Rikey’s 84 points are enough to win him Day Eight and climb him 5 spots in the standings. As a defending overall champ, the rest of the field felt much better with him in 17th than pushing the Top 10. Waters and Caleb also gain a couple of spots, as does Lohse, who is in serious contention for the overall title, sitting in 5th place now, just 78 points off the leaders. And, it is leaders – plural – now, as Bry has fought back to earn a flat-footed tie with RDoc for the top overall spot. Mac continues to pick up ground, now sitting a mere 7.5 points behind the leaders in a tight 3-man pack up top. GrossJr and Alexi are still very much in striking distance, and Lazarow continues his climb up the standings.
PapaCim had a rough day, with just 5 points, costing him 5 spots in the standings. J also struggled, as he fell from 5th to 8th and is not 128.5 points off the lead. LohseJr was the only other person to fall more than a single spot in the standings.
