Top 2 crews advance to A/B semi-finals. Others to classification
races.
Prediction
MEX and GER should both advance easily. A comparison of times in the prediction race
report that follows indicates ARG and GER close at the finish line. However, that is based
strictly on their times in the heats. It looks like GER backed way off in its heat in the
last 500 meters. We think GER and MEX are the crews that should be even all the way down
the course battling for the victory and favored lanes in the semi-finals, with ARG and HKG
to go to the classification races.
