Saturday, 20 June: ROSES, GIRONA (Spain): France’s Jennifer Menard grabbed the advantage for heat 1 in Roses and will start from pole position after going quickest in this morning’s official qualifying.

The defending World Champion, currently third in the European Continental points table, was almost four seconds quickest than her nearest challenger, Sweden’s Emma-Nellie Ortendahl, with Virginie Morlaes in third.

Portugal’s Beatriz Curtinhal, the European Continental Championship leader after round 1, winning both heats in Porec, will have her work cut out to maintain her perfect record, starting from fifth place after a poor qualifying session.
