After the second round the Light is still on – but is it dimming?

Limelight QLD maintained their pole position on the leader-board, but Grontmij Way or the Highway, Feekins and Sons and the Blue Revolution all put in strong performances to close the gap. Only 70 points separate the top 5. Further down the field 6 Second ABS and Jam Busters both managed to improve their performance by more than 30% - an impressive achievement. As the teams begin to refine their decision-making as their strategies are put into action expect move moves up ( and down) the table.

They think it’s all Ove’ ? – its only just started!

The waiting is over - Singapore-based team steps in to the Limelight!

Following the trialling period the competing MERIT teams have completed the first round with team Limelight QLD making a decisive move to the top of the leader-board. Strong performance across the board saw them increase their ranking by an impressive 54%. Nevertheless all the other teams saw improvements with a team from VINCI Construction, and two teams from Arup hot on the heels of Limelight QLD.

Lower down the table teams are beginning to get to grips with their company and the market, with strategies being formulated to make the right move at the right time. Have Limelight QLD gone too early? Will the peloton catch the yellow jersey? Time will tell!
