Hibaika rose with the silver and Mecos medal with bronze, reaching 21 seconds from the pink champions. Cabo de Cruz and Chapela completed the classification.

The youth ending was very exciting and it was that until the last few meters the champion was not decided. Mecos dominated the race to the equator, where he arrived with a 2-second advantage over Cabo and 6 over Kaiku. However, in the third and last press conference, the Gruvenses were hooked up with a paddle, a moment that Cabo de Cruz and Kaiku took advantage of to take the lead. In the final line, the cruises only had to stand the pace to cross the finish line with 4.70 seconds of advantage over Kaiku and almost 9 over Mecos. Deusto and Pasai Donibane were 4th and 5th, respectively. The consolation band was won by Samertolameu in front of A Cabana, San Nicolás, Shipyard and Castro Urdiales.
