At the half way point, with 10 races completed, 26 year old Sebastian Kornum from Denmark has 8 wins under his belt, discards giving him a perfect score of 8. Competition behind him is a little more interesting, Przemyslaw Miarczynski (POL-126) is comfortably in second place but fellow Poles Bartlomiej Kwiek and Maciek Rutkowski are both on 25 points jostling for third place on the podium.
