Looks like Ross was the only one to make the 32. Does anyone know if that gives her enough points to pass Lu for 4th on team?

[NNR]

Finish should move Ross to 4th and onto the team.

Congratulations

That finish would put Ross in 4th onto the team.

3 of the top 4 (and 8 of the top-16) were from Italy. Talk about a deep squad.

Vezzali takes the win over Errigo in the finals.

That Vezzali is an amazing machine. Built better than most italian motorcars.
