"And here comes Lucia Aelschu through the final ring to win the Grand Prix d'Anjou by a country mile. It's good to have Lucia back at her best, right, Bob?"

"It is, Sam, masterful performance all the way through. Never count her out."

"Never did, Bob, she's still third in the championship even on a bad start to the season, though that won't quite change yet as here's Nikita Coro taking zir second second-place finish of the year, ze'll still be one point ahead of Aelschu. And just behind Coro is Gerald Ipemas, who you'd have to say got a bit of a windfall from that ugly tussle between Andoal and Markwe that dropped them both down the order."

"Yeah, but it was a quiet race for him and he kept his nose clean, Temisia can't ask for more than that from their second rider with the team leader having to recover from thirteenth, where's he going to come in?"

"Fifth, looks like, just ran out of laps to catch Phoebe Tenryuu in fourth, she's another one who's had a clean race, kept out of trouble and punched above her weight, Soot must be absolutely at his limit."

"She better not have pushed him too hard, that's a very special dragon she's got there."

"He is, but I know she'll be pleased with that result. Now she can say she's finished ahead of everyone on the grid at least once."

"Let's see her beat Andoal on a day he doesn't get caught out scrapping in the midfield. Arden Markwe sixth, there, then Queru Idcoulh and Idrin Felvan round out the points."

"That's Felvan's first championship point of the year, right?"

"Looks like."
