Tina Irwin overtakes Holzer. That's a massive seasons best for her!

Canada leads after Prix St. Georg, but I expect USA to be on top after Grand Prix, probably thanks to 2x1.5% bonus.

He appears as being eliminated from competition.

Indeed. Something happened at the post performance inspection.

Come on, what an unbelievable bad luck for Mexico.

 

Maldonado's horse bit himself after its tongue went over a bit - another elimination. Cruel ending to the Mexican team debut in Nations Cup.

Indeed it was cruel... just hoping that, if these are the same riders were sending to Lima, at least they improve their performances. I think we have a slight chance to end in the podium in the team event if everything goes OK.

Quintana is perhaps missing, but apart from her, this could be most of the Lima team. It should be an interesting battle between Brazil and Mexico for both team bronze and Olympic spot.

Canada actually had a better second day than the USA, but their disadvantage from day 1 was way too big.
