Bottle out in the round of 16 at Nike 6.0 at Lower Trestles moves to 5th on the WQS

Bottle went out in the round of 16 at the Nike 6.o Pro at Lower Trestles but his accumulated points with this 9th place at Trestles now sees him move to 5th on the WQS Ratings. This may change shortly depending on results at the Highland Pro in Scotland. Bottle went down to Tanner Gudakus 16.34 to 13.16…. Next for Bottle is the 2009 Billabong Pro at Teaupoo, Tahiti on the WCT, where he has got a spot through the being the first replacement for any injured surfer. Bottle is currently running 14th on the WCT, and a good result here could help him re-qualify for the WCT by being a replacement, even though he is well on his way to the WCT in 2010, with his WQS performances
