I wasn’t sure how that would work but I’m glad they all got counted as a no winner but their laps counted. I know when Malta (?) did same our uk organisers weee shocked as it means I one for the ticket to Bigs. What a BYU absolutely incredible

I know Merijn and Ivo a bit, and they are both genuinely nice guys, I can see why they wouldn't want to force a win. facebook.com Whilst it means no winner, all 3 are certain to qualify for the individual championships at Bigs next year, along with 4 others from the Belgian team currently on the "at large" list.
