Super 10 after 11 races - the race is on!
So now it begins to count. You need to run 10 of the 16 races to be within a chance of qualifying to be the Super 10 men's or women's champion. So far Dancas lead looks strong with almost a 100 point lead - but can she maintain the momentum. Paul continues to ignore everyone's advice and runs on through injury - but he's still at the top. Well done both. However, Steven is only 34 points adrift of Paul and could still catch him if he maintains form. Laura has work to do if she is to close the gap - but it's still possible! All to play for still.
Next up Abbeydore XC 24th June. Results here in our temporary dropbox link. The dropbox link is a temporary thing till we sort out the website glitch!
