The World Match Racing Tour is hurtling towards the business end of the competition as racing heads to the Stena Match Cup Sweden. The first four events saw four different winners, and with only four more stages left to the Tour the action couldn’t be closer with just 28 points separating second and tenth positions on the overall leaderboard.
The fifth stage of the Tour, held on the picturesque waters of Marstrand Fjord, will for the first time this season see all nine Tour Card Holders – plus five more teams – go head to head in pursuit of the Stena Match Cup Sweden title.
As the results so far this season prove, at this halfway stage the World Match Racing Tour is still anyone’s game. One Tour Card Holder looking to score his first podium finish of the season is 2010 Stena Match Cup Sweden runner up Jesper Radich (DEN) Adrian Lee & Partners. However the Dane knows that with such a high caliber of teams competing a result will be by no means easy.
“This season has proven that there is no easy way to get good results,” Radich said.“We had a good season last year so this year we’ve performed a little below our expectations but that has made us even more determined and eager to get some good results from here on in.”
