The leaders of almost all divisions remained unchanged in the eight categories in contention for the title of ALAS Tour champion.
They continued at the top: Tao Rodríguez, Melanie Giunta in open, Víctor Camarena and Gwendolyn Adamas in under 14, Kirra Silver in Longboard women and Víctor Camarena himself in the under 18 men.
What did change was that Catalina Zariquiey took over the top of the under 18 ranking and Rafael Cortez the Longboard ranking.
Since El Salvador is a six-star prime stage and the first place has 6.600 points in all categories, the reality is that anything can happen once the stage is over. Since there will be seven stages in open men (it is not yet known in the rest of the categories, but in most it is less than seven), it can be said that any of the top 10 who places in the top 3 of the championship will be very close to being crowned champion.
The final stage will be in Punta Rocas in December and will be two stars. It could happen that those 2000 points are decisive for the ranking, but everything indicates that this will not be the case.
To give you an idea, between first and second place there is almost the same difference between winning a championship and the final date.
But anything can happen.
Below is the updated ranking by category:
