First Look: Medina, Italo, Mateus & More Sample Fun-Sized Bells

It’s been 228 days since the Lexus Tahiti Pro, when the majority of the CT got the green light to delete [insert cocktail of choice].

Title contenders held out a little longer. Two more weeks before the bottles popped.

Next week, however, is their reckoning. Bells. Easter weekend.

Based on this freesurf footage, there’s a decent spread in form among the returning vets.

Italo looks solid. Gabriel’s sharp too, though his equipment situation still feels a little up in the air. He’s got 20 Cabiancas for the Oz leg, plus a coffin full of CIs. And swaps between them both here. I wonder if its keeping him up at night?

The rookies, meanwhile, barely had time to cool down after Newcastle. Engines still warm. You can hear what Doug Silva, Owen Wright and CJ Hobgood make of their chances against the old guard here.

Bells preview dropping shortly. Who you got to take the W?
