Many changes in different series will make Trofeo Princesa Sofía's final days even more interesting. French Jean-Baptiste Bernaz (79 pts) was leading ILCA7 yesterday but could not compete after contracting the flu. British Mickael Beckett (33 pts) took back the head of provisional ranking, closely followed by Germany's Philipp Buhl (35 pts). Australian Olympic champion Matt Wearn made a great come-back and is now standing 3rd (48 pts).
Canada's Sarah Douglas still has her grip on the ILCA6 top spot with just 9 points (5 victories out of 9 races). We will be looking closely at the 2nd place battle between Greek Vasileia Karachaliou (29 pts) and British Hannah Snellgrove (31 pts).
A similar scenario in Nacra17 with Italian pair Ruggero Tita/ Caterina Banti dominating the class (10 pts with 6 victories out of 9 races) as British Olympic Champion John Gimson paired with Anna Burnet (28 pts), Finnish Sinem Kurtbay/ Akseli KESKINEN (30 pts) and Italian Gianluigi Ugolini/ Maria Giubilei (33 pts) can still pretend to a 2nd place.
In 49er, French pair Erwan Fischer/ Clément Pequin may have dropped to 3rd place, but the top 4 is still very close. First is Polish duo Mikołaj Staniul/ Jakub Sztorch (31 pts), winner of two races today. They are closely followed by team USA Ian Barrows/ Hans Henken (32 pts), the French (32 pts), and Spain's Diego Botin Le Chever/ Florian Trittel Paul (32 pts).
In 49erFX, Dutch Odile Van Aanholt/ Annette Duetz took (definitely?) the lead (28 pts) as Brazilian Olympic Champions Martine Grael/ Kahena Kunze are still 2nd but with 37 points even though they finished stronger with a 2nd place and a victory in last two races. Sweden's Vilma Bobeck/
Rebecca Netzler are 3rd with 43 points.
In mixed 470, there was no change in the leaderboard with Spain's Jordi Xammar/ Nora Brugman leading (14 pts) followed by Italian Giacomo Ferrari/ Bianca Caruso (22 pts) and French Kevin Peponnet/ Aloïse Retornaz (26 pts).
