It was a day of the traditional 29er snakes and ladders. As ever in the 29er fleet consistency was key which required both a cool head and good broadband. So how did the fleet perform?

With two seconds, 2811 Ollie Evans took the top spot but with 2338 Toby Bloomfield only one point behind and also first junior. The spotlight will be on young Mr Evans tomorrow.

Meanwhile Sonia Evans held onto her lead as first female with Emily Mueller in second and Catriona Forrest in third. First Senior is Troy Mitchell with James Willcocks in second.

With a bullet and a third, NOR 2127 Joachim Bergsbakk has moved up to sixth overall pushing ahead of SWE 15 Marre Westerlind in ninth.

With two races to run tomorrow there is still all to play for...
