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.

Friday morning, the fifth day of Akropolis Jet Raid, riders had to cover almost 120km by traveling from Skopelos Island back to Alykes camp in Volos. Fuel consumption was the main worry and not the top speed at least for the Supercharged owners. Doukhi and Vidal were the first ones to arrive in Alykes and the rest came with the following order, Lamy, Vincendeau, Alain, Cherici, Breton, Antoniuk. Malouchos and Papathanasiou end up fairly late. However, Lamy, Vincendeau and Cherici used their extra 10liter can of fuel. Also, except from Doukhi, Vival, Malouchos and Papathansiou the rest of the riders had picked up the wrong route back to Volos. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how the points system will be altered by the Course Marshal.

An Ovan type race took part in front of the Chovolos Beach, in Elios town which was a very exciting event for the locals. The race started in five oçlock in the afternoon and the athletes had to ride their racecrafts from the harbor to the Island and back and in total they have to complete five laps. After a faulty start the race was restarted and four riders were ahead of the pack. Martin Alain, Bruno Vincendeau, Akis Malouchos, Cedric Lamy and Marc Doukhi. Farther in back there were Olya Antoniuk, Manu Cherici and Olivier Vidal. Chrystophoros Papathanasiou was left at the far end. Martin Alain saw first the chequered flag leaving behind him Vincendeau and Maloucho. Cherici although he had a problem with his engine he managed to pass Antoniuk. Points will be altered a lot and the overall results will be published in a detail story in the Features section shortly.

The fourth day of Akropolis Jet Raid was quit demanding since the riders had to cover approximately 92km in the morning. They left from Kanapitsa beach of Skopelos and they traveled to Steni Vala of Alonisos by covering 62km. Then they followed the route to Panormos beach in Skopelos toping the day with another 30km. Cedric Lamy and Bruno Vincendeau finished 1-2 in both stages. Martin Alain lost his way to Steni Vala while he was leading the race and finished 5th loosing many crucial points. Akis Malouchos finished 6th in the first stage and 7th in the second so most probably he remains in the 5th place.
