KPR Situation
The following graphs show who is in a position to improve their KPR score to move beyond “the bubble” where qualifying comes down to everybody’s results on the last day of racing.
Male Participants
Female Participants
Winning Odds
Male Race Participants
Based on his good results at the end of 2014, Clemente is the slight statistical favorite, but he’s been struggling lately (including a DNF in Frankfurt). Ronnie Schildknecht has won this race eight times before but he faces strong competition by Timo, Jan and Matt, most of whom still need the Kona points that come with a good finish.
- Clemente Alonso McKernan: 26% (3-1)
- Timo Bracht: 18% (5-1)
- Ronnie Schildknecht: 18% (5-1)
- Jan Van Berkel: 8% (11-1)
- Matt Trautman: 6% (15-1)
Female Race Participants
If Daniela decides to race (she’s scheduled to race Roth just a week before), she’ll be the clear favorite. If she’s not racing, the top spot will be wide open.
- Daniela Ryf: 69% (1-1)
- Michaela Herlbauer: 10% (9-1)
- Natascha Badmann: 7% (14-1)
- Kristin Moeller: 4% (23-1)
- Celine Schaerer: 4% (26-1)
- Ariane Monticeli: 4% (27-1)
