and he wins the first
two races of the day,
always head to head
with Maxime Nocher.
Speeds are incredible,
riders whoosh
past the windward mark, near the shoreline,
at more than 30 knots. In the Silver fleet Beverino
and Chiti keep the Italian flag in the first positions.
The gusty and off-shore wind isn't the best
thing, Leccese is having difficulties to maintain
his excellent performances like during the first
days and he even gets 11th in one of the races.
Meanwhile the young Bridge is having a good day
and gets a series of victories that lead him on to
the second position. The group of favourites is
all in a handful of points amongst Nocher, Bridge
and Leccese. In the Silver fleet the young Italian
Giulio Chiti is unstoppable and he takes home two
first positions, while the other young Italian Lucas
Rey, a local from Cagliari, gets two good second
positions. In the women's group Elena Kalinina leaves
quite behind her eternal rival Steph Bridge.
The wind on the course race is challanging and
the coveted thermic wind gave way to the unsteady
North West during these days making it difficult
for the race tactic and for racing under gusty
conditions.
Nine races were held on the very intense and penultimate
competition day, before the medal race.
