There are 3 Grand Prix contests Beckie.........this is the first one,I don`t know where the other 2 will be held though.
They are all very close together so people can try to hold their condition.

These are the only 4 pics I`ve seen from the show thus far...they were huge and I had to resize them so they might lose a bit of detail.  |

Happy for Jay! And thrilled for Rockel. He deserves some recognition.
Ronnie seems to be losing it. Looks like he was 2nd on reputation.

JAY WINS REMATCH #1
Written by: Greg Merritt
He was still holding water from yesterday's 14-hour flight, but Jay Cutler was clearly better defined than Ronnie Coleman in Friday's Austrian Grand Prix, and for the second time in six days (the first being the Mr. Olympia), Iron Jay relegated eight-time Mr. O Coleman to the runnerup spot. At times during the fast-paced contest, it seemed Coleman lacked the old confidence while Cutler now has the aura of reigning bodybuilding king. The crowd initially poured its love on the owner of eight Sandow's, but the owner of one Sandow won them over. The battle for third place was crucial because it meant the first 2007 Olympia qualification for someone who didn't earn one by placing in the top six at last weekend's O, and it meant the most to Dennis James, because he's forgoing the rest of the Euro Tour to guest-pose in Hungary. Alas, it was crowd-favorite Markus Ruhl who nabbed the three spot. Neither James nor Ruhl were at their best, but both were slightly tighter than at the O. Germany's Ronnie Rockel and England's Eddie Abbew were the best-conditioned men in the show. Rockel lacks the back and Abbew is missing the wheels to out-muscle the big cats in this lineup, but both were very happy to be in the posedown against the winners of the past nine Mr. O's.
EURO NOTES
Italy's Daniele Seccarecci, fresh off his fifth place finish at the Spanish Grand Prix, has a classical physique reminiscent of a bigger John Terilli (there's an '80s flashback). With a bit more mass and a lot more cuts, he'll be back in more posedowns.
In addition to Rockel, his slightly smaller doppelganger, Lee Powell, also could've finished higher if the judges had looked for more cuts with less mass. His spinal erectors and lower lats were as feathered as anyone's this side of David Henry's.
The show was a rousing success with over 1700 tickets sold (many hundred since the Olympia) and a very vocal crowd.
The total prize purse was $20,500, with Cutler taking away $10,000.
Tomorrow (very, very early!) the tour moves to Timisoara, Romania for the Romanian Grand Prix. Nobody seems to know anything about what awaits us, but you can count on Team FLEX to be there behind the scenes and front row center. Watch FLEXOnline on Saturday for early updates and a full report. Rematch No.2, and, possibly, Ronnie's revenge, is only a day away. And you won't want to miss the complete madness, dueling egos and full behind-the-scenes story in a future issue of FLEX. For starters, a Mr. Olympia winner nearly burned the Austrian hotel down!
