In the two single categories the Spanish pilots have managed to push into the lead. After winning tasks four and five, Japanese Slalom and turnpoint hunt, Ramon Morillas has wrestled the lead of his close rival Mathieu Rouanet. The UK’s Michel Carnet is currently in third place after finishing in joint second place in the turnpoint hunt alongside to more UK pilots Paul Bailey and Dave Hairs. Despite the strong team showing in this task the UK team are currently in 3rd place in the team ranking behind France and Spain. Spanish Trike pilot Daniel Crespo has now taken the lead in the single trike class ahead of German Jens Hicken. The vice European champion Michaela Machartova has moved into third place despite not scoring in the opening task of the competition.

The reports finding their way back from China suggest the event so far have been plagued by protest and counter protest, it would seem that the top teams have been watching rather to much F1 recently and think they can win the event in the director’s office.
