Antoine Albeau (FRA)

Formula Windsurfing World Championships

Forteleza

Wojtek Brzozowski (POL) and Dorota Stazewska (POL) continue to lead the Formula Windsurfing World Championships taking place in Forteleza, Brazil.

Brzozowki may have a bit more of a race on his hands, than Stazewska, with Kevin Pritchard (USA) having a string of second positions to take him within 8 points overall, with both Ben Van Der Steen (NED), and Antoine Albeau (FRA).

Stazewska (POL) is looking like she will win the women's fleet easily, having won all seven races. There is a battle on for second between Lucy Horwood (GBR), currently ahead by one point of Karin Jaggi (SUI) in third place.

Fifteen races are scheduled, with racing concluding on Friday.
