XAVIER ROHART - “The Qualifications Round is over, so we are half way to our goal. We
wanted to do well in the first part, and we have won it, so it’s
perfect. With this format though, nothing is set, from

we all start at the same level, we have a small advantage compared to
the others, but the exciting bit of this format is that anyone can win
