Fernando Echavarri & Tara Pacheco are leading Hyeres 2016 World Cup after 5 races, 4 held today. Way for the spanish team to show they will take their ticket to Rio to a good use. 2008 Tornado Olympic Champ, Echavarri, sailing with Tara, is showing his skills remain unscathed for cat racing, being a Tornado or skimming Nacra 17, against the new young guard and top guns like Billy & Marie.
