With four races completed, Igor Rytov’s Russian Bogatyrs won the 2018 Russian Open ahead of the World Championship which opens on Wednesday.
Veteran Melges 20 Class member and owner Dario Levi at the helm of Fremito D’Arja, and Alexander Ezhkov’s Pirogovo finished second and third respectively.
Marco Giannini’s Siderval topped the Corinthian Division podium.
If anything, the 2018 Russian Open officially confirmed those who are ready to play all their cards. Some may have even deliberately underperformed this weekend, although still considered top contenders for the title.
Therefore, Cagliari promises to be one of the most exciting World Championship venues ever and one of the most challenging from a technical standpoint.
