Each time extremely exciting and with 109.5 kilometres also one of the longest tasks.Today the conditions were very exact as the forecast. As expected, the jump into Schanfigg towards Arosa and the region around Davos was the decisive region.The leading group with the leaders of the overall standings made the decisive mistake exactly at the crossing from Arosa to Davos and Steff Wyss won the race with his brilliant line. Yael Margelisch was always to be found in the leading group and was able to perfectly implement her experience in alpine terrain. Congratulations to both winners!

The day looks good!19. August 2020Task 3Today was a task over 62.2 kilometers to fly. in what were at first very weak conditions. High cloud cover hindered the development of good thermals. So before the actual start of the race, some pilots were still on the ground. The pilots who took advantage of every little climb were rewarded with better and better conditions. On the way from the first waypoint to the second, a fast flight tactic took its toll again.In addition, the wind was strong in the deeper air layers and suppressed the thermals. Those who flew high and could fly to the south side of the valley found good conditions. Whoever had achieved this could fly quickly to the finish.

the day is cancelled18. August 2020Task 2 is canceled. The weather forecast said we have a window to fly a valid task. Unfortunately a rain cell hit us exactly at the planned start time. So the conditions for a fair task were no longer given. Many pilots decided to fly to the landing field in Disentis. In a relaxed atmosphere the participants now enjoy the afternoon off. We hope for tomorrow! |
