The following day, Thursday, Alfredo Gómez, together with the rest of competitors, put on a real show. Although he started from 3rd position, he was seen on the course of the "Marble Quarry", one of the most dangerous and spectacular overtaking areas, where he made up the difference and fought for the first place at the finish line with Teodor Kabakchiev. Everyone present was ecstatic. Unfortunately, a human error caused a delay at the Refuel point and a loss of almost two minutes. Alfredo Gómez made a real power lap to make up for the time lost and managed to finish in third position, six seconds behind the second classified and 3 min 45 seconds behind the first.
The third day, over a distance of more than 100 km, was a close battle for the top 5 positions.
