Image: Christophe Launay / Fédération Française de Voile – Full gallery at https://bit.ly/1yZLAV2 – Beyond those two above in red lycras that always win one day before the medal race… interesting results with the Dutch crews coming back to the top spots as when the new Olympic Class started to race in 2013.
The Netherlands teams were untouchable at the time. Then they disappeared from the performers list, and now they are starting to get on rhythm again.
Big stakes are being held in the Australian team with Bundock-Curtis (1st photo above ) on a great reaction under pressure after a bad event at Palma and a so so start at Hyeres. Tomorrow Medal Race.
