Sun and good winds throughout the day ensured 4 great races were completed on day 2 of the Liepaja Raceboard World Championships. [more]
It was also a perfect day for current world champion, Max Wojcik (POL 7) with 4 wins, and a clear lead at the top of the championship ranking. Masters Champion Patrik Pollak (SVK1) will be satisfied with his results today as he sits a comfortable second on the leader board. Two spanish riders, from opposite coasts, are in struggle to secure third position; Tony Colomar (ESP 66) from Catalonia has the edge over his national rival Curro Manchon (ESP 9) from Andalucia.
Local hero Janis Preiss (LAT 30) started the day exceptionally well with a second place in race 4, and was leading race 5 when an unforced error cost him 9 places!
Lise Matise (LAT 1) leads the womens division; and although starting and racing with the men she is consistantly finishing in the top half of the fleet.
With light winds forecast for tomorrow we could see some significant changes in the top 10.
