Close at the top in Grenoble
With just two nights remaining in the Grenoble Six, the standings are very close at the top of the leaderboard. Swiss pair Franco Marvulli/Alexander Aeschbach are on 238 points, just 3 points in front of experienced Italians Adriano Baffi/Marco Villa. In third place at 2 laps are Robert Sassone/Jean Michel Tessier (Fra) who look to be too far down on points (153) to make an impact on the leaders.
The top point scorers in Grenoble are actually South Africans Robert Hunter and Jean Pierre van Zyl, who have amassed 284 points over the four nights. However they are four laps behind Marvulli/Aeschbach, thus will have to have an amazing final two nights to reclaim the lead. As it stands now, the South Africans are in fourth place overall.
In the sprinters competitions, Arnaud Tournant is currently leading the Keirin tournament over World Champion Jobie Dajka after four nights. The French again have it over the Australians in the Sprint Master Buckler series, with Florian Rousseau on 32 points leading World Champion Sean Eadie on 30 points, and Laurent Gane on 26.
