Reporting live from the comp for XCMag.com are Mark Hayman and Craig Morgan.
Mark recently gave up his British Team place in a public letter to team manager Kitt Rudd, questioning the sense of flying two-line comp wings. He will be flying a serial class wing. Craig, the current British Champion, is on the R11.
