It was a superb day for France topping the Nations classification at the end of the qualifying day but it is close. Spain were second with three points and Australia third on five points.
Germany were also strong in fourth with six points as USA ended up sixth with ten points ahead of Belgium.
GB didn’t have a good day with issues and ended up fifteenth so won’t have the best gate picks for the main races. The Irish riders all rode well with Barr and Meara seventeenth in their races with McCormick twenty-eighth. They were close but came three points short off qualifying so it’ll be more B-final drama tomorrow morning.
