| Movement Making a big splash, #3 David Roldan decided to work on some weak Non-PRB times, knowing huge results would follow. With the power of just four PRs, he amassed a 0.8281 AF cut, propelling him above #4 Dylan Gaunt and #5 Timur Ahmad. Those PRs he hit were all great as you would expect, starting with DH 3lap 1'11"642 and WS 1'55"167 + 37"638. His last PR was a MC flap 29"484 God, which now means he has God times on all of the nitro tracks. Some of the harder gods come from the retro tracks, but maybe David can somehow knocks some out of the way and maybe even become the first overall God? Thomas and Ben don't seem to be doing it, so David could have a good chance if he can reach those LC2 Gods. Despite being passed by David, Dylan Gaunt was active on the PRB side of the charts, moving up into the #5 slot with a 0.3750 AF cut to jump over #6 Alibis van Deaf. Unfortunately for Dylan, the next player is #4 Ben Stoneman, who is over 4 AF points away, a huge gap to cover. That would take Dylan a very long time to cover and lots of perseverance, but passing Ben would also make Dylan the Australian champion. So for now, the only thing Dylan can do on the PRB side is become the 6th player to reach the myth rankings. As of now he lies on 5.6250 Titan A, so it shouldn't be much more to push him over the top. A moment we've been anticipating for a few weeks now, #19 Sawara finally premieres on the AF charts, in an extremely respectable position. Sawara most likely rushed his most recent times just to get onto the official charts, so once he takes the time to play them for real, he'll most likely fly up the charts. You can already see his potential through times such as DH 3lap 1'11"755 God, RLC1 3lap 1'12"416 God, RFS flap 32"188 God and RSG 3lap 1'08"968 God. He also lands on Myth C overall status, but is very close to Myth B, so he should be there in the coming weeks. Also on the PRB side, Sawara landed at #20 and Titan C overall. Unlike the Non-PRB charts where he is the Japanese champion, Sawara would have to reach all the way up to #8 Huwakun to gain that status, a long journey, but Sawara shows promise to improve and climb high up the ladders. The emergence of Sawara on the charts had a very negative effect on #21 Simon Levy. After passing #22 Lenny Andreev and reaching what would be the top twenty, Simon is pushed back due to Sawara joining the charts two spots ahead of him. His 1.4375 AF cut was nice, but now he must cut another 2+ AF in order to reach #20 Marshall LeVett and the top twenty once again. Simon also had a 1.2812 AF cut in PRB, keeping him at #19 as he stays barely ahead of Sawara on those charts. Last we have #41 Stefan Mayr, who is always active. Usually when you're always active you're gonna go places, and that's what Stefan did. With a 2.5156 AF cut, he moved up two spots, which included passing #42 Stefan Peters for the #5 spot of Germany. He didn't hit many PRs, but sometimes it's quality over quantity, especially as you get higher up. Movement outside the top 100 included #144 Leonelli Wilker -0.5780, #147 Daan Becker -9.4370, #208 Ryan Trovillion -2.1250, #220 Alex Malone -5.7500, #230 Alencar Faria -3.5780 and #511 Errico Malatesta -2.5150. New Records There were no new records this week. Awards Only a few strong cuts this week, with basically two players tying for the highest. So in this case you have to go with the player who's ranked higher, as cuts aren't so easy. Well this player did make a shuffle at the top, and continues to fight to be one of the best. So for big cuts and regaining the top three spot, David Roldan wins the POW for the second week of June! Deutschland!!! ~Kmacc |
