Emily Mueller and Florence Brellisford smashed the first day of the 29er ALLEN Grand Prix at Hayling Island SC.
Three race-wins from three races, puts them 12 points ahead of Elodie Edwards and Ewan Wilson (4,6,5) on 15 points with Aled Llewellyn-Jones and Ben Bradley (9,2,6) third on 17 points.
It was really a case of who could stay in contention to challenge them?
Sophie Dennis and Emma Wells took second in the first race but dropped away with a 12 and 17 to finish in sixth overall with 31 points.
Aled Llewellyn-Jones and Ben Bradley were second in race 2, bracketed with a 9 and 6, to finish third overall and 17 points.
While Kate Robertson and Molly Hinsliff-Smith recovered from a poor start (27,16) to grab second in the final race and finished in 12th overall.
For Elodie Edwards and Ewan Wilson consistency paid, their 4, 6, 5, scoreline putting them second overall with 15 points.
The discard may help some – Leo Wilkinson and Sam Jones carry a 15 with their 3 and 4 places – but Mueller and Brellisford will be hard to catch if they can perform to this level again on Sunday.
