With yet another strong performance, Alan Alsop pulled away from the fieldas Achim Mueller faltered. With only one month to go, it looks like Alanis going to win the yearly contest hands down. However, strange thingshave been known to happen, and if Alan slips and has a bad month then itmight be possible for oneof his competitors to overtake him.
