The first three teams finished in Kastania completing this way the 1st Etape Smixi-Kastania.
One step before the finish line are the first teams, after the passage of the third pit stop at 79th km (Ski Center of Anilio). The ranking stays the same for the time with Kalogeropoulos and Kostopoulos to stay ahead steadily. Until this point, the teams are classified as follows:
