The 2008 World Title is a two horse race!! The WWT has been run and won by Neymara Carvalho from Brazil but the WMT has come down to two riders with one event to go… The only person who can beat Ben Player (Australia) at this time is Amaury Laverhne (Reunion Island) and he needs to win the event. Even if anyone else wins they can’t get close. Amaury can get a maximum of 3510 points if he wins and gets the 1100 on offer. If he finishes second (946) he will end up with 3356 points.   Amaury   This is behind Ben’s current points of 3371. If Amaury does win, then Ben will need to finish equal 5th or better. (the 671 points will then give him 3542 points). Finishing equal 7th will only give him 3481 points. This will make for an exciting finish to this years title race with both riders in outstanding form during 2007. IBA wishes both Ben and Amaury good luck in their quest to become the 2007 Men’s World Champion. Stay tuned to this website for more info on the last event in Canary Islands (Dec 3-9)…
