At the opposite end of the spectrum of this MSL, Tourcoing, which has only lost once this season, consolidated its leadership position by dominating Nice (25-21, 25-19, 25-20). The first is now ahead of Chaumont who won in Sète (24-26, 25-20, 19-25, 24-26), the new runner-up who took advantage of the day off from Poitiers by Earvin Ngapeth, who announced his next departure for Turkey on Friday.
