Racing Friday at the Formula Kite Mixed Team Relay Europeans was in final series format . . . The fleet split into Gold, Silver and Bronze.
In the gold fleet after four races, Britain’s Connor Bainbridge and Ellie Aldridge, now lead by 2.3 points from Florian Gruber and Leonie Meyer of Germany, with Guy Bridge and Katie Dabson in third place.
The three leading teams each won a race, with Maxime Nocher and Lauriane Nolot of France also winning a race, to place fifth.
Leading the silver fleet are Toni Vodisek and Marina Vodisek of Slovenia, and the bronze fleet Denis Taradin and Sofia Kotliar of Russia.
Collisions and protests played a part in the results, with Maxime Nocher getting a DSQ in the second gold fleet race and the German team awarded redress.
Then in race 3 of the gold fleet a collision at the top mark between Guy Bridge and Maxime Nocher, resulted in Bridge being disqualified.
Racing continues Saturday with another 4 races per fleet scheduled.
