After sitting out last week’s European championship, Ian Pinnell and Dave Scott head the leader table at the Fireball worlds after two races Lake Bracciano (Italy), counting a second and a sixth.

Stevie Morrison and Liam Murray, convincing winners of the Europeans, are lying in fourth place with a ninth and third.

However, conditions here have been tricky to say the least and with eight more races to go it is still wide open – consistency is the name of the game.

Overall (after two races)

1st Ian Pinnell and David Scott, 14.7 pts

2nd Mark and Simon Maskell, 16 pts

3rd David Wade and Richard Wagstaff, 18.7 pts

4th Stevie Morrison and Liam Murray, 20.7 pts

5th Vince Horey and Ben Rayner, 22 pts
