David Doel leads Pau

There were big changes to the leaderboard after today’s cross country at Pau, where only four horse/rider combinations were clear within the time allowed.

Two fences proved to be very influential: Fence 4ab and Fence 21b (where the very sensitive MIM clips dropped no less than 9 times)
