The junior winner was also the same in both rounds: Renato Silva (Team BMX Quarteira), cyclist still under cadet age. In cadets, Rodrigo Campino (BMX Águias de S. Gabriel Best Point) stood out in both races.
In the highest category of females, 13 to 16 years old, Rita Xufre (Núcleo Bicross de Setúbal/Knowledge Inside) was the strongest on Saturday and Sunday.

Gabriel Best Point), on Sunday, and in juveniles – Edi Barradas (Núcleo Bicross de Setúbal/Knowledge Inside), on Saturday, and Bernardo Rocha (AEBTT Rio/Mr. Print), on Sunday. Francisco Sousa (Team BMX Quarteira) was hegemonic in children.
