As on the day before, the club ranking was led by the MOTO CLUB AZZURRI ahead of HAMMEENLINNAN MOOTTORIKERHO and MOTOKLUB JIRETIN II.

6th day

On the last day, a short stage and the final motocross was driven as the last special stage.

The latter, however, did not end as planned: The road surface was very dry, which resulted in poor visibility due to the dust. The class E1 drivers still in the competition contested the first races, with numerous falls and one seriously injured. With a few exceptions, the following starters of the E1 as well as the later classes E2 and E3 refused to start under these conditions, and the organizer could not noticeably improve the conditions despite the watering. When two British drivers wanted to start their race anyway, they were stopped by drivers from the Spanish World and Junior World Trophy teams by demonstratively blocking the track. - The jury punished this behavior with the disqualification of the Spanish national teams. The Real Federación Motoclista Española (RFME) protested the decision.

Final results

In November 2004 the International Disciplinary Court (CDI) of the FIM ruled on the appeal of the RFME against the decision of the jury, which had disqualified the Spanish World and Junior World Trophy on the 6th day. - The disqualification remains. As a result, the Junior World Trophy team lost its leading position in this competition and the Finnish team won instead.
