Two races completed in Denmark on day 1 for the 203 entries, resulting in four competitors tied for the lead – due to the immediate application of the discard.
The four leaders, each with a race win are: Wannes van Laer BEL (-11 1), Gordon Sims NZL (-34 1), Mikael Bjorndal SWE (1 -19) and Jørgen Svendsen (DEN (1 -56).
The leaders are followed by a second pack, each counting a second place race score: Jan Kurfield GER (-6 2), Søren Christensen DEN (-35 2), Charlie Cumberley GBR (2 -6) and Johan Schubert DEN (2 -22)
The leading top 20 results shown below indicate the leaders in the order of their single best score.
To indicate a more realistic situation at this early stage, I have looked at the results based on both race scores to indicate the top ten at this early stage.
Thus we have overall leader Jan Kurfield GER tied on 8 pts with Charlie Cumberley GBR, third Carsten Bech DEN with 9 pts, fourth Wannes van Laer BEL tied on 12 pts with Matt Howard GBR, and sixth Niklas Edler SWE with 16 pts.
As more results are accumulated the discard of the worse score will indeed indicate the leading trend.
Two more races are scheduled for Tuesday with the 10 races series concluding on Friday.
