Rider who would have failed to pick up any of those secret points would have been disqualified and get zero points for this stage. Vincendeau finished ahead of Alain so the two of them have a difference of 11 points in the standings with Alain being on top. Greek rider Malouchos needs to cover 28 points in order to be ahead of Doukhi which is a tough task for the two close course motos that will follow in the afternoon.

The last Stage of the day was a GP close course race with three buoys. A Le Mans start was given and the riders were of to complete 15 laps. At the holeshot buoy Breton and Antoniuk were involved in to a mild crash which forced Breton to go back to the shore. After 15 laps the rider’s list was: Alain, Cherici, Vincendeau, Lamy Malouchos and Doukhi. The rest were lapped more than twice. Therefore, by the end of the day the General Classifications changed again. Akropolis Jet Raid has a new points leader now, Martin Alain.

Since three riders had to use the extra fuel can of 10 liter they had to be penalized. Therefore, they lost five positions from the riders list that had not used the extra fuel. So the initial list of finish in Volos was: Doukhi,Vidal, Lamy, Vincendeau, Alain, Cherici, Breton, Antoniuk. Malouchos and Papathanasiou. The final one is Doukhi, Vidal, Alain, Breton, Antoniuk, Lamy, Vincendeau, Malouchos, Cherici and Papathanasiou. No further were given to the riders that did not follow the exact route back to Volos. The Course Marshall decision did not make happy some of the riders. Greek rider Akis Malouchos was very disappointed and he has not announced yet whether he will continue to race the following motos of Akropolis Jet Raid 2016.
