The master of faster, Richard Spooner, blitzed around the track with Billy Bianca to attack Billy Twomey’s early targets that brought the competition alight. With a time of 60.66 Richard ended up third. This CSI5* competition had an interesting track designed by Frank Rothenberger with the Longines serpentine combination made for some tight turns to make up valuable seconds on the early part of the track.
