| Movement PRB #3 David Roldan is trying to close the gap towards #2 Thomas Bolton now after Abel passed him to start the month. Maybe we will see him push for the crown as well? He is making good progress so far, accumulating a 0.3437 AF cut to bring his AF easily sub 4.0 and within a point of the top spot. This was a result of eight PRs which were YF 46"385 Myth C + 15"186 Myth E, CCB 1'23"824 Myth C + 27"174 Myth B, DH 3lap 1'10"704 Myth C, DS 3lap 1'29"915 Myth C and WP 1'58"693 Titan A + 39"101 Myth D. With these times, he became the first person to sub 57" in overall times. All of these (apart from DH 3lap) were also Non-PRB PRs and Gods, giving him a 0.2969 AF cut to pass #4 Dylan Gaunt. Sticking back to PRB, #16 Sawara continues to impress with a 0.7656 AF cut to jump over #17 Cole Gilbert. He is staying consistent by hitting five PRs this week, all mid-high Titans. Also active in the same area on the Non-PRB charts was #15 Matthew Ord. He had just a very small AF cut from an old time, but it was an impressive RLC2 3lap 1'18"373 Myth B, ranked 3rd. Shoutout to the also active #39 Stefan Mayr, who had a small PR on BC flap but wasn't enough to get an AF cut. Lastly, we have #71 Anthony Valette of France, making a nice 5.7187 AF cut albeit moving up just two spots. It was enough to make him Titan D overall on the Non-PRB charts, although it is his activity in PRB that is really most important. His immense 41 PRs (a few old, but nearly all new) combined together to make a huge 13.2812 AF cut, enough to push him up fourteen spots into the #38 position, much higher than his #71 spot in Non-PRB. This moved him up in the Fench ranks as well to #7, right ahead of Kevin Sirman, while reaching Titan E overall. As mentioned earlier, he hit numerous times, including a great TTC 3lap of 1'33"245 Titan B. Hopefully more progress will follow from him soon, as he looks to have a lot of potential. Movement outside the top 100 included #190 Alex Malone -5.5310, #215 Nicholas Harvey -1.0160, PRB #291 Jonathon Jones -32.0940 (Advanced C to Advanced B), #413 Alexander Fogel -1.8280 (Intermediate B to Intermediate A) and PRB #592 Dexter Howe -10.9380 (Beginner C to Beginner A). New Records There were no new records this week. Awards He had by far the biggest cut of the week, hitting new times on more than half the game. He moved himself into the PRB Titan rankings, and shows a lot of promise to continue further. For his great success this week and rapid movement, Anthony Valette wins the POW for the second week of July! ~Kmacc |
