The two Borja, Etchart and Virto confirmed as well their card for the Challenge Tour next season and France's Thomas Elissalde who missed the cut, did not loose his precious 5th place. Italy's Nino Bertasio did not play this week as he was sure not to be overpass thank to his advantage in the ranking.
