A splendid performance from American TP52 team Quantum Racing, shot them to third place in the podium standings of 2011 Trofeo Conde de Godó City of Barcelona Trophy on Day 3 and tactician
Adrian Stead is delighted with the team’s progress in the event. The American team are already leading the overall scoreboard of the 2011 Audi MedCup Circuit and are likely to clinch the circuit trophy as well.
Quantum Racing sailed impressively on Day 3 and taking first and second positions in both races of the day, they claimed the third spot overall with 24 points. The Amercians are just four
points behind the leaders, Sweden’s RAN.
While speaking to the local media at the end of Day 3, Stead said, “We had good steady conditions today and we felt pretty strong today about coming in in a good place. We had two good
races, we sailed well right from the start and put the question mark on somebody else. It’s been a very solid day which puts us at the top of the standings for the Audi MedCup.”
He further added, “In the first run of the first race we managed to get away from Bribón a little, and at the end that help us to get a couple of points from them. In the second race we
caught pretty strong waves but managed to get through and lead the bunch around the top mark, so we wanted to stay in that condition and we did.”
