Just watched the driving marathon on delay, and it was quite nice competition. TV coverage could have been more spectator-friendly at the obstacles though.

 

Boyd Exell is leading heading into the final day, followed by Chester Weber and Edouard Simonet... Netherlands (more precisely Chardone clan) has failed miserably with both Chardons getting very expenssive 20 penalties! They are now only 3rd in the team rankings, behind the leading hosts and Belgians.

Chudyba unfortunately missed out on the individual jumping final for top 25 by just two places, but what a great result for him. 4 years ago he placed 101st.

 

Jumping final will start in about an hour, and will be opened by Lopez who got in following a withdrawal from Henrik von Eckermann.

Clear for Lopez!

Well, Devin Ryan won't be advancing after having one down + time fault, but he still made a stunning breakthrough this year. From someone nobody knew, to World cup final podium, to WEG team gold.

Lopez's clear is proving to be very valuable. Top 12 might be in cards.

Clean for Kraut too

Looks like Smolders can only win medals in Gothenburg. He'll be looking forward to next year's WC then.

 

 

Lopez has already secured top 15!
