The French Axel Mazella stars an excellent start in the sixth season of the Formula Kite Spain Series leading from beginning to end the Rooster Sailing FKSS 2023 Mallorca, ending with an 18-point mattress compared to the second one, the Slovak Toni Vodesek.

In women, the French woman, Lauriane Nolot, is able to maintain the leadership and rise to the top of the podium after an intense fight against the American Daniela Moroz on the final day.

After completing a perfect first day and being able to maintain its leadership in the complicated second day of the Rooster Sailing FKSS 2023 Mallorca, where the bay of Palma became a technical and challenging regatta field, Axel Mazella has proclaimed herself a winner of the queen category after fighting a final day in which the French only had to control its direct rivals in the gold group.

Eighteen points away from Mazella, the Slovenian Toni Vodisek has lived an event in which he has gone from less to more, climbing positions from the sixth to the second final position, exceeding throughout the days to Théo de Ramecourt (FRA), Camarón Maramenides (GRE), Benoit Gomez (FRA) and Kai Clader (USA).

The French also Theó de Ramecourt, manages to finish in the third podium drawer after a race in which the light winds and rolls of the second day in the race field made him lose the regularity to opt for the second place fight in the general of the Rooster Sailing FKSS 2023 Mallorca.

A good event for Catalan Bernat Cortés that for the first time manages to overcome in an official race the favorite to defend the colors of Spain in the next Olympics of Paris 2024, the Valencian Alejandro Citation... among the Gisela Polido girls has had to be satisfied to compete in the silver group.

The French Axel Masella continues unstoppable defending his first position on the second day of the Rooster Sailing FKSS 2023 Mallorca, a day in which the wind only allowed two sleeves to be carried out all day. Lauriane Nolot, a compatriot of Mazella, followed the same steps as his partner and resigned the short day at the top of the provisional podium.

Cameron Maramenides managed to maintain the second position achieved in the first day tests of the Rooster Sailing FKSS 2023 Mallorca. However, Théo de Ramecourt, who signed yesterday's day with a third place, failed to maintain his position and fell to a fifth place in the general, following his compatriot Benoit Gomez and the Slovenian Toni Vodisek, who climbed to a fourth and third place respectively.

The French Lauriane Nolot, with seventh and twenty-first place, managed to stay at the head of the female classification with a total of 75 points at the end of the day. When he arrived at the beach he said: "It has been a difficult day, the wind has played with us, but luckily we have been able to complete two sleeves in which I have been doing very well and have allowed me to maintain the leadership. So in general, despite the wind conditions, I have had a great time and I am very happy with my results."

On the other hand, the American and current world champion, Daniela Moroz, was able to tie to points with the French Poema Newland and took away Newland's second temporary position, which was relegated to the lowest podium step after not going out to compete on the first sleeve of the day.

The Catalan Bernat Cortés has become the most regatist in the form of the Spanish fleet of the first test of the national circuit of Formula Kite Spain Series, at the end of the second day in a tenth place of a fleet of 77 athletes of up to 21 different nationalities.

At the end of the day, Cortés stated: "The day has been very complicated, with a very steep wind and with a lot of role. For me having these conditions so challenging makes the race much more challenging and fun. So even if we haven't been able to sail much today, I'm happy with today and already looking forward to it coming tomorrow to get back into the water."

Gisela Pulido, the only Spanish female representative, completed the day at position 51 of the General and the eleventh in the female classification after signing a DNC and ending at the twenty-eighth place in the second and last test of the day.
