Amazing race today with the official result being called a dead heat between Oxford Brookes and Leander. First time in the races history. Brookes managed to get 5 boats in the top 20 (1st,3rd,5th,11th & 20th).

You’ll have to wait a while - they’re eligible for the Ladies so that’s what they’ll enter.

haha, I'm sure the German mens 8 may have something to say about that. Lets wait and see how they get on against the Dutch when they race at the Windermere Cup.

No way would the powers-that-be let Leander be beaten by a college crew.

There was no W I said in the Grand, not Win the grand but if your top crew wins the ladies surely you have to gonfor the Grand? Win the Grand and they can take their place next to UL and imperial.

Bit late for that, they were in 2016.

The crew that finished head is ineligible for the Ladies, surely?

Depends on how "No heavyweight F.I.S.A. Senior national crew may contend for this prize" is interpreted.

Only 1 of the Crew (matt Tarrant) is ineligible, the majority of the crew haven’t raced above U23 level. I would expect Brooke’s top boat this year to race in the Ladies Plate.

Bayer Leverkusen in the Ladies Plate last year had several athletes from the German team in 2016. I suppose they knew they were of that standard though... Having seen the depth of Brookes though, I imagine losing Tarrant back to GBR won’t be a massive loss.

Didn’t they win the Ladies in 2017?
Where is the progression if they do it again?

Progression is to defend the title

Rubbish
If I was in the crew I’d want to step up.
Clip the big boys who are focused on lucern
Get the crowd on your side

Totally disagree...and knowing Brookes they will want to go for the event they think they can win.
