Strong wind this morning... no task. The prize-giving ceremony takes place around 11:00 at the headquarter.

Friday, September 8th : clouds and rain... no task today

The weather this morning is not very good. Cloudy sky and forecasted rain do not allow to run a task. A front is coming towards us...

Thursday, September 7th : 73km race

One more task with 7 turnpoints to push the pilots to leave the ridges they have been folowwing during the past days. It allows a few different options and some tactics.

Wednesday, September 6th : 70km race

After the big task of the previous day, the 70 km race of the day looks like a rest. But it's not !

The conditions are sometimes turbulent with some varios over 4m/s but the average climb, especially in the low levels, is closer to 2m/s. The window is opening at 13:40 and the start, 2 km around the first turnpoint is at 14:00. As usual on the very big and grassy Stol take off the 125 pilots are taking of in less than 5 mn.

Christian Maurer and Urban Valic are leading the race. They are ahead when returning from turnpoint 3, near Bovec. Maurer, following the lower ridge, reaches the goal 6 mn in front of the second pilot. After crossing the goal line (2h 24mn), he keeps flying on the ridge over Kobarid ! Urban do not go up and cannot reach the goal. Other pilots, taking the upper ridge, are faster than he others. The french Denis Cortella (french champion 2005, 2004 and 1998) and Stephane Drouin (german champion 2006) are second and third. Stephane, one second in front of Aljaz Valic !

With Charles Cazaux in 8 th position, the french team is winning the day but the Slovenian are still leading the overall. After 43 men in goal, a very happy Cornelia Voigt (CH) is the first woman in goal, 48 mn after Maurer. Petra is second (30 seconds after Cornelia) . Another tchek female pilot, Hana Matyaskova is third ! With Maurer and Helmut Eichholzer (9th), the Advance team is winning today. Tonight, DJ Mark is playing at the headquarters.

The weather looks good for tomorrow. The comp goes on !

Tuesday, September 5th : 105km race, 8 pilots in goal

No more cloud cover today, sunny sky is back !

A 105km race is starting at 13:10. The thermal activity is not as expected and the first pilots are landing around Kobarid, after flying around 15km. A second group of pilot is landing around the 2nd turn-point after 75 of flight.

The last part of the flight is the most difficult, and only 8 pilots finally reach goal with most others landing around 99km.

Kaoru Ogisawa is winning the task, Christian Maurer is second and Urban Valic is third.

Petra Krausova reaches 97km, Renata Kuhnova also coming from Czech Republic lands at 97km, and Karin Appenzeller is third with a 96.1km flight.

Today's team podium

Monday, September 4th : cloud cover, no task for today...

Today's clouds are staying instead of disappearing like the previous days. We can feel the sun thru the clouds, but there is not enough thermal activity to allow a task today.

Sunday, September 3rd : first task flown in Slovenia, 51km, almost all pilots reach goal.

A short race is launched as some cloud cover nearby do not allow to be very optimistic about the flight conditions later in the afternoon. Most pilots are reaching goal.
