Asia Trail Master Ranking Update

After the Magnificent Merapoh Trail in Malaysia and Rinjani 100 in Indonesia, the 2016 Asia Trail Master championship has seen substantial changes at the top. Isaac Yuen Wan Ho is back on number 1 in the men's after finishing his third race this season. For the sympathetic Hong Konger, the rest of the year will be tactical and trying to improve his third best result, i.e. 350 points (incidently, Isaac scored 350 points in all his races). He also gets the Abroad Bonus, 50 extra points, for having raced at least once outside his country of residence. 

Manolito Devina drops to second place, and now sees Jan Nilsen right behind him. 

In the women's ranking, Tahira Najmunisaa has extended her points lead thanks to her victory in the Merapoh Trail last weekend. It will be hard for anyone to still steal the championship away from her, yet mathematically it is still possible. Philippines' Gretchen Felipe has moved up to second place after her second race win in two months. Adelinah Lintanga from Malaysia has moved up to third place, having accumulated good results in both Malaysia races so far this season. 

Official results of this week's Mongolia Sunrise 2 Sunset are still pending; ATM points will be assigned next week
