Bastard Windy at first this evening and only Valina Sintalova made a run in the first heat. She got Bluenose down the course OK but stacked the old warhorse quite hard in the deceleration zone.
Heat 2 failed to attract any riders at all.
Fabien Canal withdrew from heat 3 because it was Bastard Windy*, Calvin Moes actually b0rked one of Eta Prime's chains on starting this time and Andrea Gallo, great slacker that he be, cruised through at sub-50 mph to show off Taurus' tricolore underbody LEDs. Lieke de Cock had one more attempt at the women's record when the wind finally died, but came up a little short, as did Matthias König's quest for 80 mph in the final run of the event.
Andrea may have gone fastest but the big winners were undoubtedly the University of Liverpool team, Karen Darke and Ken Talbot. Hurrah for BRITAIN! Even if Ken is originally from Seattle.
* ETA, and not because Liverpool gave Annecy's chief catcher a BEER shortly before the start of the heat, which disqualified him from doing his job.
