Thursday, August 10th : 53km race

A task is possible today, but it has to be flown very early to avoid the stormy weather expected later today. The thermals are very weak and most pilots are landing around 20km. Only 4 pilots are flying above the validation distance of 30km and so this task will be only score for the local event results (on 200 points), but will no be used for the World Cup ranking.

Christian Tamegger reaches 47.5km, Marina Olexina land at 45.2km and Martin Pacejka at 39.2km.

Today's team podium...
