### The 2024 Finn European Championship: High Stakes as Fleet Split Looms As the 2024 Finn European Championship heads into its fifth and sixth races, the competition is heating up with the crucial fleet split on the horizon. After six races, the fleet will divide into **Gold** and **Silver** fleets, with the top sailors in the Gold Fleet battling for the title. With the discard rule allowing each sailor to drop their worst result after Race 5, these next two races are pivotal for the overall standings. Italy’s **Alessandro Marega** leads the fleet with just 7 points after four races, having showcased remarkable consistency. His strategy will focus on staying steady, securing top-5 finishes to ensure he remains at the top. However, France’s **Laurent Haÿ** (9 points) and **Valérian Lebrun** (11 points) are in hot pursuit. The French duo must push hard in the next two races to close the gap and pressure Marega, knowing that after Race 5, they can discard any poor results. In fourth place with 15 points, **Nick Craig** from Great Britain will rely on his tactical experience. With the discard rule in mind, Craig will likely aim for safe finishes in Race 5 before taking more risks in Race 6 to climb up the leaderboard. The mid-fleet battle is intense, with **Filipe Silva** (18 points), **Christoph Burger** (21 points), and **Kristóf Kaiser** (21 points) fighting for spots in the top five. All sailors are balancing the need for consistent results with the pressure of qualifying for the Gold Fleet. As the fleet split approaches, every decision counts. The next two races will determine who stays in the hunt for the title and who gets left behind in the Silver Fleet. --- **Source: High-Performance Regatta Analyser GPT** Well done Christoph Burger!

Ending the Euro trip on a high… Joshua Johnson has been racing back to back races for the past 3 weeks in France and Belgium. It was a rough start with a puncture at Le Pevele Classic but still hanging onto finish 28th out of 167 riders followed by a crash the next day whilst in the break away at Ruiselede. The second weekend of racing saw a turn around with a 6th place finish at Roeselare on the Saturday and then the result we were waiting for, victory at South Leeuw. During the final weekend of racing, it was clear that Josh was a marked rider and teams played tactics against him throughout the two days of racing. On Saturday Josh raced Zandvoorde - Zonnebeke, managing his race well and a small group of contenders made the break, lap by lap little attacks whittled the group down to just 3 in the end, with the other two riders looking at Josh to do the work in order to not get caught by the pack they were able to come around him in the sprint with Josh securing another podium finishing 3rd. Sunday at the Beloeil it was a similar scenario with individuals from various teams making an attack on each lap. On the last lap there was one rider up the road and Josh could see he was not going to get help, instead of sitting in the pack waiting for a sprint for second he went to try close down the gap but in the end was a few seconds too late and with the effort during the lap couldn’t contend the sprint and settled for 4th and another big result. Three weeks... Six races... Two podiums including a win… An incredible opportunity to race on cobbles for the first time in what is known as the u/17 Paris Roubaix. Josh plans to return later in the year to compete in some of the Junior Stage Races. However, for now, Josh heads home to swap his road bike for his mountain bike and prepare for SA XCO Champs in May. Thanks to Andrew(Josh’s Dad) for all the video updates from the races. #athletemanagement #athletes #sports #southafrica #brandbuilding #partnerships #sportsmarketing #cycling #roadcycling #victory #belgium
