Between Sasaki et farmhouse it's already taking shape, the Japanese feeling that he was hampered by the Spaniard... The first reference of choice goes back to Tatay in 1'42.340.

After 10 minutes Tatay keeps the lead by pushing in 1'42.170, but these are Oncu et Guevara who are now after him. Foggia gains momentum and takes third place. We will remind you that it is he who currently has the best absolute time in the cumulative sessions in 1'41.608. Meanwhile we are looking for the limit at Sergio Garcia...
